Our Approach
At WINS, we pursue our mission through a comprehensive, strategic approach grounded in innovation, collaboration, and impact. Our work is guided by six key pillars:
Research and Policy Development
WINS conducts innovative research on critical issues facing Sudan, providing evidence-based recommendations that inform policy decisions nationally and internationally. Research covers peacebuilding, U.S. and international Sudan policy, governance, human rights, federalism, economic development, and conflict resolution. WINS also produces policy briefs, reports, and publications that deepen understanding of Sudan’s challenges and opportunities.
Advocacy and Awareness Campaigns
WINS leads advocacy initiatives to raise awareness of Sudan’s urgent needs and mobilize international support. Through targeted campaigns and direct engagement with policymakers and organizations, WINS amplifies Sudanese voices on global platforms.
Capacity Building
We empower Sudanese civil society, media, and institutions through specialized training programs focused on democratic governance, human rights advocacy, policy analysis, and organizational leadership. By enhancing skills in democratic governance, policy analysis, advocacy, and leadership, we build a stronger foundation for lasting change.
Partnership Development
Collaboration is at the heart of our work. WINS builds strong partnerships with Sudanese civil society organizations, international NGOs, think tanks, academic institutions, and donors. These alliances expand impact, share expertise, and foster collective action.
Dialogue and Meditation
Recognizing dialogue as essential to peace, WINS facilitates inclusive conversations among political leaders, civil society actors, and marginalized communities. By acting as a convener, WINS helps bridge divides, foster understanding, and support mediation efforts to advance peace and consensus.
Monitoring and Evaluation
WINS maintains a robust monitoring and evaluation framework to assess outcomes, refine strategies, and ensure our initiatives deliver measurable and meaningful impact. Continuous learning and adaptation ensure that WINS’ strategies remain relevant and results-driven.
