Synopsis (short abstract)
South Sudan’s livestock sector operates in a context of localized conflict, economic decline and high climate vulnerability. With most rural households depending on livestock and agriculture for food and income, strengthening the livestock sector’s resilience is critical for food security, income generation and stability. In response, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Government of South Sudan and partners are implementing the “Resilient Livestock Sector Project”. Funded through a USD 40 million contribution from the World Bank, through the Government of South Sudan, the project aims to enhance animal health, improve rangeland management and strengthen the resilience of livestock production.
