The Empower Farmers South Sudan (EFSS) Program is structured around four interlinked focus areas that together drive practical learning, leadership development, nationwide scale, and climate resilience. These focus areas ensure that conservation agriculture is not only demonstrated, but institutionalized and sustained across South Sudan.

Our Focus Areas

Train-the-Trainers (ToT) Course.

Through certified Training-of-Trainers (ToT) courses, EFSS equips youth Champions and Fellows with the technical, facilitation, and ethical competencies required to deliver high-quality conservation agriculture training. This system builds a national pool of professional trainers who can independently support farmer groups, schools, churches, NGOs, and government partners.

National Adoption Campaigns

The National Adoption Campaign mobilizes communities, schools, faith institutions, and local leaders to embrace conservation agriculture as a national movement. By combining farmer mobilization, youth leadership deployment, institutional partnerships, and structured supervision systems, EFSS accelerates the transition from pilot projects to large-scale, community-owned adoption of CA-FfF practices.

EFSS integrates agroforestry and climate-smart farming into all field activities to restore degraded soils and protect livelihoods from climate shocks. Through composting, mulching, tree planting, moisture conservation, and minimum tillage, EFSS strengthens household resilience to drought, erratic rainfall, and land degradation while safeguarding future food systems.

Agroforestry & Climate Change

Demonstration Farming

EFSS establishes Pfumvudza demonstration farms as living classrooms where farmers learn by doing. These sites model the correct application of Foundations for Farming standards, including precise land preparation, composting, mulching, planting accuracy, and crop management. Demonstration farms serve as quality assurance hubs, training venues, and proof of concept for conservation agriculture in real field conditions.
