Issued in 1964 in connection with the New York World's Fair, this stamp showcases the Khashm El Girba Dam, a major Sudanese development project built on the Atbara River. The dam was constructed to support irrigation, agricultural expansion, and economic development, while also helping to resettle communities affected by the construction of the Aswan High Dam and the creation of Lake Nasser.

By featuring the Khashm El Girba Dam at an international exhibition, Sudan highlighted its modernization efforts and commitment to national development. The issue promoted the country's achievements in infrastructure, water management, and agriculture, presenting these accomplishments to a global audience attending the New York World's Fair.
