Tenders Are Invited For Participatory Value Chain & Market Assessment (Pvcma) Groundnuts, Sorghum, And Fish

Tenders are invited for Participatory Value Chain & Market Assessment (PVCMA) Groundnuts, Sorghum, and Fish South Sudan faces a severe and prolonged food security and livelihoods crisis, driven by low agricultural productivity, weak market systems, limited financial access, and recurrent shocks. Over 60% of the population is food insecure, with millions at risk of emergency hunger levels, while malnutrition remains critically high among children. Agricultural production continues to fall short of national needs, and rural households face major barriers including poor infrastructure, high transport costs, unreliable input supply and limited access to functioning markets and credit. Despite these challenges, evidence from partners such as Norwegian Church Aid (NCA), Catholic Relief Services (CRS), CARE International, Johanniter International Assistance (Johanniter) and Invisible Women Inclusion Network (I-WIN) shows that integrated approaches combining farmer training, access to climate-smart inputs, storage, aggregation, financial services and market linkages can significantly improve productivity, incomes and resilience. They will strengthen value chains, promote peacebuilding and ensure women and youth inclusion. However, these successes remain fragmented and difficult to scale in South Sudans fragile context, where private sector engagement is limited and value chains are underdeveloped. The project is implemented in Three States Lake State, Jonglei State (Bor South County) and Western Bahr el Ghazal State (Jur River and Wau Counties).
