Abstract: As of 2022, Sudan was home to 1.1 million refugees and 3.7 million internally displaced persons(IDPs), along with a substantial population that had previously experienced displacement. TheSudan Labor Market Panel Survey (SLMPS) 2022 over-sampled locations hosting the displacedin order to facilitate research on refugees and IDPs. This paper investigates the geographicdistribution of the displaced, their demographics, their labor market and socioeconomic statusand outcomes, and their education, health, food security outcomes. It also reviews theirexperiences of shocks, their coping strategies, and the types of social assistance they receive.Important distinctions are made between current and returned IDPs and refugees and theiroutcomes are compared to those of Sudanese who were never displaced. Analyses also exploredifferences by location of residence (in host communities and camps), by sex, and acrossdifferent age groups.
