The impact of war on trade and markets in Darfur: destruction, resilience and adaptation
Abstract
This issue brief provides an overview of how trade and markets in Darfur have adapted, positively and negatively, to the conflict since full-scale war broke out in April 2023. It is mainly focused on trade and markets within the 5 Darfur states. It complements the SPARC brief 'Darfur's long-distance trade: impact of war and Rapid Support Forces' trade embargo'.
This work is part of the Supporting Pastoralism and Agriculture in Recurrent and Protracted Crises (SPARC) programme.
