FactsheetInformation systems boosting food security in South Sudan - GCP/SSD/003/EC 2017The armed conflict that began in December 2013 in South Sudan has resulted in a weakening of government institutions, a breakdown in the provision of basic services, an economic crisis and severe disruption to livelihoods for a majority of the population. The cumulative effect of this has been severe and rising food insecurity across the country. The resultant post-conflict weakening of technical and institutional capacity has significantly eroded the Government’s ability to formulate and implem ent its national food security strategy. Consequently, food security interventions are now informed by Rapid Food Security Assessments and the more robust Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), both of which almost always result in short-term or emergency humanitarian responses. Addressing chronic food insecurity in South Sudan requires a robust food security information system and analysis framework.

FactsheetTechnical Support for Improved Food Security through Capacity Development for Livestock Trade and the Control of Livestock Diseases in South Sudan - TCP/SSD/3901 2025

No results found.In South Sudan, livestock is a major contributor to food and nutrition security, with more than 65 per cent of the population relying on it for their livelihoods. The livestock sector has been severely affected by flooding since 2019. According to a recent Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) assessment, the 2021 floods affected an estimated 10.1 million animals in different states, resulting in 795 000 animal deaths, especially small ruminants (sheep and goats) which are typically owned by poorer and more vulnerable households. The worst affected states were Unity, Jonglei and Upper Nile where 13.7 percent, 10.7 percent, and 7.6 percent of affected animals died respectively. In addition, the floods created conditions conducive to the outbreak of animal diseases, including zoonotic diseases (which can affect both animals and humans) such as Rift Valley Fever. For example, in the Greater Bahr El Ghazal region, increased cases of lumpy skin disease (LSD), haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) and contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) in cattle, pest of small ruminants (PPR) and footrot in small ruminants were reported. As a result, and due to animal deaths and reduced livestock production and productivity, the floods affected livelihoods, food security and nutrition. -
FactsheetImproving Food Security, Livelihoods and Income for Vulnerable Communities in South Sudan - GCP/SSD/006/SWI 2019

No results found.Although South Sudan is endowed with abundant natural resources, includingextensive agricultural land and reserves of oil, the country is disaster-proneand experiences protracted natural and man-made crises, which can manifestthemselves in the form of widespread and persistent violence, populationdisplacement and disruption of livelihoods. As the country faces a majorhumanitarian crisis, the number of people requiring aid has increased to nearlyhalf of the total population. This crisis put some parts of the country on the vergeof famine in 2017. This threat continues to linger, particularly in Northern Bahrel Ghazal and Warrap states, which suffer from a high prevalence of foodinsecurity and malnutrition. In response, the project put into practice a seriesof rehabilitation and development interventions aimed at supporting livelihooddevelopment for agropastoralists in both states.
