Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore the cultural and institutional changes needed to achieve sustainable development in Sudan.

Approach: The paper endeavours to draw lessons from the experiences of industrialised and high-tech societies, and suggests some measures for a sustainable development process.

Findings: The success of developed societies rest upon certain cultural traits; therefore, a collective and inclusive effort is needed to bring these traits into the Sudanese cultural landscape through a bottom-up approach, utilising education and social work.

Social implications: The paper hopes to trigger in-depth research on the topic in order to kick-start a cultural overhaul process in Sudan.
Value: The paper emphasises the importance of cultural attitudes as a foundation for industrialisation; it also stresses that the process of change is a collective effort based on a bottom-up approach.
Keywords: Culture; Ethics; Social work; Bottom-up approach; Industrialisation; Education; Development; Peace; Security.
