Sudan has historically struggled with political instability and economic mismanagement, which is further exacerbated by internal conflict and external interventions. This paper examines the United Nations (UN) role in Sudan's economic governance amid the ongoing conflict, determining whether its initiatives foster long-term resilience or reinforce structural dependency through the lens of Dependency Theory. The paper explores the impact of United Nations agencies such as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Sudan's economic environment. The analysis adopts a qualitative method, utilizing secondary sources from academic literature. The findings indicate that, while United Nations initiatives provide immediate relief and institutional support, they often establish structural dependency, weakening Sudan's long-term economic sovereignty. The interventions typically impose externally designed governance models that prioritize macroeconomic discipline over inclusive development and long-term institutional capacity-building. Consequently, the paper argues that to promote resilience and reduce structural vulnerability, there should be a reassessment of international intervention strategies.
