Agribusiness & Climate-Smart Farming Program

Equipping vulnerable households with greenhouse and drip irrigation technologies for high-value vegetable production.

The Challenge

South Sudan faces high youth unemployment, food insecurity, climate shocks, and underused fertile land. Conflict, floods, poor infrastructure, and limited farming knowledge keep agricultural productivity low, leaving millions dependent on aid.

Our Solution

AECC Africa equips vulnerable households with greenhouse and drip irrigation technologies to grow high-value vegetables in urban and peri-urban areas. We combine training, financing, and guaranteed markets so farming becomes a stable business — not just survival.
