Pact Sudan Country Programme.
Pact is an international NGO with head offices in Washington, USA and working across Africa, Eurasia, Asia and Latin America. Pact believes that increasing the capability of local communities and organisations to manage peacebuilding activities at the grassroots level will be a more effective road towards sustainable peace.
Pact is a networked global organisation that builds the capacity of local leaders and organisations to meet pressing social needs in dozens of countries around the world. Its work is firmly rooted in the belief that local communities must be the driving force in ending poverty and injustice.
