Policy Statement Issue1: The ageing population in Sudan makes up a small 2.5% of the society. Despite this minor figure, Sudan firmly believes in the necessity of an efficient system of aid and resources for the elderly. Seeing as how Sudan is a developing nation, we believe that the role of elderly people in society will increase, as Sudan develops higher standards of living. Nonetheless, Sudan cannot possibly emphasize the importance of implementing a system from the beginning, by acquiring the sufficient means to combat this issue before it grows out of control. Moreover, we believe that education is the primary root in combating this issue. As educated citizens will be able to make wise choices and decisions in planning their savings, hence, the growth rate of the problem will be limited. The role of the government; however, is most important in the solution of this problem. By setting a more successful and more efficient retirement funding system, the burden will be lifted from the shoulders of economically active. Sudan will also call upon all nations collaboration in coming up with an efficient solution to the nature of this issue. Nations must merge data, systems, ideas and methods of implementation. Finally, Sudan would like to reaffirm the magnitude of this issue, as it is only fair to give the elderly what they have given us.
