The objective of this project is to deliver rigorous research on how official (de jure) policies intersect with local (de facto) border management in Sudan’s conflict-affected regions, and to understand the implications for everyday governance and local power dynamics. Building on this, the project explores how these intersections shape patterns of authority, resource control, and mobility, and what they reveal about the resilience or fragility of state structures. By analysing both formal frameworks and informal practices, the research aims to generate insights that inform policy responses and support more inclusive, context-sensitive approaches to governance in borderland areas.
