This technical meeting took place in Nairobi on May 9 and 10, 2003. The meeting was attended by the Sudanese Parties and a team of experts from the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the United Nations and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD). The United States participated as meeting facilitator.
Page 1, BACKGROUND: [...] There is also a need for a programme that provides rapid tangible benefits to Sudanese in the first six months after a peace agreement, and for capacity building that gives the necessary support to Sudanese in their preparation for the transitional government in the Pre-interim Period. These processes must start immediately and run parallel to the ongoing peace process. The quick start/impact programme will aim to build public confidence in the ongoing process of political transition and provide tangible benefits at the community level.
