REDUCING MALNUTRITION IN SOUTH SUDAN

Published on 9 December 2021

South Sudan has some of the highest malnutrition rates in Sub-Saharan Africa*.
Since July 2018, we have taken a holistic approach to tackling malnutrition in
Aweil North and Jur River regions where few other agencies work.

Through our UK Aid Match programme, we aimed to improve both the awareness of
and access to basic nutrition. Three years on we have reached 67,455 women and
girls of childbearing age, and 37,265 children under five.

The project focused on the community working together to come up with solutions
to tackle malnutrition so that the impact will continue even after the project
ends.

We celebrate the successes and sustainability of the programme through their
pictures and stories.

THE TEA MAKER



Elizabeth preparing tea for her customers (Christian Aid/Silvano Yokwe)

Elizabeth Aweck Cham, 28, boils the kettle in her new tea shop to make tea for
her customers in Jur River County. Through her interaction with her local
village savings and loans association (VSLA) she has saved to open this new
business. Previously she admits that she did not have the skills or knowledge on
how to run a tea shop, but with support from our local partner, Hope Agency for
Relief and Development (HARD), she is now an active member of the VSLA and has
gained new skills.

Elizabeth receives her share from the VSLA committee (Christian Aid/Silvano
Yokwe)

As well as starting her new business, Elizabeth can save for emergencies in the
future. Her new income also means that she has money to support her 7-month-old
baby and purchase better foods for the family. Through our programme we
supported 2,250 households through village savings and loans schemes so that
they can better access nutritious food.


THE FARMER



Adut Anet Achen tends to her sorghum (Christian Aid/Silvano Yokwe)

Adut, 40, is a farmer in Warlang Village, Aweil North County. She now grows
sorghum, ground nuts and sesame.

Adut received training from our partner Support for Peace, Education,
Development Programme (SPEDP) to improve the quantity and quality of her crops.
This involved establishing ‘demonstration plots’, where community members can
see first-hand the impact of the improved agricultural practices. SPEDP also
provided her farmers group with seeds to cultivate. Farmers like Adut can now
better provide food for their families and have the means to pay for other
essentials.

With my farming activities, I am able to pay the school fees for my children,
buy clothes for them and also pay for their medical treatment.

- Adut Anet Achen.

Through our programme we supported 3,000 farming households.


THE TRADITIONAL BIRTH ATTENDANT



Abuog Buolla Ateny attends to a mother at Mbili Primary Health Care Unit,
Western Bahr El Ghazel (Christian Aid/Silvano Yokwe)

Abuog, 48, is a traditional birth attendant (TBA). After being trained and
better equipped to support pregnant women and breast-feeding mothers, she can
see real changes in her community.

The TBAs now encourage women to deliver at health facilities rather than at
home, to try to reduce the high maternal death rates that were experienced
previously. They also share information with women about the importance of
breast-feeding, especially when their children fall sick.

More pregnant women are now accessing the Primary Health Care Services than
before. The training we received is helping many mothers with the right health
information’

- Abuog Buolla.

Whilst UK Aid Match came to an end in October 2021, the TBAs will continue to
assist pregnant women and will escort them to health facilities when needed.


THE FISHERMEN

River (Christian Aid/Silvano Yokwe)

Mayar Chok Madut, 45, and Simon Agui Akot, 39, are fishermen in Jur River
County. They now use a smoker provided by our partner to preserve their fish.
They also received training on better fishing techniques.

Simon explains that the fishermen now sell some of their fish and use the money
to buy other nutritious foods for their families.  

Through our programme we supported 1,200 fishing households.


THE HYGIENE CLUB

them stands Deputy Head Teacher John Geng Bol (Christian Aid/Silvano Yokwe)

The establishment of the Hygiene Clubs in my school have kept the pupils healthy
and is also transferring the knowledge they acquired to their parents at home

- Deputy Head Teacher John Geng Bol.

Aker and Deng are hygiene club members cleaning at Marol Deng Geng Primary
School, Aweil North County.

The students now have the skills and knowledge to manage and promote hygiene in
the school environment. They share their knowledge about the importance of
maintaining good sanitation with their families. It is hoped that these groups
will continue to promote good hygiene practices in the community and schools in
the future.


THE NEW COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTRE



Richard Unguec stands in front of the newly constructed primary healthcare
facility built by the Nyikijo community (Christian Aid/Silvano Yokwe)

Richard Unguec explains how the the Nyikijo community came together to build a
new primary healthcare centre. Previously the residents had to walk long
distances to access health services, but through their own funds they built this
new facility. Through our partner HARD we provided the roofing and paint.

Richard believes that moving forward it will benefit more than five hundred
families and that the residents will no longer have to struggle. They understand
the importance of hygiene and good nutrition, and this centre will help the
community to continue to access medicines and further training on good
healthcare practices.


THE NEW SEED BANK



SPEDP Food Security Officer Augustino Aguot Lieth is inspecting the seed bank at
Malual Centre Payam Aweil North County (Christian Aid/Silvano Yokwe)

Since 2018, we have worked with groups of farmers to preserve seeds for
cultivating the following season. Through our partner SPEDP we built a seed bank
at Malual Centre Payam for the community. There are now five seed banks in Aweil
North County. These banks will go a long way to ensure the farmers have enough
seeds to plant for many years to come.

As our programme activities draw to a close, these activies were designed
together with communities to ensure strong participation and ownership, which
will encourage sustainability beyond the programme.
