The Sudanese Professionals Association (SPA, Arabic: تجمع المهنيين السودانيين‎) is an umbrella association of 17 different Sudanese trade unions. The organisation started forming in October 2012,[1] though was not officially registered due to government crackdowns on trade unions, and was created more formally in October 2016 by an alliance between unions of doctors, journalists and lawyers.[1] In December 2018, the group called for the introduction of a minimum wage and participated in protests in Atbara against the rising cost of living.
