Description :
The White Nile area of the Sudan has undergone significant socio-economic change during the 1980s as demonstrated by surveys carried out near Ed Dueim in 1980 and 1992. At fist sight these changes appear to be linked directly with the reduction in average annual rainfall. This paper demonstrates that, though important, this factor is not the sole, and may not even be the main factor involved. Government investment policy and associated population movementsare shown to have great significance.
