Dear Okedi,
Thanks for your updates on SSA across Africa especially Kenya and Uganda
whom South Sudan shares common international borders. Farming communities
in South Sudanese may be very interested to know more of the seeds
cultivated in those areas.
As for the coming cropping season in year 2015, farmers will expect
improvement compared to year 2014 where most farmers complained of heavy
rainfall and land slides washed most crop farm in Eastern Equatoria State
of South Sudan particularily at Ikwoto county bordering with Uganda then
in Kapoeta and Budi county bordering both Kenya they complained both
drought and heavy rains.
Seed security assessment is deemed for those areas though other places are
also affected in South Sudan.
Regards,
MOKORONDERE, Joseph

Subject: New Year Greetings
Sent by: The Community of Practice of Seed Security Assessments for
the Horn of Africa <[log in to unmask]>
I send my sincere gratitude and greetings to all who managed to get to the
New Year -2015. It has been a while without any discussion in our
community of practice on seed security issues around the horn of Africa
(HoA). I know end (2014) and beginning of 2015 had their tolls on our
workload, but I believe we all got through.
Seed Security Assessment updates:
· Kenya: Towards the end of last year, FAO Kenya in collaboration
with County Government (Agricultural Department) conducted a seed security
assessment in the South Eastern Livelihood zone. Key findings are as
summarized in the attached document. Any comment on the findings and
recommendation is welcome.
· Malawi: The recent flood in Malawi has call for humanitarian
response. For effective and efficient response, FAO in Collaboration with
CRS is organizing a Rapid Seed Security Assessment from 16th to 28th of
this month.
· Uganda: A seed security assessment will be conducted in West
Nile by the Integrated Seed Sector Development (ISSD) Programme with
technical support from FAO . This assessment will commence in the second
week of March.
Please let us know if you are planning any seed security assessment in
your country/region, and do not hesitate to contact us for any technical
support.
Wishing you all a happy New Year!!
