"OLS southern sector: CRS operates in a wide geographic area of South Sudan, with many
sectors areas overlapping or integrated depending on the location. Food security programmes,
which include general food relief distributions, combined with longer-term seeds and tools
with agriculture extension training comprise the bulk of work done on the east bank of the
Nile River in Eastern Equatoria. Other programmes here include food for work for displaced
and drought-affected and primary health care/nutrition. On the West Bank of the Nile in both
Eastern and Western Equatoria, CRS’ main focus is on economic governance and income
generation programmes, building local capacities and institution to carry our rehabilitation
and development projects. In the Lakes State of Bahr Al Ghazal, CRS operates agriculture
with health and WES projects as well as longer-term development programmes with
Sudanese counterparts. In, addition, CRS works with the 5 Dioceses that cover all of South
Sudan on issues directly related to project support plus those support the institutions
themselves."
