General
Sudan
Reduce the Introduction of Invasive Alien Species by 50% and Minimize Their Impact
ENEliminate, minimize, reduce and or mitigate the impacts of invasive alien species on biodiversity and ecosystem services in Sudan by identifying and prioritizing their pathways, controlling or eradicating the priority species, and putting in place measures to manage pathways to prevent their introduction and establishment, and reducing the rates of introduction and establishment of other known
- Eliminate, minimize, reduce and or mitigate the impacts of invasive alien species on biodiversity and ecosystem services in Sudan
- Identify and prioritize their pathways to prevent further infiltration into the country,
- Control and eradicating the priority invasive present and potential species,
- Strengthen biological and cultural control mechanisms to eradicate identified damaging invasive alien species on biodiversity of inland water and wetland ecosystems,

ENMeans to implementation and barriers to implementation
Yes (Additional means of implementation are needed for the attainment of this national target)
Means of implementation:
- Public media and specialized awareness programs for all stakeholders, on IAS impacts,
- Diagnostic studies on invasive alien species pathways and impacts on economic, social, health-sanitary and phytosanitary, and environmental impacts,
- Empower quarantine authorities and capacities on IAS interior and border control measures,
- IAS inventory,
- Participatory programs and projects for IAS elimination,
- Monitoring systems and tools evaluating progress of invasive alien species control measures,
- Training and capacity-building forms and programs for a staff and local communities on combating invasive alien species,
- Laboratories for analyzing, detecting and identifying invasive alien species,
- Prevention IAS procedures and protocols and microorganism species,
Barriers to implementation
- Inadequate funding for control of IAS,
- Inadequate capacity of staff and local community on control and eradication of IAS,
- Absence of data and information on extent of IAS expansion in Sudan
- Rapid expansion of IAS in many economic production and services areas in Sudan, _
