These regions have faced persistent seasonal flooding that has displaced populations and destroyed livelihoods.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the launch in Juba on Tuesday, David Batali Oliver, the Acting Undersecretary in the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, stated that the initiative will benefit approximately 1.7 million people. The program is designed to strengthen the capacity of communities, ecosystems, and local institutions to withstand climate-related shocks.<\/p>\n<p>The investment is supported by the Green Climate Fund (GCF), with additional co-financing from WFP and UNHCR.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis project is aimed at building resilience of the vulnerable communities in the two states&#8230; because of the persistent floods in those areas,\u201d said Batali.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis project will build the resilience of the communities as well as the ecosystems and institutions, to be able to face the climate shocks. This is a climate resilience investment supported by the Green Climate Fund.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The project marks a significant step in South Sudan\u2019s strategy to mitigate increasingly severe weather events. Mr. Batali expressed appreciation to the Green Climate Fund for supporting the country\u2019s efforts to protect vulnerable populations.<\/p>\n<p>Officials confirmed that a project management team is already in place, signaling the formal transition from the planning phase to active implementation on the ground. The initiative is expected to provide long-term solutions to reduce the recurring impact of climate disasters in the targeted states.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">South-Sudan<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
