Impact of the El Ingaz Road in Darfur

Recent completion of the El Ingaz paved road, connecting Darfur to Central Sudan and improving communications between Darfur’s state capitals, has had a major impact on trade into, out of, and between Darfur states. This short paper is an attempt to capture some of that impact and to identify associated economic opportunities for Darfur. Completion of the El Ingaz road has come at a time when there is greater stability in many parts of Darfur than for a number of years since the conflict began in 2003.
