Through the South Sudan Resilient Livestock Sector Project (RLSP), the World Bank is supporting the Ministry's efforts to transform livestock production into a more productive, commercial, and climate-resilient sector. The RLSP is a USD 40 million initiative that focuses on strengthening animal health services, improving rangeland management, expanding access to water and feed resources, and enhancing the resilience of livestock-dependent communities. Implemented through a dedicated Project Coordination Unit within the Ministry, the project targets approximately 166,000 pastoralist households across Jonglei, Warrap, Upper Nile, Central Equatoria, and Western Equatoria States. |  |
