Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
2020Also available in:
No results found.Despite a period of relative stability since the signing of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan (R-ARCSS) in September 2018, more than 6.5 million people are experiencing acute food insecurity at crisis or worse levels across the country (Integrated Food Security Phase Classification [IPC], January 2020). This is due to the cumulative effects of years of conflict and asset depletion, low crop production, climatic and economic shocks, limited access to basic services and the resultant increase in vulnerability and reduction in resilience. Almost 4 million people remain displaced, both internally and as refugees in neighbouring countries. This situation is exacerbated by COVID-19, which has indirectly disrupted food availability and increased food prices, as well as the surging and re-surging desert locust outbreak in the Horn of Africa, all of which are threatening the already fragile food security and nutrition situation in South Sudan. In the framework of FAO’s Corporate COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme and the United Nations Global Humanitarian Response Plan for COVID-19, FAO has revised its humanitarian response for 2020 to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and address the needs of the most vulnerable households. -

Mitigating the effects of COVID-19 to protect food security and livelihoods
2020Also available in:
No results found.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.
