SNV returns to South Sudan to strengthen capacities and forge meaningful partnerships that transform agri-food, energy, and water sectors, paving the way for sustainable and equitable lives for everyone. After a six-year break due to the 2013 and 2016 crises, which temporarily halted our work, we are back with global expertise in the Humanitarian-Development Nexus and a history of impactful programmes.
Our journey in South Sudan began in 2005 after the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. From 2005 to 2016, our programmes inspired significant change in governance, agriculture, livelihoods, community development, and infrastructure.
Highlighted programmes
(2005-2016)
South Sudan livelihoods development (SSLDP): Promoted market-oriented agricultural production and enhanced food security in the Magwi area of Eastern Equatoria State, with IFAD and Dutch funding.
Sustainable sanitation & hygiene for all (SSH4A-RP): Improved sanitation and hygiene and impacted thousands of lives in Northern Bahr El Gazal with UK-DFID funding.
Producing for urban markets – fisheries: Empowered fisherfolk and market vendors by strengthening the value chain in Terekeka and Juba with EU support.
Development of gum arabic value chain: Advanced the gum arabic sector since 2008, contributing to livelihoods, export revenue, and sustainable land use.
Our renewed commitment
SNV’s return marks renewed dedication to equitable and sustainable development. In 2025, operations will start in Torit, Yambio, and Juba under the PCAV GIZ/SNV EU-funded project, focusing on climate-resilient value chains and local capacity building.
Our return to South Sudan marks not just a continuation of previous efforts but the start of a bold new chapter. We are eager to collaborate with government leaders, development partners, private sector stakeholders, and local communities to foster a South Sudan that thrives.
