This report seeks to support the larger
jobs study by examining how investment in South Sudan’s food
sector can not only address food security needs, it can
generate income and lay the foundation for livelihood and
job creation in the country. It argues that applying a value
chain lens to investments in the sector can contribute to
creating direct, indirect, and induced labor in the food
system. The goal is to move the country from a dependency on
humanitarian aid to building recovery and resilience in the
short term in a way that can produce stable jobs over the
medium to long term. More specifically, it looks at the
potential technology and organizational arrangements that
investment programs can start supporting now to stimulate
value chain development for increased economic activity and
job creation. The assumption is that significant donor
support will still be necessary for the short to medium term
to support investments in reconstruction and food security.
As security spreads, public sector capacity to support
development can grow, private actors can establish or expand
their operations, and the donor community can begin to
disengage, addressing only the neediest communities while
development organizations continue to work with the public
and private sector actors to support development and
economic transformation. |
