Prehistoric communities in the Bayuda Desert, Sudan
This open-access Antiquity Project Gallery report combines archaeological survey, excavation and radiocarbon dating to investigate settlement changes in Sudan's Bayuda Desert beyond the Nile Valley. It helps trace relationships between communities and changing landscapes. Published online on 13 November 2024 and assigned to the February 2025 issue, it is older scholarship newly catalogued here, not a new 2026 discovery. This summary draws on the abstract and selected sections.
Mortuary practices and social organisation of the Meroitic State: Kedurma, Third Cataract region of the Nile
This open-access Antiquity article, published online on 29 January 2026, examines 50 tombs at Kedurma in Sudan. Differences in tomb architecture and burial objects support an interpretation of social relationships and identities more varied than a simple elite/non-elite division. It highlights exchange networks and local traditions. These are archaeological interpretations from one site, not a direct census of Meroitic society; this summary draws on the abstract and selected sections.
Academic resilience in wartime: Student agency and institutional continuity in Sudanese higher education during the ongoing conflict
Published in the October 2026 issue of the International Journal of Educational Development, this study examines academic continuity during Sudan's war through evidence from 132 students. It considers students' efforts and institutional strategies for sustaining learning. The summary draws on publisher excerpts, not a full-text review; the sample should not be treated as representative of all Sudanese universities or as proof of nationwide recovery.
Archaeology and cultural heritage in wartime: Sudan 2023–2025
This Antiquity guest editorial documents threats to Sudan’s archaeological heritage and responses by the National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums, Sudanese professionals and international partners during 2023–2025. It includes an update covering March–July 2025. It is a historical account of protection efforts, not a current inventory of damage or an independent impact evaluation.
Miseeda: between kingdoms, through epochs—reconstructing a history of the Mahas region (Sudan)
This Antiquity project report, published on 24 September 2026, explores the Mahas region of northern Sudan through archaeological survey and ethnographic research. A church surrounding an older rock carving provides a focus for investigating religious and social change across centuries. It is a distinct landscape-history study, not the Library’s separate study of reconstructed Christian Nubian clothing.
The Main Features of Sudan’s Income and Wage Structure in 2022
ERF Working Paper 1824, published in March 2026, examines household income sources, inequality and gender wage gaps in Sudan using 2022 conditions. It compares household characteristics, education, location and public/private employment. This is a pre-war baseline, not a measurement of present wartime incomes; this summary draws on the publisher’s abstract.
Globalization and financial development contributions toward economic growth in Sudan
Published in Research in Globalization, this study uses Sudanese data for 1978–2021 and an autoregressive distributed lag model, with robustness checks, to examine growth, globalization and financial development. It reports positive long-run associations for globalization and negative ones for financial development within its model. These historical statistical relationships are not proof of causation and do not measure the economy after the war began in 2023.
Laying the Groundwork for Recovery — UNDP Sudan Annual Report 2025
Published on 22 June 2026, this annual report reviews UNDP Sudan's work during 2025. It reports reaching 4.9 million people in ten states through health services, agricultural livelihoods, solar energy, water access, women's empowerment and peacebuilding. It sets out the programme's contribution to recovery amid conflict. The reach figures are institutional reporting, not an independent impact evaluation or a count of newly recovered livelihoods.
Costumes of prestige and authority in Christian Nubia: insights from archaeological reconstruction
This Antiquity project report explores dress and authority in Christian Nubia between the ninth and fourteenth centuries. The Costumes of Authority project reconstructed five outfits for kings, royal mothers and a bishop using visual and textile evidence. The reconstructions investigate how clothing conveyed status and presence; they are experimental interpretations, not intact surviving garments or definitive reproductions of every historical detail.
2026 Sudan conflict conference: Three years of conflict in Sudan: What the evidence tells us and what recovery requires — Conference proceedings
IFPRI Sudan SSP Working Paper 28 synthesises research and policy discussions from the Cairo conference of 14–15 April 2026. It connects fragmented markets, food affordability, displacement and damage to health and education with recovery needs. Participants call for coordinated humanitarian and development responses, combining cash assistance with livelihoods and market support. These are conference proceedings, not a single causal impact study.
Farming in crisis: Livelihood challenges and resilience in conflict-affected Sudan: Insights from the Sudan 2024 Smallholder Farmers Survey
IFPRI Sudan SSP Working Paper 27 analyses the 2024 smallholder survey across 13 of Sudan's 18 states, covering the 2023/24 winter season and preparations for summer 2024. It examines displacement, losses of productive assets, food insecurity and barriers to inputs and finance. Findings support locally tailored agricultural assistance; the 2026 publication reports earlier survey conditions rather than measuring current recovery.
Resilience of agricultural value-chains in Sudan: Findings from the THABAT Project Survey of Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs)
IFPRI Sudan SSP Working Paper 29 presents a telephone-survey baseline of 100 agrifood SMEs shortlisted for THABAT support. It documents inflation, supply-chain shocks, unreliable electricity and financing constraints alongside ambitions to invest and expand. The project-specific sample includes enterprises selected and not selected for matching grants; it is neither nationally representative nor a completed evaluation of grant impacts.
Three Decades of Flux: Analyzing Exchange Rate Determinants in Sudan (1992-2022)
Multiple-regression analysis of Sudan's official exchange rate from 1992 to 2022 against GDP, foreign reserves, exports, and imports. GDP, reserves, and exports correlate positively with the exchange rate and imports negatively; the model explains 96% of the variation (R² = 0.96, F = 155.73, p<0.01). Concludes that depreciation did little to boost exports or curb imports, reflecting Sudan's structural reliance on low-elasticity agricultural commodities, and recommends diversifying exports rather than relying on exchange-rate policy alone.
Digitally preserving Sudan’s cultural heritage
This project report presents the Sudan Virtual Museum, developed through Sudanese and international institutional collaboration. It explains how digital collections and tours preserve access to threatened museum objects and the tomb of Djehutyhotep. Available in Arabic, English, and French, the resource complements physical conservation.
Long-Term Economy-Wide Impacts of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on Sudan
The paper links economic, hydrological, water-allocation, and crop models to examine Sudan under steady-state GERD operation. It identifies potential gains through flow regulation, hydropower, and irrigation, with outcomes sensitive to crop choices. It does not establish that all filling, drought, or operational risks are resolved.
Sai Island: medieval architectural remains of a flourishing era
A reassessment of Sai’s medieval architectural remains explores churches, decorated building elements, and links to surrounding Nubian centres. It argues for studying the island within its wider religious and economic region. Proposed building chronologies remain archaeological interpretations rather than fully established historical dates.
Forts in Upper Nubia and a new perspective on the first centuries of Alwa and Makuria
The article uses defensive architecture to reassess political change between late Meroe and the emergence of Alwa and Makuria. Surveys, excavations, and archival evidence help interpret fortifications as expressions of power. Many sites retain broad or uncertain dates, limiting detailed historical reconstruction.
Bridging Divides: Local Peace Initiatives in Sudan
Six case studies from Darfur and Kordofan examine community efforts to mediate tensions, protect lives, reopen markets, and restore movement during war. Interviews and field accounts highlight roles for local leaders, young people, and traditional institutions. These cases offer practical lessons without establishing nationwide effectiveness.
A Remote Sensing Assessment of Cultivated Cropland Area in the Sudan during the Summer Season
Using satellite imagery, rainfall, and agricultural indicators, this assessment compares cultivated cropland between 2018 and 2024. It identifies an area recovery in 2024 after the 2023 contraction. Cultivated area is distinct from yield, harvested output, and households’ ability to obtain food.
Agricultural recovery and resilience in Sudan: Findings from the THABAT Project baseline survey of farmers
A baseline survey of 1,308 project farmers in Kassala, Northern, and River Nile states examines production, inputs, food security, markets, and agricultural adaptation.

