The website of the Ministry of Justice ( http://moj.gov.sd/index.php ) has a search engine on the top right corner that allows users to search for Sudanese laws. The laws can be viewed only on web pages as text and cannot be downloaded in bulk. When searching for some keywords, such as "companies" (شركات) all additions of the companies law appear including one which was issued in 2015, which suggest that the content appears to be up to date.

100 Government Budget


There is evidence that Sudan has an annual budget that is prepared in a formal format and gets approved by the Cabinet ( http://www.sudan.gov.sd/index.php/ar/events/details/1/789/%D9%85%D8%AC%D9%84%D8%B3-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%88%D8%B2%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%A1-%D9%8A%D8%AC%D9%8A%D8%B2-%D9%85%D8%B4%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%B9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%B2%D9%86%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%A9-%D9%84%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%85-2015%D9%85#.VgaVFo9Viko ), but it could not be determined in what format it is available or if available online at all. The website of the Ministry of Finance of Sudan could not be found and the website of the Central Bank of Sudan ( http://www.cbos.gov.sd/ ) is offline.

Budgets are supposed to be found here, http://www.mof.gov.sd/doc_view... but links not working.

Sudan Meteorological Authority website has data about weather, but we could not find data about the wind, some links, like the link for 5 days forecast of temperature, is not working. Also we could not find historical data about temperature for the past year on Sudan Meteorological Authority website.(http://www.ersad.gov.sd)

The data on Central Bureau of Statistics website is outdated, last data about population was in 2008 , and last report about national statistics such as demographic and economic indicators was published in 2014 (http://cbs.gov.sd/files/S%20in%20F%202009-2013%281%29.pdf). the report does not include data about unemployment.

The format of data on Central Bureau of Statistics website are XLSX and PDF.

According to IBP's Open Budget Survey Sudan does not publish anything except the enacted budget and the year-end report. The audit is internal so it is not safe to say that the year-end report is valid or that the data exists.

It seems that Sudan does not have data about its public procurement. We only found some examples for data about the tenders in some official websites like the website of Sudanese Electricity Transmission Co. Ltd, and the data seems outdated (http://setco-sd.com/index.php/ar/tenders).

The Ministry of Justice of Sudan is responsible for the commercial register. Its website has a feature to look for registered company names, to help users in applying for names which are not taken already (http://www.crd.gov.sd/searchtst22sql.php). This search engine does not provide any details about the companies themselves and no other information appears to be available on the internet about this dataset.
