contents <p>Community food security initiatives are crucial for addressing malnutrition and poverty in rural areas of South Sudan, particularly in Senegalese commune areas where traditional agricultural practices have been disrupted by conflict and displacement. The study employed ethnographic research methods to conduct participant observations, interviews, and focus group discussions with local residents, community leaders, and implementing organizations. Data were analysed using thematic content analysis. Community food security initiatives have shown a significant improvement in food availability (over 50% increase) among participants who received support from these programmes. However, challenges such as limited funding and insufficient agricultural resources hindered their full implementation. Despite the positive outcomes observed, ongoing support and resource allocation are essential to sustain and expand community-based food security efforts in South Sudan's Senegalese commune areas. Investment in sustainable agriculture projects should be prioritised alongside continued funding for existing programmes. Additionally, capacity-building initiatives for local leaders and communities can enhance the effectiveness of future interventions.</p>
