The project aims to increase agricultural production and food security for vulnerable farming households in South Sudan through improved, increased and diversified crop production, as well as by building the productive asset base of food insecure households (e.g. through the distribution of livestock). Project activities include: (1) distributing seeds and tools to beneficiaries; (2) training of Ministry of Agriculture extension workers to train small holder farmers on topics such as crop production, post-harvest processing and storage methods; (3) distributing livestock (e.g. goats) to vulnerable households; and (4) training and support for community animal health workers to provide veterinary services.
