Frequently asked questions

  • YES! Sharik Organization is our technical arm to source in and cultivate an ecosystem of partnership between the youth and initiatives. Sharik Organization also leads many different efforts to ensure the whole Sharik ecosystem is also connected to its roots and communities.
  • We are GDPR compliant and also compliant with the local regulations in terms of Cooperatives registrations, financial systems and the likes.
  • That's a big question. All of these entities are what make Sharik an ecosystem. Let's demystify all of them:
    • Sharik Foundation is the engine that runs Sharik ecosystem and it is also the first contact point. Sharik Foundation tries to secure partnership, onboard new players (international NGOs, or private sector or Coops) to the ecosystem and ensure they fit right in. You also see Sharik Foundation in projects and products that are used throughout the ecosystem. Do you want to register to Sharik? Sharik KYC and Sharik ID are the foundation products.
    • Sharik Organization is the largest network of youth-led grass-root organization we know of. It was built orginally through partnership between Sharik Foundation and UNDP YLP. Since then, Sharik Organization grew in size and impact and became an important figure in all projects in Sudan.
    • Estidama is a for-profit company arm for Sharik ecosystem that can facilitate securing partnerships and raising investments for the whole Sharik ecosystem.
    • We believe in data and we like to think we are a data-driven ecosystem. Sharik data-driven mindset is largerly rooted in its founder and how they saw a lack in documentation and sharing of data. Hence, the existence of Sharik Knowledge Hub. The K-Hub is our gateway to all of our public resources and data. Businesses and researchers can access our portal and enjoy unlimited access to the whole ecosystem knoweledge.
  • Via our partners such as Mahsool and Sharik Marketplace, we believe we can help you tap into the agri- and agri-tech industries. We are also all in the agricultural value chain, so if you are importer or a small-holder farmer, we can help you -- and we can help facilitate access to them.
  • Our Digital Ledger and Saccos Core System have been built by a team with a long track record of delivering financial institution systems. We follow rigid PCI DSS standards as well as GDPR to ensure compliance.
