The Resilience through Agriculture in South Sudan (RASS) is a four-year United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID)-funded Activity aimed at improving food security and community household recovery and resilience in up to 17 counties in Western Bahr El Ghazal, Unity, Upper Nile, Jonglei, Eastern Equatoria, Lakes, and Western Equatoria States. To achieve this ambitious goal, RASS employs a “resilience pathways” approach to improve the effectiveness of local systems; and strengthen the capacities of community groups to achieve gender-responsive and diversified market-sensitive agriculture production; facilitate increased production of diverse nutritious foods by strengthening productivity, reducing food loss, improving nutrition behaviours; and strengthen and expand household and community opportunities for sustainable, locally driven livelihoods. The work aims at improving food security and community household recovery and resilience in the counties, targeting at least 22,500 program participants. This work aims at transitioning communities from humanitarian assistance to inclusive development assistance (DA) and economic growth.
