The Sudanese Initiative for Peace and Institutional Reconstruction is an independent, voluntary, non-profit civic framework supporting peace, dialogue, research, awareness, and capacity-building related to Sudan’s future and its institutions.

The initiative’s administrative coordination base is in Canada. Online working groups may be formed in other countries in accordance with applicable laws.

Support lasting peace in Sudan; study legal and constitutional options for political transition; prepare research and proposals for rebuilding state institutions; encourage inclusive civic dialogue; promote human rights, the rule of law, transparency, and accountability; engage Sudanese professionals at home and abroad; communicate with relevant regional and international institutions; and prepare policy papers and submissions for consultations.

The initiative commits to independence, peaceful action, respect for the law, pluralism and freedom of opinion, non-discrimination, rejection of violence and hatred, and protection of member privacy.

Founding membership is for individuals who adopt the founding documents; active membership is for admitted members with participation and voting rights; advisory membership is for specialists who provide advice without voting rights unless they also become active members.

Applicants must accept the bylaws, respect peaceful principles, provide necessary membership information, and adhere to the code of conduct.

Members may participate in eligible activities and meetings, submit proposals and complaints, access permitted decisions, and withdraw voluntarily. Active members may vote and stand for election under these bylaws.

Members must respect the bylaws, protect confidential information, disclose conflicts of interest, and not use the initiative’s name without authorization.

The structure includes the General Assembly, Coordination Committee, General Coordinator, Secretariat, Research and Legal Affairs Committee, Institutional Relations Committee, and Media and Documentation Committee. Additional specialized committees may be established by an organizational decision.

The General Assembly is the highest organizational body, consisting of founding and active members with voting rights. It elects leaders, adopts and amends bylaws, reviews reports, and makes major organizational decisions. Ordinary meetings require more than half of eligible voting members for quorum, and ordinary decisions pass by a simple majority.

At establishment, the General Assembly selects a five-member interim committee for six months to coordinate activities, membership, meetings, and preparations for permanent leadership elections.

Leadership is selected through documented internal elections. Elected terms last one year and may be renewed in accordance with General Assembly decisions. Electronic voting may be used with safeguards for integrity and confidentiality.

The Coordination Committee meets at least monthly. Meetings may take place online, and decisions must be recorded in formal minutes.

No member may speak or sign agreements on behalf of the initiative without written organizational authorization. The initiative does not claim to represent all Sudanese people; it represents its members and those who provide explicit, limited mandates.

The initiative operates on a non-profit basis and commits to recording revenue and expenditure and financial transparency. Fundraising and financial commitments must not begin until appropriate legal and accounting procedures are established.

The initiative safeguards personal information, restricts access to authorized administrators, and will not publish member names or disclose personal data without an appropriate lawful basis and consent.

Organizational measures concerning alleged bylaw violations may be taken only after notifying the member, hearing their response, issuing a reasoned decision, and allowing an appeal.

Amendments require two-thirds of valid votes cast at a quorate meeting, after members have been informed of the proposed amendments.

Dissolution requires approval by three-quarters of the General Assembly members with voting rights, with obligations settled under applicable laws.

These bylaws take effect after adoption by founding members at a formally documented meeting. Internal adoption does not replace any legal registration that may be required.
