IDMC reports 9.1 million people in internal displacement in the Sudan at the end of 2025, the largest national number for the third year [7].

DISPLACEMENT

B.5How countries appear in the development and humanitarian edition

Countries enter the development and humanitarian edition through the poverty, services and social-protection chapters of their own national editions, on one card grammar. They are read against peer distributions and thresholds, never ranked.

How to read a country card

  • Each system is shown against the distribution of its peers, with thresholds where they exist
  • Couplings and risk objects come from the country’s own national edition
  • Capability rungs record evidence, not a judgement of institutions
  • Evidence age is printed, so older national data are visible as such
