ACTED is keeping a close eye on current tension in Jonglei State, South Sudan, notably in the north, in Akobo county, which has seen massive population displacements. The displaced have limited access to food sources, and the already deprived host communities are now facing additional pressure on their food stocks.

ACTED’s objective is to support these communities by enabling access to subsidies during the food gap period, before the next harvest, from August to October. Cash for work activities will help the most vulnerable households benefit from an income, that will help them provide food for their families.
