The FONA project thereby aims to ensure increased agricultural production that persists the effects of climate change and recurring hazards, so that it invests in improved management of natural resources and disaster risks. Following a catchment-based approach, natural resource management committees shall be established and measures for the improved natural resource management in the catchment areas will be implemented.
The objective of the CDRD project is the improved development of rural areas through the implementation of community-based, income-generating, risk-informed measures. In addition, local, agriculture-based micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) shall be supported.
Target groups are the rural population with a focus on agricultural households in communities within the counties of Yei (Central Equatoria) and Magwi (Eastern Equatoria) as well as smallholder households with a focus on women and young children in the counties Aweil Center and Aweil West (Northern Bar el Ghazal), and Yambio and Nzara (Western Equatoria).
