Abstract:
Government intervention in Sudan has been pronounced in agriculture sector
in form of agricultural development projects (ADP). The aim was to up left

disbursements the ADP has failed to switch the intended groups of
population to high return activities or even sufficient access to productive
assets. Now the objectives of such projects are being illusionary and
macroeconomic policy success only as “an enabling environment”.

effectiveness and the trade -off between the hostel and constructing new
schools. All this things has its implication in the process of development
