Note:

DTM Sudan defines a returnee as someone who was previously displaced from their habitual residence in Sudan due to an event dating from 2003 onwards, who has now voluntarily returned to their location of habitual residence, irrespective of whether they have returned to their formal residence or to another shelter type. Some IDPs who returned from locations of displacement may not have returned to their specific locations of origin and may remain displaced within their locality or state of origin.
