Synopsis (short abstract) Climate extremes, conflict and a poor economic environment continue to drive humanitarian needs in South Sudan, where over half of the population is acutely food insecure. Around 95 percent of South Sudanese have agriculture‑based livelihoods. Poor agropastoral families struggle with low production, low income and too few assets to sustain themselves. They urgently need agricultural support to restore their food security. This document provides an overview of FAO's component of the 2023 Humanitarian Response Plan for South Sudan. FAO requires USD 65 million to assist over 6 million people in South Sudan in 2023.

    Humanitarian needs in South Sudan are expected to reach a record high this year. Amid a complex emergency that has displaced millions and destroyed livelihoods, more than half the population will be acutely food insecure during the lean season from April to June. Almost 80 000 people are likely to face catastrophic levels of food insecurity, meaning that food is almost completely inaccessible and they cannot meet basic needs. In a country where 9 in 10 people depend on agriculture, supporting livelihoods is vital and cost-effective. For example, with a USD 55 crop production kit, a family can grow and harvest a nutritious variety of food to last them over five months. This document provides an overview of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations' (FAO) component of the 2024 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan for South Sudan. FAO requires USD 60 million to assist 3.9 million people.

    One in two people in South Sudan will experience food insecurity during the country’s lean season (April–July). Climate shocks, conflict and insecurity, economic downturn and the spillover effects of the conflict in the Sudan are the key drivers of this crisis.Emergency agricultural assistance is vital to enable people to immediately access nutritious food while strengthening their livelihoods in the medium to long term. With a livelihood kit, a farming household can produce enough food to last nearly half a year, over and above their other sources of food.

    South Sudan is facing one of the worst food security and nutrition crises globally. Almost 63 percent of the population is likely to be in acute food insecurity, of whom 87 000 people facing extreme hunger with no or limited coping mechanisms. Such high numbers have not been seen in years in South Sudan. Urgent and sustained multisectoral humanitarian support must be provided to save lives, prevent famine and re‑establish livelihoods in time for the next harvest season. This document provides an overview of FAO's component of the 2022 Humanitarian Response Plan for South Sudan.
