Food Security & Livelihood
Building resilient communities through sustainable agriculture and economic empowerment
Program Overview
Our focus is on both distribution and activities targeting communities' resilience capacity. Food security and livelihoods projects are implemented in both conflict-affected states and more stable areas across the country.
Immediate Relief
Through three rapid response teams, we distribute food to people in extreme need while piloting mixed basket programs in more stable areas.
Long-Term Solutions
We implement projects with long-term focus in Greater Upper Nile, including livelihood diversification, market linkages, and capacity building.
