<p>Through our livelihoods and resilience programming in South Sudan, DFID is working
with partners to tackle the underlying causes of food insecurity and malnutrition.
This includes: supporting households to diversify their income and food sources through
crop and vegetable production, fishing and small livestock; working with traders to
kick start markets; and supporting training that builds the knowledge and skills which
underpin nutritious diets.</p><p> </p><p>These approaches complement the life-saving
provision of food, water, nutrition products and medicine through DFID’s humanitarian
programming. In addition, DFID’s Health Pooled Fund programme is improving access
to nutrition services – both screening and treatment – as part of a package of life-saving
care in 800 health centres across South Sudan. In the last year 480,000 children under
five were assessed for malnutrition.</p>
