This theme is dedicated to the development based on renewable resources, where the focus is on agriculture, both plant and animal (livestock – fisheries wealth), new and renewable energies and transfer industry of associated with agricultural products. Thus, the agricultural sector, indisputably, turns into the leading sector and the engine of the economy of Sudan. It contributes – both plant and animal – about 31.3% of GDP, and more than 70% of the total population depends on it in the provision of their food. It accommodates more than 57% of the workforce. Agriculture is also linked to front and strong rear relations with other sectors in the countryside in the areas of agro-industry, providing inputs of the industrial sector such as oils, sugar, and textile. Agriculture, above all, represents a service social and economic dynamism for all sectors and segments of society (local and global transportation services – movement of markets – export).The agricultural sector is the basic foundation for achieving sustainable development and food security of the country.

Work in this themes achieved through the existing bodies and institutions that will be stimulated and motivated to act and provide them with consultation. Investors (locally and abroad) will be prompted to set up projects, in itiate informal initiatives to consolidate the capacity of the Sudanese economy, open channels of finance and agricultural credit in the area of ​​industry and develop the national private sector to become a private sector of superior capacity that integrates the elements and components of production with high efficiency and competitiveness in the domestic and overseas markets.

The institution is focusing on accomplishing an analytical vision of the reality of the economic development that shows the strengths and weaknesses, challenges and opportunities, It is developing strategy for the development of the local private sector and prepare it for the stage. The detailed studies and practical suggestions will be developed as to the method of the integration of the private and public sector and quasi-government. Also the detailed studies will be completed for each area or issue of work-related economic development addressing the existing challenges, offer the possible practical solutions, allow technical and financial feasibility studies, and provides consultation and information, such that the institution turns into a national non-profit expert firm.

It is as follows:

–          Wind Energy: It is used in the new land sat the upper terraces.

–          Solar energy can be used to pump water, generate electricity and dry crops after harvest and in the rest of the agricultural operations in rural areas.

–          Biomass energy: It is an important type of renewable energy which can be invested, especially in rural areas. It takes several forms, including wood fuel, of agricultural products remnants, animal dung and ethanol from agricultural waste. Production units of biogas and composite can be developed and production from agricultural waste.

–          Small hydro energies: The use of small hydro generators to provide people in remote areas with electricity (upstream water mountain-lagoons – canals – small dams within the projects of water harvesting), where electricity is stored in batteries or used immediately or delivered through wires to a network that supplies homes and small projects with electric current.
