Food Security, Livelihoods And Peace Building

Food security situation in South Sudan continues to deteriorate due to conflict-driven displacement, low
crop production, economic crisis, climatic shocks and humanitarian access challenge. Nile Hope has a
variety of projects in partnership with Dan Church Aid, German Federal Foreign Office (Auswärtiges Amt

of Jonglei, Upper Nile and Unity States.
