MAISOUN BADAWI (Sudan)

Maisoun Badawi is currently a Senior Private Sector Development Consultant for the World Bank Group in Khartoum-Sudan. Working at the intersection of injecting influence on structural reforms targeting social and economic inclusion in fragile, conflict and post conflict environments, Maisoun’s calling covers a range of plateaus ranging from spearheading initiatives at the grassroots level with civil society organizations, structuring and advising governments as a consultant and technical specialist at regional and multilateral organizations.

Her inspired journey for the past two years was invested in Sudan. Inspired by the recent Sudanese-youth led call for political change, in 2018, she co-founded together with friends, the Sudanese-American Coalition for Democracy- an initiative that was instrumental in bridging voices of the Sudanese youth and other stakeholders to influence and educate policy and decision makers on Sudan’s revolt and to join the collective efforts of channeling documented violations committed against protesters and more particularly women internationally and locally.
