“As a woman, I am sure of one thing if I don’t speak up, my voice shall never be heard. How can anybody be included if they aren’t heard?” asked Laetitia Benito, a participant at a women’s networking forum for durable peace held in Yambio, Western Equatoria.
Accelerating the Impact of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) Launch Date Location
Accelerating the Impact of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) is a new initiative that will enhance access to climate information services and validated climate-smart agriculture technologies in Africa.
With the support of AICCRA projects, farmers and livestock keepers will be able to better anticipate climate-related events and take preventative actions, with better access to climate advisories linked to information about effective response measures. This will help communities better safeguard their livelihoods and the environment.
It is supported by a grant from the International Development Association (IDA) of the World Bank, and will enhance research and capacity-building activities by the CGIAR and its partners.

“Women in South Sudan are the backbone of many communities,” says Patricia Njoroge, a Gender Affairs Officer serving with UNMISS. “However, they are still fighting to have their voices heard and included in the ongoing push for durable peace here.”
A traditionally patriarchal society in the world’s youngest nation means that much needs to be done to ensure women’s equal participation in political processes.
However, according to Patricia, another cogent need is to empower female activists and community leaders with the tools and techniques required for them to lead the charge for equal rights and representation.
