The Order of Merit (Arabic: نوط الجدارة, romanizednawṭ al-jadāra) or Order of Distinction is a state decoration of Sudan established on 16 November 1961 during Ibrahim Abboud's military government. It is given to government officials for long service and performance with honesty, devotion, and excellent character. These officials might be either Sudanese or foreigners.[1] Order have gold[2][3] silver[4] and bronze[5][6] classes. It had an associated medal.[7][8]

It is not permissible to repeat awarding of decorations and medals, or to rise from one class to a higher one, except after the lapse of at least three years from the date of awarding them. This period is reduced to one year for employees if they are referred to retirement. Orders and medals remain the property of the awardee, and their heirs as a souvenir without any of them having the right to carry it. Without prejudice to any other punishment stipulated in the laws of Sudan, it is permissible, by order of the President of the Republic, to strip the bearer of a necklace, sash, medal, medallion, cloak of honour, or belt if they commit an act that is dishonourable or inconsistent with loyalty to the state.[9]
