The A3-SEED – “Triple A-SEED” activity responds to the BHOS policy on food security combating hunger and malnutrition and improving agricultural productivity by amongst others supporting climate smart agriculture. This activity aims at supporting the local production, distribution and marketing of quality seeds in the Republic of South Sudan which has for long been a key constraint to improved agricultural productivity in the country. The activity also operationalizes the Dutch government’s commitment to the sustainable development goals, the Paris Climate Accord as well as the hubs of stability and the partnership for Recovery and Resilience approaches to delivering development cooperation activities in South Sudan. Through this project, incomes of 100.000 people engaged in production of seeds will be increased - half of these beneficiaries will directly realize a 50% increase in yield and income while the other half will indirectly realize a 20% rise in the yield and income from their crops. In this process, 42.000 hectares of farms land will be cultivated following agro-ecological production techniques with climate resilient farming practices. Through advocacy and collaboration with local actors, the project aims to increase local purchase of seeds by individuals, businesses and humanitarians by up to 50%. To achieve the above results, the project intends to utilize a facilitative, private sector led approach to develop the seed and input sectors in South Sudan with less direct involvement of IFDC/KIT in implementation by relying on local partners – with better knowledge of local context- to execute activities. IFDC/KIT will utilize push-pull approaches to design interventions that will stimulate production and productivity by a.o. building capacity of farmers to be responsive to market demands.
