The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) funded Resilience through Agriculture in South Sudan (RASS) Activity is a four-year Project led by prime Contractor, DAI Global, LLC. and three sub-contractors: CARE International, International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC), and The Waterfield Design Group, Inc. (WDG). The RASS Project’s objective is to improve food security and community household recovery and resilience in 17 counties in Western Bahr el Ghazal, Unity, Upper Nile, Jonglei, Eastern Equatoria, Western Equatoria, and Lakes States in line with USAID strategic partnership framework with the Republic of South Sudan. To achieve this goal, RASS Project employs a “resilience pathways” approach (i) to improve the effectiveness of local systems and strengthen the capacities of community groups to achieve gender responsive and diversified food and market-sensitive agriculture; (ii) increase availability, access to, and use of diverse, safe, and affordable diets; and (ii) expand opportunities for sustainable, locally driven livelihoods.
The RASS Project will work closely with other United States Government funded projects as well as collaborate with other development partners, NGOs, and local organizations to ensure maximum benefit to the communities and minimal duplication of assistance.
