An FAO office was opened in Juba in 2006, and South Sudan officially joined FAO in June 2013. Since the outbreak of conflict in December 2013, FAO’s Emergency Livelihood Response Programme has been providing emergency food security support to affected populations and concurrently working to build the resilience of households and communities.

    Years of conflict and significant economic deterioration have left South Sudan in the grip of serious food insecurity, with women and children the most vulnerable. Despite the recent peace agreement, extreme levels of acute food insecurity are expected to persist in areas of continued conflict and poor harvests, calling for immediate and unhindered food assistance and careful monitoring. For 2019, FAO requires USD 75 million to assist 4.8 million people to protect their livelihoods and increase their resilience to shocks.

    Understanding the distribution of different land cover classes, as revealed by the updated Land Cover Atlas, holds paramount importance and is an innovative approach in helping to understand land cover dynamics. It enables decision-makers to harness this knowledge for strategic planning and informed decision-making in sectors such as agriculture, conservation, water resource management, and land degradation prevention. By recognizing the distribution and dynamics of land cover, stakeholders can work towards sustainable development goals, ecological resilience, and improved livelihoods in South Sudan. The development and utilization of the Land Cover Atlas highlight the significance of innovation, collaboration, and partnerships in decision-making processes and land cover management. By fostering collaborative efforts between organizations like the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Government of South Sudan, and supportive donors, a comprehensive understanding of land dynamics can be achieved. This collaborative approach enables stakeholders to work together towards effective resource management, resilience-building, and sustainable development, benefiting the people and environment of South Sudan.

    This brochure represents a simplified and introductory version of the more detailed publication: "Land Cover Atlas of the Republic of South Sudan". Understanding natural resources' utilization, distribution, temporal variations, and human activities is crucial for sustainable land management, especially in areas facing long-standing crises and significant environmental challenges. The competition for natural resources such as water, grassland, and wood among various stakeholders with diverse visions and interests is not only responsible for land degradation but also often a key driver of tensions and violent conflicts. Therefore, obtaining this fundamental information is imperative for promoting sustainable land use and mitigating the negative impacts of resource competition.
