In Sudan, after the uprising in 2019 that ended a thirty year-long military dictatorship, a series of political and peacemaking agreements were made in the country. During this time of transition, the Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening (CEPPS), with core partners the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES), the International Republican Institute (IRI), and the National Democratic Institute (NDI), worked alongside Sudanese as they strived to create a more sustainable democracy through a program called Improving Electoral and Political Process for Change (IEPP).
