Promoting climate-resilient agriculture and value chains in South Sudan (PCAV)

About this project

<p>The Action will target smallholder farming households in six counties of South Sudan: Yambio and Nzara in Western Equatoria State; Juba in Central Equatoria State; Torit in Eastern Equa-toria State; and Wau and Jur River in Western Bahr El Ghazal State. In addition, it targets agro-based micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) involved in primary production, downstream processing, input supply and trade along the selected VCs, with a particular focus on youth and women. Agricultural cooperatives and other farmer-based organisations (FBOs), including women's and youth groups in the intervention areas, are also part of the target group. Intermediaries include, among others, agricultural experts and advisors in subnational administrations, in the private sector, in farmer associations as well as lead farmers, to effectively provide agricultural services for climate-resilient production and nutrition-sensitive VC development. The pre-selected value chains, to be determined and finalized in the inception phase, are the following: cereals (sorghum, maize, rice, etc), horticulture, NFTP (honey, gum Arabic, shea butter,), industrial crops (sesame, groundnuts, etc).</p>
