Flood season is coming. South Sudan’s farmers could be ready

Commentary · 16 July 2026 · 1 min read

Five consecutive years of historic flooding have taught South Sudan's farmers a hard lesson: the water will come. The only question is whether harvests, seed stocks, and livestock are protected before it does.

ALDO's climate-resilience work focuses on preparation: flood-tolerant and early-maturing crop varieties, seed preservation, and planning that anticipates the season rather than reacting to it. Preparedness costs a fraction of emergency response.

This is where early, patient support does the most good. Money that arrives before the flood buys far more than money that arrives after it.
