Abstract: | In the Sudan there is a sizeable internal movement directed towards the developed and developing areas in the east-central part of the country. There are no comprehensive data about the socioeconomic characteristics of the migrants; only small-scale surveys have collected such information. This paper reports on the findings of a small-scale case study of one of the important receiving areas - Gedaref. It discusses socioeconomic characteristics of the migrants, reasons for migration to Gedaref, some consequences of the migration and policy implications. Bibliogr. |
