Happy Independence Day #SouthSudan

Just landed in Juba, #SouthSudan, with Cindy McCain & FAO Director-General QU Dongyu for a joint mission. Looking forward to seeing how our collaborative work can further protect fragile livelihoods, address #FoodInsecurity, and prevent future crises through scaled-up action.

Today Cindy McCain, FAO Director-General QU Dongyu and Alvaro Lario visited Aweil to see first hand how working together can change lives throughout an entire community in #SouthSudan They met with families benefiting from climate resilience activities as well as School Meals to hear stories of change

Thank you Aweil for the heart-warming welcome🇸🇸 I was inspired to see initiatives to bolster #FoodSecurity - vegetable gardens, wells, rice schemes, school meals - and to listen to communities. Creating livelihood opportunities is key to preserving peace! Cindy McCain FAO Director-General QU Dongyu

Visiting heads of Food and Agriculture Organization,International Fund for Agricultural Development & World Food Programme concluded their South Sudan visit meeting HE President Salva Kiir Mayardit The 3 agencies signed an MOU to scale-up their world-wide cooperation in working to build household resilience,prevent starvation & boost agricultural productivity

GREAT discussions on agri & food security as H. E. president Kirr hosted Food and Agriculture Organization Director General Qu Dongyu, Alvaro Lario Dr. Lario, & World Food Programme Executive Director Cindy McCain in Juba #SouthSudan.

🇸🇸 #SouthSudan’s food security is deteriorating due to localized conflict, displacement, and climate shocks. A new project by IFAD, UN Development & South Sudan Government aimed at boosting rural development will reach 160,000 people and help them increase income & strengthen resilience.

#SouthSudan, the world's youngest country, holds immense potential despite challenges like conflict. I underscored International Fund for Agricultural Development's commitment to improve rural livelihoods and protect peace by investing in rural development and #FoodSystems to President Salva Kiir Mayardit.
