Description: This project aims to support Tagadom, a coalition of Sudanese pro-democratic forces, by facilitating its Founding Convention. The week-long event focuses on enhancing Tagadom's transparency and legitimacy through the formal election of its leadership council. It also features workshops on key thematic issues such as security sector reform and transitional justice, allowing for discussions among a broad cross-section of Sudanese representatives. It also seeks to formulate a political negotiation position. Build Up is engaged to manage convention logistics in collaboration with Tagadom, while an event company hired through this project liaises with travel and hotel suppliers for the 600 convention delegates. The National Convention, Build Up, supports two-day preparatory meetings, one for women and youth, as the convention aims for at least 30% women and 40% youth active participation and eight post activities.
