'Food security and why it matters for peace in South Sudan' highlights the complexity of the food security crisis in South Sudan and the efforts needed to build stability and peace in a context of climate change impacts and intercommunal violence.
The film is part of the wider knowledge partnership between SIPRI and the World Food Programme (WFP), which aims to strengthen WFP’s contribution to achieving peace in the countries where it works.
In September, SIPRI released a series of video interviews with local people and humanitarian workers in South Sudan’s Jonglei State, exploring their perceptions of food security, violence and development challenges. ‘Food security and why it matters for peace in South Sudan’ mixes extracts from those interviews with new footage and graphics.
