production is expected to be slightly higher than last year’s
output, severely affected by El Niño; but still at below-average
levels following the negative impact on yields of a prolonged dry
spell between mid-May and early June. In particular, cereal
production has been significantly reduced in Napak and Abim
districts.
As of late July 2016, the country hosts over 568 000 registered
refugees and asylum seekers, mainly from South Sudan, in
addition to minor groups from the Democratic Republic of the
Congo, Burundi and Somalia. The influx of South Sudanese
refugees has significantly accelerated since early August 2016,
when heavy fighting spread in several counties of Greater
Equatoria region and additional 232 000 new arrivals are
recorded. Most South Sudanese refugees are hosted in camps in
northwestern districts of Adjumani and Yumbe and are in need of
urgent humanitarian assistance.
