The Sudan Mobility Overview provides an in-depth analysis of displacement and mobility in Sudan between 01 July and 27 August 2024. This bi-monthly report summarizes displacement pathways, movement intentions, and humanitarian needs and access to services among IDPs in Sudan. 

DTM Sudan relies on a network of 492 enumerators and 7,217 key informants to collect data from 8,898 locations across all 18 states in Sudan.
