Research location: Juba and Lainya

Juba and Lainya
"In my home in Eastern Equatoria, many of the seasonal rivers are now drying up. From these rivers they used to get very many things, fresh fish and many other things but now all of them have dried up. Even some of the traditional crops we used to grow when there was much rainfall, we can no longer grow them."
 - Male, 35-50, Juba, Southern Sudan

 
"It no longer rains like it used to. Now it can sometimes be three months, four months between rains. The weather is very hot and dry, and even when you plant some crops, they will dry up… Before the war, it was never this now, but now the temperatures have increased."
