USAID supports democratic development in partnership with Sudanese civil society. In addition to building the capacity of the civil society sector, USAID supports civic initiatives that promote local and national dialogue and consensus on governance frameworks that best serve the interests and aspirations of the Sudanese people.

In Darfur, USAID works with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and UN Women to support gender-based violence prevention and response services to enhance the protection and promotion of women’s rights.
