JUBA – South Sudan’s environment ministry, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and World Vision launched a $33 million project on Wednesday to improve climate resilience in agro-pastoral communities.

The five-year project worth $33 million will increase the resilience of communities affected by climate change in the country.

This initiative will impact 75,000 people, enhancing their capacity to manage and withstand the adverse effects of climate change in Aweil Center and Aweil East of Northern Bahr el Ghazal State.

It will also restore over 15,000 hectares of land.

Speaking during project launch in Juba on Wednesday, Josephine Napwon Cosmos, Minister of Environment and Forestry said the Ministry has developed climate change strategies and projects to mitigate and adapt to the impact of climate change.

“The project will introduce smart-agriculture strategies to the people to increase their agricultural production and enhance their livelihood, we hope to replicate and scale up this project to other states when funds are required,” said Napwon.

For his part, Dr. Mesfin Lola, Country Director for World Vision in South Sudan said the project will build the resilience of the vulnerable communities to climate change impacts while restoring the ecosystem.

“We are confident that together, we can ensure that this project achieves its intended purpose of building resilience among vulnerable people in agro-pastoral communities,” said Lola.

Titus Osundina, UNDP Deputy Resident Representative, reiterated their commitment to work actively with the government to safeguard the ecosystem, and mitigate climate change impact in the country.

This project emphasizes the urgency of addressing climate change, which presents significant changes to societies, ecosystems, and economies globally impacting agriculture, water resources, health, infrastructure and livelihoods,” Osundina said.
