Rome, 17 May 2021: The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) will provide much needed funding to assist 23,900 vulnerable rural people (4,780 households) in the Republic of South Sudan. The IFAD grant will help reduce the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their farming activities and safeguard their livelihoods.
South Sudan is the youngest African nation and the third most fragile nation in the world. Food availability and access remain a challenge for most of the population due to the country’s prolonged conflict, disruption of agricultural value chains and displacement of people. The COVID-19 pandemic therefore poses a serious threat to an already fragile situation, especially in regard to food and nutrition security.
