INFORMAL SECTOR
The promoted policies of failed national governments following independence, which spread civil wars and destroyed the productivity of the Sudanese rural population, and led to their displacement to the main cities where they took up a number of professions that have expanded the informal sector, such as tea makers, artisans and street vendors, and they did not paid attention to the expansion of this sector, which currently employs about 70% of the Sudanese labor force.
The Sudanese Congress Party pays great attention to this sector and is working to push through the enactment of legislation that protects these workers and prevents the authorities from encroaching upon their legal rights. We also emphasize the need for the state to encourage banks to allocate a certain percentage of financing funds for workers in this sector. And that the State shall undertake to provide the necessary training and qualifications to raise the productivity of these workers which in turn improves the quality of the product or service provided and making it more competitive.
