Abstract
The fourth round of the Sudan Welfare Monitoring Survey (WMS-4), conducted between May and July 2025, highlights significant disparities in welfare, livelihoods, and access to services among refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and non-displaced Sudanese households. Despite ongoing conflict, some displaced households have begun to return—particularly to Khartoum and Al Jazira—reflecting both necessity and localized improvements in stability, though services remain disrupted.
