Sharing lessons learned on how to build resilience to food insecurity & other shocks in #SouthSudan, by including local officials, community leaders, women, people with disabilities & youth to prioritize local needs & plan for a more resilient future.ss.usembassy.gov/usaid-shares-l #SSOT

USAID held an event in Juba on March 16 to share lessons learned on a new approach to working with communities to build resilience to food insecurity and other shocks in South Sudan. USAID’s Policy LINK activity over the last three years piloted community-driven ways to build resilience in Wau and Jur River Counties (Western Bahr al Ghazal State), Budi and Kapoeta North Counties (Eastern Equatoria State), and Akobo County (Jonglei State), which brought together local officials, community leaders, women, people with disabilities, and youth representatives to prioritize local needs and plan for a more resilient future—thus supporting communities to guide government and donor development initiatives.
