ACTED’s intervention will (1) boost local production and value chains through infrastructure by building up productive infrastructure to commercialise agricultural production and ultimately increase the availability of food for the local markets as well as exports, through storage and processing facilities, roads, and supporting cooperatives; (2) invest in local businesses and cooperatives and facilitate market linkages through capacity building and training, investment grants, and establishing market linkages between producers, businesses, retailers and transporters across Yambio, Maridi and Juba, to promote and increase trade and commerce between these productive areas; and (3) build capacity for local institutions to be able to provide and maintain services and infrastructure to the community.
