    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.
