Synopsis (short abstract) An FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission (CFSAM) visited South Sudan from 30 November to 12 December 2016 to estimate cereal production during 2016 and assess the overall food security situation. The CFSAM reviewed the findings of several crop assessment missions conducted at planting and harvest time in the different agro-ecological zones of the country from May to December 2016. As during 2014 and 2015, all assessment missions were carried out by a Task Force team that comprised s taff from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Cooperatives and Rural Development (MAFCRD), the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and FAO. Task Force team members have been trained during the last years to conduct rapid assessments using established protocols and techniques, such as driving and walking transects, scoring standing crops according to yield and livestock according to body condition, perform key informant interviews and farmer case studies. In addition, supported by the FAO AFIS project, twenty County Crop Monitoring Committees (CCMC) have been formed in 2016, with a view to extending the responsibility of collecting more objective data at local level.

    Crop production: Production of wheat and barley slightly improved in 2017 compared to previous year due better rainfall and improved access to agricultural land in some areas. Livestock: Over the past two years, the herd sizes have stabilized albeit at a very low level. Displacement: About two in five people are on the move inside the country. Humanitarian access: Overall, there is an improvement in terms of humanitarian access compared to last year with some of the “besieged areas” now consider ed “hard-to-reach”. Markets: Due to the overall improved security situation and opening of supply routes, trade is slowly recovering throughout the country and urban markets appear to function well. Livelihood trends: With relatively improving trends in access and market functionality, livelihood opportunities in the formal and informal sector have slightly improved compared to the previous year. Food consumption and dietary diversity: Over 30 percent of households has a diet characterised by p oor quality and quantity. Coping strategies: Syrians apply a high degree of food coping strategies which is a signal of the stress they are facing because of food shortage. Food assistance needs: Based on the available data, the mission estimates that 6.9 million Syrians are food insecure in terms of current consumption.

    Rapport spécial - Mission conjointe FAO/PAM d’évaluation des récoltes et de la sécurité alimentaire (CFSAM) de 2021 en République du Soudan du Sud, 9 juin 2022 - Extraits 2022
    Also available in:
    Une mission conjointe FAO/PAM d’évaluation des récoltes et de la sécurité alimentaire (CFSAM) a été réalisée du 7 au 17 décembre 2021 pour estimer la production céréalière de 2021 au Soudan du Sud et évaluer la situation globale de la sécurité alimentaire dans le pays. La CFSAM a examiné les conclusions de plusieurs missions d’évaluation des récoltes effectuées au moment des semis et des récoltes, entre juin et décembre 2021 dans différentes zones agroécologiques du pays. Toutes les missions ont été effectuées par un Groupe de travail agricole composé de fonctionnaires du Ministère de l’agriculture et de la sécurité alimentaire (MASA), du Bureau national de la statistique (BNS), de la FAO et des ministères de l’agriculture des différents États, dans le respect des protocoles sanitaires mis en place pour éviter la propagation de la covid-19. Les membres du Groupe de travail ont été formés ces dernières années pour mener des évaluations rapides en utilisant des techniques, des outils et des protocoles établis pour la CFSAM, y compris des visites de terrain à pied, la notation des cultures sur pied selon leurs niveaux de rendement et du bétail en fonction de leur état physique à l’aide de l’outil PET (Pictorial Evaluation Tool), la réalisation d’entretiens avec des informateurs clés et des études de cas d’agriculteurs.
