A recent report published by IFPRI and UNDP reveals the severe socioeconomic impacts of the ongoing conflict on rural households in Sudan. The survey behind the report, which was conducted between November 2023 and January 2024, highlights severe disruptions in income, inadequate housing, and disparities in access to essential services such as water, electricity, and sanitation.
Key findings from the survey include:
- Mass migration from conflict-affected areas to safer states.
- Significant impacts on agriculture, with many households unable to cultivate land.
- Extensive exposure to personal, natural, and conflict-related shocks.
- Market disruptions due to conflict, soaring prices and reduced income levels.
The report underscores the urgent need for policy and programming interventions to support livelihoods, enhance public services, build resilience through social protection systems, and ensure equitable access to resources and markets, especially for women and vulnerable groups.
