Agriculture and Food Security Strategy for South Sudan

IFPRI is honored to welcome the H.E. Dr. Betty Achan Ogwaro, Agriculture and Forestry Minister of the world’s newest nation, South Sudan.

The young country is eager to transform into a strong economy, and Dr. Ogwaro believes that economic development is contingent on a vibrant agricultural sector. The opportunities for agricultural development are plentiful, due to the country’s abundant fertile land, natural resources and high growth potential. At her IFPRI presentation, Dr. Ogwaro will outline a bold vision for sustainable agricultural growth, including concrete steps to address systemic issues and a plan to increase development capacity.

Join us to learn about exciting opportunities for partnerships, and the path forward, in South Sudan.
