Published purpose
This project aims to increase food security for 275,000 vulnerable women and men in South Sudan. The project supports the provision of food to women and men in exchange for their work on community assets. These community assets include such things as the restoration of farmland for agricultural production, as well as the construction of access roads, small-scale irrigation ponds, or hand-dug wells. By distributing food in exchange for labour, the project seeks to address immediate hunger needs while in the longer term, building community assets which are expected to improve agricultural production and stimulate economic growth. The project is designed to serve as a safety net for vulnerable South Sudanese communities in food insecure areas by providing a transition between emergency relief and long-term development.
