2.0 Overview of the Project
In South Sudan, Christian Aid works to bring lasting change to the lives of the poorest conflict affected communities. We are currently in the inception phase of a new UK Aid funded nutrition project in Aweil North and Jur River counties. The project aims to contribute to improved nutrition outcomes for women and girls of child bearing age and children under five years, by using an inclusive and integrated nutrition sensitive approach that promotes individual, household and community resilience to the risks of undernutrition. This will be achieved through multi sectoral linkages, increased integration through implementation of strategies to address underlying causes of undernutrition, empowering women, girls, men and their households to improve their household nutrition and care practices, access to diverse nutritious food, safe water and sanitation, health services, and overcome gender and social norms barriers. The project will also strengthen capacity of the 2 county nutrition departments to improve coordination and delivery of nutrition services.
