Purpose: This paper aims to offer guidance to government officials in Sudan following the end of the war, drawing on lessons learned from previous experiences in African countries that have successfully recovered from internal conflicts. By doing so, Sudan can avoid past mistakes and leverage successful strategies from others.
Design/Methodology/Approach: This study employs a combination of data collection methods, integrating both primary and secondary sources. Specifically, it includes a desk review of relevant global, regional, and national literature reports and documents concerning conflict-affected countries, together with insights from the researcher’s personal experience.
Findings: The study outlines ten key tips for decision-makers in post-war Sudan, all designed to promote sustainability and prevent a relapse into conflict. They include: (1) Sudanese Dialogue; (2) Effective Dialogue Representatives and Using Appropriate Language; (3) Constitutional Development; (4) Unifying Media Discourse; (5) Selection of Appropriate
Leaders; (6) Neutralising the Military from Civil Work; (7) Social Justice and National Reconciliation; (8) Economic Considerations; (9) Education, Health and Food Security Reform, and (10) Local Governance.
Originality/Value: This study is one of the few available in the literature on post-war studies in Sudan. It offers ten golden tips that will contribute to the sustainability of the country.
