Abstract: Purpose: The study sought to analyze the impact of mediation on conflict resolution in Sudan Methodology: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive's time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library. Findings: The results show that mediation can be a valuable tool for resolving conflicts, as it offers the parties involved greater control over the outcome of the dispute and can often bring about a peaceful resolution in a shorter period of time. Mediation has had a positive impact on conflict resolution in Sudan. It has enabled the parties involved in the conflict to engage in dialogue and reach mutually acceptable solutions, while also promoting compromise and cooperation. The agreements reached through mediation have provided a basis for the implementation of the CPA and have helped to address some of the underlying causes of the conflict. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practices and Policies: The principled negotiation theory and transformational theory may be used to anchor future studies in the conflict management sector. The study results will also benefit other stakeholders such as the policy makers as well as researchers and scholars from different parts of the world. The top management of conflict management sector in the country will also use the study findings to improve conflict resolution strategies in all their activities and programs. The study recommends that the adoption of effective mediation policies in the leadership conflict management sector will help to improve efficiency in their major operations and activities.
