The Food Security Programme Advisor will coordinate implementation, ensure the coherence between the different projects and will come up with proposals to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the food security program in Southern Sudan. This will include seeking linkages with other activities of Cordaid in South Sudan. 

The objective of Cordaid’s Food Security programme is an improvement of the food security of the communities in fragile areas by supporting small scale farmers to enhance their capacity to raise production, limit post-harvest losses and access markets. The programme centers around four main product areas: farmer organizations, storage systems, market information systems and market linkages. New economic opportunities and by enhanced capacity of the communities to find joint solutions to the problems of the farmers may lead to less tensions in and between communities and may prevent conflicts to relapse.
