Sudan

Only about 34.8% of Sudan’s population lives in urban areas, which is low for a country with a population over 50 million. This suggests a predominantly rural economy and lifestyle, which often correlates with challenges in delivering centralized services like education and complex healthcare.

Access to electricity stands at 66%, meaning approximately one-third of the population lacks reliable power. This significant infrastructure deficit severely limits industrialization, education, and healthcare provision, especially in rural areas where the urban population is already low (34.8%).

Sudan's life expectancy of 66.33 years is relatively high compared to its extremely low GDP per capita and high infant mortality rate. While still below the global average, this figure suggests some resilience in basic public health infrastructure or cultural factors mitigating mortality risks, despite acute crises.

Despite having a very low GDP per capita (less than $800), Sudan maintains a high fertility rate of 4.32 children per woman. This combination suggests significant demographic pressure on limited economic resources, hindering long-term development and poverty reduction efforts.
