Seeds of Hope
UNHCR and FAO join forces to help refugees and local communities in South Sudan improve their food security.
Although the country is mostly known for the millions of its citizens who are displaced by conflict, South Sudan is also host to over 250,000 refugees who have fled war in neighboring countries.
The vast majority are Sudanese from South Kordofan and Blue Nile states, with smaller numbers from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia and Central African Republic. UNHCR’s key priorities are improving the living conditions of refugees; providing better shelters for families; ensuring high standards in health care, education, water and hygiene; providing documentation such as refugee certificates and ID cards; and helping men and women who found refuge in South Sudan become more self-sufficient.
