    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).

    Mapping territorial markets in Western Bahr el Ghazal state and Eastern Equatoria state, South Sudan
    Summary report

    Smallholder farmers are responsible for most of the food consumed in the world, as well as most of the investments made in agriculture. They operate largely in a range of local and national markets that are embedded in territorial food systems, also known as “territorial markets”. From a consumer perspective, these markets serve as key retail outlets for access to the foods needed for healthy diets, in particular fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, meat and staple foods. Despite their importance however, data concerning territorial markets – such as the availability of food groups, food retailers and consumer profiles – are not often included in national data collection systems. As a result, they are often neglected in strategies aimed at improving nutrition, reducing poverty and fostering local economies. This booklet presents data and results from the mapping territorial markets in Western Bahr el Ghazal state and Eastern Equatoria state, South Sudan.

    The Republic of South Sudan is among the landlocked counties in Eastern Africa with an estimated $12.81 billion GDP and a population index of approximately 12.5 million people. This ESIA report covers a sub-project construction activity for the rehabilitation of a 15km road in Aweil Rice Irrigation scheme. The sub-activity is under the Building Resilience for Food and Nutrition Security in the Horn of Africa (BREFONS) funded the African Development Bank being implemented in two States, the Eastern Equatorial State and Norther El Bhal Ghazal states. The total rehabilitation cost for the construction of the 15km road is 497,400.00 USD that will be undertaken in two months. In accordance with the Environment and Social Framework (ESF) compliance commitment agreement and in alignment with the project's Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF), all proposed subprojects must undergo an environmental and social screening process. This process is aimed at assessing the environmental and social risks associated with the proposed subprojects and determining the appropriate risk management strategies to be implemented. Further environmental and social monitoring plan has been established to monitor implementation of the activities in the ESIA.
