Support on an Enabling Environment for Elections in South Sudan The action aims to support a peaceful and enabling environment for inclusive and transparent democratic processes to take place. The action is aligned with the broader objectives of the government¿s National Development Strategy and the Revitalised Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan (R-ARCSS), which envisages elections reflecting the will of the people as a key and final component of the peace agreement. As an integral part of the peace process, the hope of forthcoming elections is not only to elect legitimate political leaders, but also to consolidate peace. A technically acceptable election may be necessary but is in itself not enough, without an environment that fosters trust and acceptance of election results and that enables citizens to participate in a meaningful way. This requires a holistic approach that fuses areas of respect for human rights, equality and inclusiveness of participation, access to information, appropriate legislative frameworks and independent institutions, political consensus and security, to create conducive context in which the electoral process can take place. The project will therefore connect with the multilateral partners (in particular UNDP and UNMISS) and with national actors to achieve its objectives through fostering a more enabling environment for the elections, and strengthening the institutions to conduct the electoral process itself.The action results are structured around three inter-related outcomes: 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To strengthen institutional, legal and normative framework for transparent, inclusive and credible elections.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To enhance electoral and political rights and citizens¿ access to information.3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To increase inclusion and participation of underrepresented groups in democratic processes, with a special focus on women and youth.This is aligned with the EU Multiannual Indicative Programme (MIP) for South Sudan (2021-2027) priority area 3 ¿Good governance, peace and the rule of law for a fairer society¿ and are directly contributing to its objectives to contribute to the peace and reconciliation, to strengthen the rule of law and promote human rights with a focus on women and girls, to improve/increase the capacity of public sector institutions, management transparency and accountability, and to increase inclusive public participation, in particular of women and youth. The action will deliver activities in the sector of Government &amp; Civil Society (DAC Sector 150) and will directly contribute to strengthen SDG 16 "peace, justice and strong institutions" as well as SDG 5 ¿Gender equality¿ and SDG 10 ¿Reducing Inequality¿.

Expansion of Rural Agricultural Inputs Supply and Extension Services (E-RAISE) The Action aims to increase agricultural productivity, incomes, and output marketing channels of rural smallholder producers in the former Lakes State. To increase agricultural productivity this action will implement integrated strategies that increase availability and access of locally produced certified seed of high performing varieties of sorghum, groundnuts and cowpeas as well as improved tools, focusing mainly on ox-drawn implements. The action will also focus on increasing the number of rural enterprises (agro-dealers) selling agricultural inputs to reach smallholder farmers, especially those in remote areas. A farmer demand-driven agricultural extension system will be put in place to increase farmers knowledge and practice for more effective utilization of improved agricultural inputs. To capitalize on productivity gains arising from investments made in increasing smallholder producers access to improved agricultural inputs, this action will strengthen post-harvest management and market linkages focusing on farmers and fisherfolk. This will in turn result in higher incomes from increased quantities of produce marketed due to reduced post-harvest losses and linkage to markets.

To achieve this result, this action will alleviate the multiple constraints faced by smallholder producers in (ii) expanding uptake of improved agro-inputs; (ii) reducing post- harvest losses; and (iii) improving their market efficiency within targeted value chains. In its focus to address these constraints hindering increased productivity and incomes of smallholder producers, this action will have four components that are complementary and reinforcing
