Descripción
Since the outbreak of civil war and the country’s independence in 2011,South Sudan has faced a number of significant challenges, including widespreadpoverty, skewed distribution of income and the inadequate delivery of socialservices. These have slowed the progress of food security initiatives and therecovery and rehabilitation of the country’s agriculture sector. Livestock playsan important role in the livelihoods of agropastoralist groups. The subsector’sfull potential is not realized, however, in large part as a result of the conflictbeing played out in the country and the resulting instability. Other highlyproblematic elements include disease outbreaks, limited infrastructure andpoorly organized and informed herders, who lack the means to generate addedvalue to dairy production. Within three counties of Lakes State, the projecttherefore aimed to support the increase in productivity and to improveresilience to disasters among agropastoral communities, in an effortto contribute to the country’s improved food and nutrition security in the longterm.
