Improved Food Security and Livelihood Development for Agro-pastoral Communities in Northern Bahr-el-Ghazal and Warrap States

01.09.2013 - 28.02.2018

Improving capacities of farmers and government to face such challenges is crucial. The main objective of this project is to increase the resilience (food security, livelihoods and income) of at least 7’000 households/50’000 people, and to improve community stability for vulnerable but economically active agro-pastoralists in Northern Bahr-el-Ghazal and Warrap States.

La DSC finanzia dunque un progetto di mappatura delle foreste per favorire un utilizzo sostenibile del legno nel Sudan del Sud.
