Abstract
To provide equitable health care, and to realize the United Nations’ call for Health for All, health policies have to
be committed to core concepts of human rights and be inclusive of vulnerable groups. The aim of this study is to assess the
extent to which the Sudan Nutrition Policy addresses core concepts of human rights and the inclusion of vulnerable groups
using a novel policy framework (EquiFrame). The overall quality assessment of the policy was Moderate, scoring 67% for
vulnerable groups, 57% for core concepts of human rights and 29% for Core Concept Quality. In conclusion, if this policy is
to be improved, it is important to integrate the wider notions of human rights within the policy document and link these
explicitly to specific and carefully selected vulnerable groups.
