Book (stand-alone)South Sudan: The impact of conflict on food security and livelihoods
DIEM-Impact report, January 2024
2024Also available in:
No results found.Food insecurity in South Sudan is driven by cascading shocks including conflict and insecurity, macro-economic crisis caused by the depreciation of the local currency, high inflation, conflict in the Sudan, climatic shocks (floods and dry spells), climate- and conflict-induced population displacement, persistent low agricultural production levels, and the cumulative effects of prolonged years of asset depletion that continue to erode the coping capacities of households and the loss of livelihoods. This DIEM-Impact assessment adopted qualitative research approaches and enabled an understanding of experiences, attitudes, behaviours and interactions in relation to conflict and food insecurity, and the impacts of floods in locations where they have been prevalent.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) established Data in Emergencies Impact (DIEM-Impact) to provide a granular and rapid understanding of the impact of large-scale hazards on agriculture and agricultural livelihoods using a variety of assessment methodologies, including primary and secondary information, remote sensing technologies, and FAO’s damage and loss methodology. DIEM-Impact presents a regularly updated and accessible state of food insecurity in fragile environments and helps underpin FAO's programming based on evidence. -
NewsletterFAO/AFIS South Sudan Crop Watch-September 2015 2015

No results found.Production estimates for recently harvested first season are favorable in Central and Western Equatoria states, while below average production has been obtained in most agro-pastoral areas of Eastern Equatoria state that have been affected by scarce and erratic rains. In June, civil insecurity in some eastern counties of Western Equatoria caused displacement of farmers with significant reduction in area planted and yields of first season crops. In Greater Bahr El Ghazal region, production prospe cts of short and long-cycle crops (to be harvested from September to December) are generally favorable, despite the late start of the rainy season and some dry spells. A prolonged dry spell in August severely affected late planted crops in Bor South and Pibor counties in southern Jonglei state. Generally favorable rains at the beginning of September are supporting planting operations of second season crops in Greater Equatoria region. In most conflict-affected counties of Greater Upper Nile regi on, the extent of planted area has severely been affected by worsening security conditions and massive displacement and production is expected to be minimal. -
