Information

1. What is the mission of World Women’s Team and Agriculture Mission South Sudan?

Our mission is to empower women and strengthen rural livelihoods through sustainable agriculture, leadership training, and economic development. We work to enhance food security, promote gender equality, and build resilient communities across South Sudan.

2. Why do you focus primarily on women?

Women are the backbone of South Sudan’s agricultural economy, yet they face barriers to land ownership, financial services, and training. By empowering women, we not only increase household food security and income but also uplift families and entire communities.

3. How do your programs create long-term impact rather than dependency?

We combine short-term support (such as seeds, tools, and livestock) with long-term strategies — including training in climate-smart farming, agribusiness, and leadership. Each project is community-driven, ensuring local ownership and sustainability even after donor funding ends.

4. Where do you work in South Sudan?

We operate in several states and counties affected by food insecurity, conflict, and displacement — focusing especially on rural and semi-urban communities. Our projects are implemented in partnership with local women’s groups, cooperatives, and community leaders.

5. How do you measure success?

We track measurable outcomes such as increased crop yields, women’s income growth, improved household nutrition, and participation in leadership roles. Community feedback sessions and independent evaluations ensure transparency and continuous learning.

6. Who supports or funds your work?

Our programs are supported by a diverse network of partners — including international donors, development agencies, local government departments, and individual contributors. We also collaborate with farmer cooperatives and other NGOs to maximize impact and resources.

7. Do you include men in your programs?

Yes. While women are our primary focus, men — especially community elders, husbands, and youth — play an important role in creating an enabling environment for gender equality. We promote shared learning and collaboration between men and women to foster unity and peace.

8. How can someone get involved or support your mission?

There are many ways to support our work:

Partner with us on projects or training programs

Contribute through donations or sponsorships

Volunteer your skills or time

Share our story and raise awareness about women’s empowerment and food security in South Sudan

9. What are some of the biggest challenges you face?

We work in a complex environment affected by limited infrastructure, climate shocks, and insecurity. Despite these challenges, our community-based approach, dedicated local teams, and strong partnerships enable us to adapt and continue delivering positive change.

10. What makes your organisation unique?

 

We are locally led and women-centered. Over 90% of our staff are South Sudanese, and our programs are co-designed with the communities we serve. This local leadership ensures that every initiative reflects real needs, promotes self-reliance, and delivers lasting results.

 

 

Could you share a few examples of how World Women's Team and Agriculture Mission South-sudan has positively impacted the lives of women and the agricultural sector in South Sudan?

We envision a South Sudan where women are at the forefront of agricultural transformation, leading to increased household food security, stronger rural economies driven by women-led enterprises, climate-resilient communities, and greater national unity through women’s empowerment in agriculture. We focus on innovation, cash distribution, emergency support, and disability inclusion to achieve this vision.
