No results found.In South Sudan, livestock is a major contributor to food and nutrition security, with more than 65 per cent of the population relying on it for their livelihoods. The livestock sector has been severely affected by flooding since 2019. According to a recent Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) assessment, the 2021 floods affected an estimated 10.1 million animals in different states, resulting in 795 000 animal deaths, especially small ruminants (sheep and goats) which are typically owned by poorer and more vulnerable households. The worst affected states were Unity, Jonglei and Upper Nile where 13.7 percent, 10.7 percent, and 7.6 percent of affected animals died respectively. In addition, the floods created conditions conducive to the outbreak of animal diseases, including zoonotic diseases (which can affect both animals and humans) such as Rift Valley Fever. For example, in the Greater Bahr El Ghazal region, increased cases of lumpy skin disease (LSD), haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) and contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) in cattle, pest of small ruminants (PPR) and footrot in small ruminants were reported. As a result, and due to animal deaths and reduced livestock production and productivity, the floods affected livelihoods, food security and nutrition. -
