The UNTFHS funded programme’s overall objective was to improve human security in fishing dependent, conflict-ridden communities.

Assistance to the small-scale subsistence fisheries in Southern Sudan [now South Sudan]

Duration: April 2002– October 2003
Budget: US$446,588
Implementing Agencies: FAO

The programme improved human security in fishery dependent, conflict-ridden communities through the distribution of fishing equipment and the provision of technical training. The programme increased self-reliance and by extension reduced the dependency of vulnerable communities on external food aid.
