South Sudan, Mercy Corps: Back to farming, Nhialdu

Progetto concluso

The Bentiu PoC was established in December 2013 with currently over 120’000 people living in the site At the beginning, people mainly came to the PoC seeking protection from violence, but since mid-2015 people’s main reason is to receive food due the chronic food insecurity situation in the area created by the conflict. The situation shows prospects for response and recovery interventions outside the Bentiu PoC.

Contesto

Since December 2013, the population in the Nhialdu Payam catchment area did not benefit from permanent humanitarian presence. For security reasons, people on the other hand could not cultivate There is a high risk of missing another cultivation season, for lack of agricultural inputs, while the number of exits from the Bentiu PoC site is increasing because of households’ preference to return home or resettle with the intention to cultivate.

Obiettivi

Increase food production, preservation and dietary diversity, and re-establish a humanitarian presence in Nhialdu Payam.

Gruppi target

1’000 vulnerable households.

Effetti a medio termine
