The Sudan elections and democratic governance program (SEDGP) aims to strengthen the effectiveness of key Sudanese elections and referenda institutions and practices. The project also supported civic and voter education in marginalized communities (women, youth, and internally displaced persons), the establishment of regional and state-level civic and voter education consortia, co-ordination and planning by the donor elections Assistance Group and the training of up to 500 Sudanese trainers, both women and men. CIDA's contribution strengthens the ability of the Government of National Unity and the Government of South Sudan to meet their peace agreement commitments through increased support for the support for the national elections in 2010 and a 2011 referendum on the future of Sudan.