Keepers of tradition: preliminary remarks from the ethnographic investigation of customs associated with clothing and authority among Sudanese women
An ethnographic study of how clothing expresses status, professional authority, and identity among Sudanese women. Its discussion of the thawb connects changing dress practices with women’s work and social position. The findings are preliminary and derive from selected communities rather than all Sudanese traditions.
Preserving Heritage Amid War: A Protocol for Recording and Disseminating the Tomb of Djehutyhotep at the Sudan National Museum

Sudan’s Future between Catastrophic Conflict and Peaceful Renaissance Growth Trajectories: Long-term Growth Model Simulations
Long-term simulations contrast the costs of prolonged war with growth under a peaceful political settlement and economic transformation. The authors emphasise agriculture, investment, and accountable government. The large estimated losses are relative to a specified peacetime counterfactual and should not be reported as measured physical damage.
Impact of Ongoing Conflict and Pathways to Recovery in Sudan
The paper combines an economy-wide model with household simulation to examine conflict effects on production, poverty, and undernourishment. It tests recovery through agricultural productivity, infrastructure, and social protection. Results depend on alternative economic contraction and recovery assumptions, rather than a single observed national trajectory.
Beyond the Conflict: Charting a Path to Sustainable Growth and Development in Sudan

The Destruction of Healthcare in Armed Conflict: Policy Implications and Accountability
A perspective on how attacks against healthcare in war destroy both clinical capacity and the social worlds built around care. Drawing mainly on Afghanistan while comparing several conflicts, including Sudan, it highlights psychosocial, gendered, and intergenerational harms—especially for women and children—and calls for prevention, enforcement of healthcare's protected status, accountability, and reconstruction as foundations of human security.
The Sudan Economy: 'Challenge and Suggestions' — A Meta-Study
A meta-analysis combining four studies of Sudan's exchange rate and commercial-bank profitability. It finds that exchange-rate volatility and error-correction results most strongly support the diagnosis of a structurally distorted economy, and argues that market mechanisms alone cannot restore stability without rebuilding the productive and financial sectors, improving social-support data, and strengthening economic planning.
