(Not for Sawa inertia to work)

The issue of graduates remained a concern for both the state and society, especially after the state announced policies for the expansion of higher education institutions in the early 1990s, which resulted in a significant increase in the number of graduates over time. All the policies adopted by the State to address the issue of graduates and institutions created by attempts were not up to the level of addressing the problem or reducing its direct and indirect effects.

The theoretical and methodological shortcomings in dealing with the issue were evident in its reduction in job creation for graduates in the public sector and the adoption of microfinance policy to encourage private work among them. No doubt, the results of this short-sighted view showed its disadvantages when the emphasis was placed on job creation and its financial credentials without the existence of real work or even aids to it at best. This represented a waste of resources and energies on the one hand and the consolidation of the concept of civil service and microfinance projects as if they were a magical solution to the problem of graduates from the other side.

The issue of graduates needs a different, funky and comprehensive entrance. Graduates themselves should be the pioneers of this new approach, not just the recipients of solutions. Accordingly, the SDC initiative in collaboration with Omdurman Satellite Channel is an advanced model in adopting a new approach to addressing the problem in the first smart partnership between civil society and the private sector. Stressing that the issue of graduates is a community issue and the community must be proactive in putting forward its solutions and pioneer in achieving a slogan; let us be part of the solution and not part of the problem.
