Information

We know that agriculture and food policy is critical in driving agricultural transformation. But what can we do in countries often deemed "fragile" facing complex emergency conditions where institutions are often altogether missing? On June 28, Agrilinks will host a special 30-minute "Ask the Expert: conversation on this issue with Jeff Hill, Director of the Office of Economic Growth and Agriculture in USAID/South Sudan. 

Among other questions, Hill will answer:

  • What are the opportunities for policy change in a place like South Sudan? 
  • How do we need to work differently compared to how we work in more stable environments?
  • What have you learned from your experience in South Sudan that may be instructive for policy works in similar contexts?

Join in to ask additional questions and to learn about the possibilities for policy programming in troubled environments.

This event is part of Agrilinks’ food security policy month this June.
