Prospects of Aerospace Industry in Sudan

“

The Sudanese economy is in bad shape. All developing countries that managed to get out of the poverty trap used the industrialisation path as a vehicle. Sudan is not an exception and hence a heavy injection of industrialisation is required. The aerospace industry fits the bill. It is going globally and hence presents the developing countries, like Sudan, with a great opportunity to benefit from this globalisation. The Safat aerospace centre in the Sudan can represent the first building block in a flourishing aerospace industry in the Sudan. However, as the paper argued there is still a lot to be done before the Sudan can create the investment-attractive environment needed for serious business. The paper argues that building a flourishing aerospace industry as an important element of sustainable development plan for the Sudan is a shared responsibility of good governance, quality education and well-guided investment. The paper also gives wide reaching recommendations that are required to help the Sudan to set on an industrial path that will lead to lifting the economy and improving the living standard of its citizens.
