Dear Arem,
Thanks for sharing with us the information about SSA training plan. Could you provide us with tentative dates for this training? Are you foreseeing actual assessment being conducted immediately after the training?

Dear Joseph,
Thank you for this informative report and the colleagues for these scientific inputs and analysis of the seed system . On behalf of Catholic Relief Services,( CRS) South Sudan and especially the Jonglei Food Security Program(JFSP), a USAID founded program on Food Security in Jonglei state that is being implemented by CRS, plans are underway to firstly conduct the State-Level Seed Security Assessment Training. This training will target and converge the local indigenous farmers, Agriculture extension staff, staff from the Ministry of Agriculture, CRS as well as partner staff.
We felt that by cascading the knowledge of SSA through this training will be a fundamental strategy for the participants to have an inception and better insight into what is Seed Security and Assessment?.
The training documents are already in place and we will notify if there are additional technical supportive gaps required.
Many thanks,
Alier Arem Deng,

Subject: New Year Greetings
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!!
