Mass influxes were witnessed during years when the region experienced natural catastrophes as droughts and floods, or an escalation of tensions and conflict in neighboring countries, mainly Eritrea and Ethiopia. Presently there is still a steady but smaller in numbers influx of refugees, mostly from Eritrea, but with an apparent change in their social composition and expectations. Present day internal population movements relate to more conventional forms of migration within Sudan, that is, households in search of work and economic opportunities. Still, the situation of the large number of IDPs that moved to the area over 15 years ago and are living in camps is precarious and needs urgent attention. Presently there are not the basic conditions required to provide a durable solution to the refugees in a protracted situation in eastern Sudan. To a large extent that also applies to IDPs with long permanence in camps; there are not conditions to achieve self-reliance by most of the displaced population given the situation of their locations in eastern Sudan in terms of natural environment and its capacity to support sustainable agriculture and other urban and rural economic activities. Within the overall mission of the World Bank, its strategic objective in contributing towards the durable solution of forced displacement situations is to bring the affected countries and displaced population back to the path of peace and development, enabling the application of pro-poor policies and fostering economic growth. Under these conditions, the World Bank will be in a better position to engage the affected countries through its regular operations.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACADEMIC INSTITUTIONSACCESS TO CREDITACCESS TO EMPLOYMENTACCESS TO FINANCEACCESS TO FORMAL CREDITACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICESACCESS TO INFORMATIONADVISORY SERVICEAFFORDABLE COSTAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL SECTORALLOCATION OF RESOURCESASYLUMASYLUM SEEKERSBANK ACCOUNTSBARRIERS TO INVESTMENTBASIC EDUCATIONCIVIL WARCOMMERCIAL BANKSCOMMUNITY AFFAIRSCOOPERATIVESCREDIT ASSOCIATIONSCREDIT MECHANISMSDECISION MAKINGDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDEVELOPMENT BANKDEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVESDEVELOPMENT PLANNINGDEVELOPMENT PLANSDEVELOPMENT POLICIESDISCRIMINATIONDISSEMINATIONDONOR SUPPORTDRINKING WATEREARLY MARRIAGEECONOMIC ACTIVITIESECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC CIRCUMSTANCESECONOMIC CONDITIONSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIESECONOMIC POLICIESECONOMIC SITUATIONECONOMIC STATUSECONOMIES OF SCALEEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEMPOWERMENTENROLLMENTENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITYENVIRONMENTSESSENTIAL SOCIAL SERVICESETHNIC GROUPSEXPENDITUREEXPENDITURESEXPLOITATIONFAMILIESFAMILY MEMBERSFEMALE EMPOWERMENTFEMALE STUDENTSFINANCE INITIATIVESFINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSFISHERIESFOOD SECURITYFOOD SHORTAGESGENDERGENDER EQUALITYGENDER GAPGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGROUP GUARANTEESHANDICRAFTSHEALTH CAREHEALTH SERVICESHOST COUNTRYHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLDSHUMAN RIGHTSHUMANITARIAN AFFAIRSILLITERACYILLITERACY RATEIMMIGRATIONIMMOVABLE PROPERTYINFLUX OF REFUGEESINFORMAL CREDITINFORMAL LENDERSINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINTEREST RATESINTERNAL POPULATION MOVEMENTSINTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCEINTERNATIONAL COMMUNITYINTERNATIONAL COOPERATIONINTERNATIONAL TRADEKINSHIPKINSHIP RELATIONSLABOUR MARKETLACK OF FINANCELAND OWNERSHIPLAND REGISTRATIONLAND TENURELAND USELARGE NUMBERS OF REFUGEESLEGAL STATUSLENDERSLEVELS OF PRODUCTIVITYLIMITED ACCESSLIVELIHOOD OPPORTUNITIESLIVING CONDITIONSLOANLOCAL COMMUNITIESLOCAL POPULATIONMEATMICRO FINANCEMICRO FINANCE SYSTEMMICRO-FINANCEMIGRANTMIGRANTSMIGRATIONMINESMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMINISTRY OF HEALTHMORTALITYNATIONAL POPULATIONNATIONAL POPULATION COUNCILNATURAL DISASTERSNATURAL ENVIRONMENTNATURAL GASNATURAL RESOURCESNUMBER OF PEOPLENUMBER OF REFUGEESNUMBER OF WOMENNUTRITIONOILOPERATIONAL COSTSOVERGRAZINGOWNERSHIP OF LANDPASTURESPEACEPESTICIDESPLACES OF ORIGINPOLICY DECISIONSPOLICY DIALOGUEPOLICY FORMULATIONPOLICY FRAMEWORKPOLICY LEVELPOPULATION DENSITYPOTENTIAL CONTRIBUTIONPOTENTIAL INVESTORSPRACTITIONERSPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIVATE PROPERTYPRODUCERSPROGRESSPROMOTION OF INVESTMENTSPUBLIC AFFAIRSPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC SERVICESQUALITY OF LIFERATES OF RETURNREFUGEEREFUGEE CAMPSREFUGEE COMMUNITIESREFUGEE POPULATIONREFUGEE SITUATIONREFUGEE STATUSREPATRIATIONREPATRIATION OF REFUGEESRESPECTRETURNEESREVOLVING FUNDREVOLVING FUNDSRULE OF LAWRURAL AREASRURAL COMMUNITIESRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL POPULATIONRURAL POVERTYSAVINGSSCHOOL ENROLLMENTSELF-RELIANCESERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE PROVISIONSET OF RECOMMENDATIONSSITUATION OF WOMENSMALL BUSINESSESSMALL FARMERSSMALL FARMSSOCIAL CONFLICTSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOURCE OF INCOMESOURCE OF INFORMATIONSOURCES OF INCOMESPECIAL FUNDSTATE GOVERNMENTSSTATE PLANNINGSTRATEGIC PRIORITIESTRADITIONAL OCCUPATIONSUNFPAUNITED NATIONS HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR REFUGEESURBAN AREASURBAN CENTRESURBAN POPULATIONURBAN POPULATION MOVEMENTSURBAN POVERTYURBANIZATIONVICIOUS CYCLEVILLAGEVILLAGESVOCATIONAL TRAININGVOLUNTARY REPATRIATIONVULNERABILITYWAGESWARWATER RESOURCESWORKING CAPITALWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/13036
