Description

 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.
