About RBC (Sudan) PDF Print E-mail

Sudanese Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) through their National Focal Point,The Sudanese Environment Conservation Society (SECS) have been part of the Resource Based Conflicts initiative (RBC) since the first meeting which was held in The Hague in 1998. The Society was entrusted with the hosting of the third RBC Conference which focused on identification and analysis of stakeholders in designing advocacy campaigns. The main case presented in that conference was based on the Dinder National Park as a biosphere reserve. The Society has participated and represented Sudan in all the annual conferences held by the RBC with the exception of the fifth conference.

An RBC Task Force (TF) was established by SECS in 2005 to handle all the issues related to the RBC and the TF designated a coordinator to lead the activities. The national network has no less than 26 member organisations that joined based on their willingness to engage in RBC activities in the Sudan. The initial membership recruitment was done through a mapping exercise that was based on the guidelines proposed by the RBC Regional Network, namely:

  1. Vision and mission:
    Like-mindedness is a vital aspect to consider when selecting members to any network. It is important that members of the network share a common vision and bear a likeness in achieving the common agenda that is bringing them together.
  2. Commitment towards RBC issues in the Horn and East Africa:
    It will be of uttermost importance to seek national indigenous organizations either having a conflict prevention component in their work or those willing to integrate conflict prevention issues in their programmatic areas.
  3. Credibility and legitimacy of the civil society group:
    The CSO must be legally constituted, with a legitimate Board of Directors and a functional executive. In addition, the organisation must have a good reputation and have credible record of accountability, transparency and legitimacy. One can only assess these qualities if they have a good knowledge of the constituents that the civil society group represents.
  4. Level of dedication and commitment to the RBC course:
    The ability of the network to thrive amidst limited resources relies on the commitment by the civil society groups to be dedicated to the cause of reducing the impact of RBCs in the Horn and East Africa. The potential civil society groups have to be willing to invest time, financial, and personnel resources to the cause of the RBC initiative
  5. Added value:
    The members that potentially form the network ought to be able to make substantive contribution to the achievement of the RBC goals and objectives. This will justify the value added of having organization A and not B or vice versa in a given national network. Such civil society groups ought to have a great track record of programme design, planning, fund-raising and implementation respectively.
