Fighting food insecurity in South Sudan with access to finance
Format
With the support of the Netherlands Embassy in South Sudan, a Cordaid-led consortium supports thousands of farmers and their agribusinesses in Yambio, Torit, and Bor counties. This is creating jobs and reduces food insecurity. Two entrepreneurs share their stories.
The five-year Food Security through Agribusiness in South Sudan project (FSABSS), which started in August 2018, is funded by the Kingdom of the Netherlands Embassy in South Sudan. With a budget of 10 million euros, its final goal is to support 10,000 farmers, one thousand start-up agribusinesses led by women and young entrepreneurs, and 750 established medium and small enterprises.
