520 Sudan like much of the rest of the developing world has
toyed with and abided by various approaches or strategies
to transfer technology (TT) and achieve sustainable
development (SD) without reaping any significant socio-
economic benefits. The Sudanese diasporic community is
relatively large and has a significant impact on Sudan
development on account of the size and volume of financial
remittances. However, diasporic contribution is largely
neglected within national science and technology policies
and strategies. Adopting a more holistic approach, the
conference aims to provide a stimulus for knowledge
exchange and discussion that focuses on issues relating to
the role of diaspora in TT and achieving SD to critically
examine the relations and links between diaspora, Sudan
and host countries, and attempts to outline policy and
strategies to support the role of diaspora in developing,
creating wealth and achieving SD in Sudan. The conference
also aims to learn lessons from the successful communities
across the world and emulate the ideas and innovations of
these communities by Sudan. This volume includes a wide
range (research areas and topics) of papers, projects,
proposals and case studies presented during the First
Sudanese Diaspora International Conference, held in
January 2009 in Brighton, United Kingdom. The seven main
sections include: Diaspora Contribution to Home Country;
Technology and Scientific Knowledge Transfer; Education,
Training and Development; Medical Sciences and Public
Health; Engineering Applications and Sustainable Business
Excellence; Environment and Waste Management; and
Abstracts for Oral Presentations.
