SOUTH SUDAN: UNHCR and FAO join efforts to enhance refugees’ food security
The United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) in collaboration with the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) have contributed over 100 tons of crop seeds, hand tools and fishing kits to two hundred thousand refugees and host communities across South Sudan.
The two Agencies distributed the items to refugees and local communities in Unity, Upper Nile, Jonglei and Equatoria States. According to UNHCR highlights, the agencies aim at helping the people to become self-sufficient in the country.
Meanwhile, Albert Einstein German Academic Refugee Initiative Fund availed ten scholarships for refugees in South Sudan. The scholarship is meant to enable refugees study at universities, colleges and polytechnics abroad.
This program serves as a foundation for social and professional development and allows students to build careers in competitive fields of employment.
The Fund did not mention when the scholarship will start and the necessary procedures needed to get the opportunity.
