This report is part of the Arab Gender Gap Reports Series (2026 Edition) developed by the Research and Studies Unit at Professional Tools for Training & Capacity Building. It provides an institutional analytical assessment of the Republic of Sudan’s performance in the Global Gender Gap Index 2025, published by the World Economic Forum. The report examines gender disparities across four key dimensions: Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment. Sudan ranks 147th globally out of 148 countries, with an overall score of 0.570, indicating that 57.0% of the gender gap has been closed. The findings reveal a structurally unbalanced pattern: relatively strong performance in education (0.974) and health (0.961), contrasted with critically low outcomes in economic participation (0.313) and political empowerment (0.030). The analysis highlights a significant structural gap between human capital formation and its effective conversion into economic participation, income generation, and institutional representation. The report further situates these findings within a broader socio-economic context characterized by informality, limited access to resources, institutional fragility, and structural barriers affecting women’s participation. It concludes that improving Sudan’s position requires strengthening institutional conversion mechanisms that link education to economic outcomes, labor to income, and participation to representation.
