Resumen
Descripción
Years of conflict, chronic vulnerabilities and weak essential services have deteriorated the food security and livelihood situation in South Sudan. Now, the COVID-19 outbreak threatens to paralyze an already fragile food system and negatively impact more than 6.5 million people who remain vulnerable. With limited core national capacities to prevent, prepare for and respond to public health events and a weakened healthcare system, a slow-down or reduction in humanitarian assistance could be catastrophic. It is therefore critical to rapidly mobilize and pre-empt COVID-19 impacts on food security and livelihoods in South Sudan. This document outlines FAO’s aim to (i) maintain and secure existing critical humanitarian operations, while ensuring (ii) anticipatory actions are in place to safeguard livelihoods and protect the critical food supply chain as a means to mitigate the secondary effects of the pandemic.
