Published purpose

For decades, South Sudan has suffered from conflict and high levels of food insecurity. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), in partnership with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), is implementing essential water harvesting, agriculture, and alternative livelihood activities in Jonglei and Eastern Equatoria. By constructing water harvesting structures and supporting community dialogue on resource use, FAO aims to decrease local conflict. Through training and access to agricultural inputs and services, FAO aims to increase household cereal crop production by 25%. Finally, UNIDO and FAO are working to increase skills in alternative income-generating activities, particularly for women and youth, and access to small grants.
