Strong protest by Sudanese might have led to the abolishing of the plan to develop one million acres of the famous Gezira Scheme (404685hectares). Egyptian Smallholder Scheme (40568hectares) was proposed in 2014. Publications after 2014 mention that the Gezira Scheme has failed, despite plans supported by the World Bank for privatisation. No large-scale operation by Egyptian actors.
