The four model projects are: (1) Aweil Irrigation Rehabilitation Project (Eur 5.7M), (2) Tambura-Wau Market Access (Eur 6M), (3) Bahr el Ghazal Livestock Marketing Project (Eur 5.3M), and (4) Nyal-Shambe- Terekaka Fisheries Production and Marketing Project (Eur 4.9M). The EC-Funded Project (Eur 20 Million national, over 5 years) aims to develop an integrated food security, vulnerability and market information system. SIFSIA is supplying data for the Food Security Council (key members include MoFEP, MAF, MARF and MAARIs) to pass decisions regarding policies and actions that should reduce food insecurity in Southern Sudan. The Project will be implemented by the Southern Sudan Centre for Census, Statistics and Evaluation (SSCCSE), with FAO support. It will report to a Food Security Council. Project Activities are grouped into 3 Main Components: 1/ Food security policy and planning making systems component: establishment of a Food Security Council, each composed by a Technical Secretariat and four technical sections; and capacity building through mainly ‘on the job’ training. 2/ Baselines and information systems component: a ‘Household food consumption and welfare survey’, and establishment of three information systems: agricultural and livestock market information system; agricultural production monitoring and forecast system; and natural resources monitoring and mapping system. 3/ Food security research and capacity building fund: finance small scale interventions in food insecure areas. Objectives included linking recovery and development with the adoption of a participatory approach, sustainability in the capacity building of local Gvt agencies, ensuring synergies with other donors. Approach: clear linkages between project and local development plans. Every year, as part of its emergency operations, FAO procures and distributes seeds and tools through its network of NGOs. 1. food security policy and planning 2. Baselines and information systems 3.
