STPT – The Sudan Transparency and Policy Tracker  was established in early 2022 to respond to the need for more organized and sustained anti-corruption campaigning. Corruption has played an important role in recent Sudanese politics. Bashir-era economic mismanagement gutted the economy, which in part inspired the protests that forced Bashir out, efforts to combat corruption were a major factor leading to the coup in October 2021. STPT will develop detailed, high-quality, investigation and analysis of corruption issues by Sudanese voices. Building on its deep connections to Sudanese civil society and the profile and reputation of its director both with Sudan and internationally, STPT will serve as a bridge between international and national campaigners. STPT’s business model is built on program partnerships with in-country and international peer experts and networks of investigators focused on Sudan.
