The official signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) on 9 January 2005 between the Government of the Republic of the Sudan (GoS) and the Sudan Peoples’ Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A) marked a historical watershed for Sudan. It brought to an end 22 years of protracted and costly civil war that had caused tremendous loss of life, devastated the country’s infrastructure (especially in the South) and destroyed livelihoods, trust and hope.

This booklet contains the Summary of the CPA only. The Summary aims to provide a general overview of the structure and content of the political, military and economic systems established by the CPA in order to enable readers to more easily understand the full text of the agreement.
