Throughout history, human stories abound with people who have challenged their conditions, innovated and succeeded, and became pioneers and inspiration for millions of people, as well as countries that rise and grow when the challenges they face become opportunities, by finding innovative solutions. Innovations in renewable energy or genetic technologies can also be deployed quickly, without incurring huge transportation costs. Portability, affordability, affordability and portability are at the core of many advanced technologies.

One of the most prominent examples, which we all know about this, is what the UAE and Dubai achieved in a few decades in all fields, to become today the second largest Arab economy, and enter the space race and benefit from nuclear and solar energy. There is no doubt that the Emirates model is an incentive for other Arab countries to discover their strengths and turn the challenges they face into opportunities for success, as most of them have resources that require only good management and exploitation. That is why it must think about innovative ways, to take advantage of the latest technology and science to achieve qualitative leaps. But what is the way for Sudan to transform into a rising African tiger in the coming years? Here are some suggestions:

Water solutions

Water resources in Sudan suffer from the problem of pollution, and rain water and floods in the country are not utilized on a large scale, in addition to the weak use of water harvesting methods by Sudan, as a result of which there is a lack of safe drinking water for 44.6% of the population. For this, it is necessary to develop integrated plans to provide water in a sustainable manner for agriculture and drinking on the individual and collective levels These solutions should combine traditional methods of saving water, such as dams and rainwater harvesting, and innovative semi-individual solutions such as collecting drinking water from moisture in the air.

Agriculture solutions

The area of ​​arable land in Sudan is about 40% of the total arable land in the Arab region, but only a quarter of it is invested. Cotton is the traditional strategic crop in Sudan, and may generate revenues of no less than four billion dollars in the future, if its cultivated areas expand, and the level of its marketing and manufacturing improves in the country.

Improving agricultural productivity in Sudan requires expanding the use of available agricultural lands, improving methods of using them, and drones can be used to throw thousands of seeds automatically.

Transportation solutions

In the state of Khartoum, about five million and 600 million Sudanese citizens need daily transportation from eight million citizens, and in return there are only about four million and 34,000 seats, meaning that about 1.5 million citizens do not find seats in public transport, and the Sudanese government is making efforts Great for solving the transportation crisis in Khartoum, by increasing buses and operating local trains, but these traditional solutions may not be sufficient, if no attempt is made to avoid the coincidence of the date of departure and return of workers and students on the one hand, and the application of an integrated strategy for the transportation sector.

Energy solutions

The total electric power generated in Sudan reached about 17 GWh in 2018, and about 57% of it was generated through hydroelectric stations, but the electric energy does not reach the entire population, as the World Bank estimates that only 39% of the population connect to the electrical network.

Health solutions

Communicable diseases are the main cause of diseases and deaths in Sudan, especially among children, and 30% (12% in urban areas and 39% in rural areas) reside in the Sudanese within five kilometers from the nearest health care center. Most communicable diseases are due to water contamination by germs and chemicals, the spread of mosquitoes due to the poor availability of sewage networks in rural areas, stagnation of contaminated water and the proliferation of mosquitoes in them.

Education solutions

Quality education plays a major role in development, but Sudan suffers from a high rate of illiteracy, as it reaches 27% among citizens between the ages of 15 and 24. In addition, the percentage of children out of school increased to more than 30%. Many international organizations, including UNICEF, offer multiple programs to support Sudan in overcoming these challenges, using traditional methods of education.

The arable land in Sudan constitutes 40% of the arable land in the Arab region.

Sudan enjoys 7 sunny hours a day, and the third is in Africa in terms of solar energy availability.
