Synopsis (short abstract) Climate Resilient Agri-Food system Transformation (CRAFT) Project is a government initiative presented during the ‘High-Level Summit on Feed Africa: Food Sovereignty and Resilience’. In Dakar, Senegal. The Project is aligned to the sustainable development goals (SDGs): SDG1 (no poverty), SDG2 (zero hunger), SDG 4 (education, technical and vocation skills for decent jobs), SDG 5 (gender equality), SDG 8 (productive employment), and, SDG 13 (climate action). It is also aligned to the African Union’s (AU) Agenda 2063 for a Prosperous Africa, based on Inclusive Growth and Sustainable Development. The project is also aligned with the Bank’s Interim-Country Strategy Paper (I-CSP, 2022-24) for South Sudan. The initiative aims to provide an enabling environment for a diversified and resilient socio-economic development, reducing fragility and meeting the Interim Country Strategy Paper (I-CSP) single priority objective - Agriculture value chains development for economic diversification and resilience, thus expected to: increase productivity; improve food and nutrition security; diversify the economy, create jobs and contribute to cross-cutting issues: climate resilience, green growth, gender inclusion and fragility. Therefore, it will transform agriculture and livestock sectors in south Sudan. The CRAFT project prioritizes and targets four (4) key staples, Rice, Sorghum, Sesame, and Fisheries, with enabling factors: food value chains; resilience through community-based approaches; sustainable agricultural production through Farmers Organizations; investing in transport, storage, infrastructure, and enhancing markets. The project is being designed to complement the Bank’s initiatives in value chain development in agriculture and other sectors such as energy, water, and sanitation. The Project is being prepared for financing by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and will be implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (MAFS) working in collaboration with agricultural organizations based in South Sudan such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
