Since 2021, NEF has supported conflict, displacement, and climate change-affected communities in South Sudan to improve food security and self-sufficiency through agricultural production as well as health and wellbeing through community-led initiatives in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). In Lakes State, NEF is launching a project to localise the supply chain for essential agricultural and fishing inputs. The project aims to support local production of agricultural tools for immediate markets; and support vulnerable households to procure tools for crop production.
NEF seeks a local consultant to work closely with its staff to conduct market analysis targeting 4 payams in Rumbek County, Lakes State. The analysis will present NEF with a demographic profile of households engaged in agriculture and fishing and describe the characteristics of the livelihoods of households. Specifically, the study will provide information on access to inputs, access to markets and access to finance for these populations. Further, the report will elaborate on key constraints related to access to inputs, markets and finance and conclude with practical, concrete, and holistic recommendations for market-based interventions to localize the supply chain for essential agricultural and fishing tools.
