Synopsis (short abstract) The situation in South Sudan has proven to be unpredictable and volatile. New hotspots of violent conflict and civil unrest have continued to emerge and levels of severe acute food insecurity have become progressively worse. In addition to years of fighting and political instability, the country faces natural hazards, disease and pests, such as the desert locust, and the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Collectively, these risks have had and continue to have a catastrophic impact on the lives and livelihoods of South Sudanese, the majority of whom rely on agriculture, livestock, forestry and fisheries as their main source of income. To respond to humanitarian needs, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has launched the latest iteration of its Emergency Livelihood Response Programme (ELRP) in South Sudan, which was first introduced in early 2014. The document presents the multiyear Programme for 2021–2023 and outlines how FAO aims to save lives, to enhance households' livelihoods and own food production, and to improve their resilience to future shocks. FAO revises its strategy each year to address the ever-emerging challenges facing food security and agriculture, integrate lessons learned and adapt modalities to the prevailing situation.

    On 15 April 2023, an armed conflict erupted between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces in the Sudanese capital Khartoum. Over four months since fighting began, the conflict has since spilled over into the Darfur region and parts of Kordofan and Blue Nile states, reigniting intercommunal violence and causing widespread displacement. Fighting continues to jeopardize the food security and nutrition of millions of people, worsening a highly fragile ecosystem. In response, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) scaled up its response actions and launched a 12-month Emergency Livelihood Response Plan (ELRP). The ELRP, to be implemented from September 2023 to August 2024, requires urgent funding to reach 10.1 million farmers, herders and fishers with vital livelihoods support. This includes distributing emergency seeds, providing livestock, veterinary and fisheries support, and enhancing the adoption of good agricultural practices. The ELRP aims to mitigate the impact of the recent conflict on vulnerable people, address their immedate needs, and enhance their ability to recover and strengthen their resilience. Agriculture remains a lifeline in the Sudan.

    Humanitarian needs in South Sudan are at the highest levels seen in recent years. The outbreak of conflict between Government and Opposition forces in July 2016 brought implementation of the peace agreement to a standstill, exacerbated the financial crisis and compounded already alarming levels of food insecurity. The evacuation of international staff and widespread lootings of potentially lifesaving goods, including the near-total looting of FAO and World Food Programme (WFP) warehouses in Juba , as well as ongoing fighting pose a logistical challenge to the delivery of aid. In this context, FAO has revised its priorities and thus funding needs for the ongoing programme in South Sudan, which are clearly laid out in this document.

    In 2018, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in South Sudan must respond to the highest levels of food insecurity ever recorded in the country. To address this challenge, FAO revised its multiyear Emergency Livelihood Response Programme (ELRP) to enable rapid food production among the most vulnerable communities, protect their livelihoods and reduce dependency on humanitarian aid while building their resilience. This year, FAO aims to reach at least 800 000 food insecure households through emergency livelihood support and resilience-building activities. Priority will be given to the most vulnerable, including women-headed households, internally displaced persons, returnees and host communities, and programming will take into account the specific needs of women and youth, who will represent at least 60 percent of FAO’s beneficiaries in 2018.
