Sudan received pledges for $3.55 billion to help develop the impoverished east of the country at a two-day conference in Kuwait, short of the $4 billion it sought to raise.
“Most of those who made pledges did not specify certain projects,” Mostafa Osman Ismail, an adviser to Sudan’s president, said in Kuwait City today. “Most of the pledges are for developmental and infrastructure projects. Pledges made for investments weren’t a lot.”
