In the heart of South Sudan, a new chapter is opening for changemakers in the agri-space. The IGNITE Food Systems Challenge is back, an open call for visionaries who believe agriculture isn’t just about crops and livestock, but about building futures, feeding nations, and fueling innovation.
Led by the World Food Programme South Sudan, in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, AfriLabs, and Seedgrow, this second edition of the challenge is seeking entrepreneurs, cooperatives, and grassroots ventures that are rewriting the rules of food systems in South Sudan.
Whether you’re:
- A youth-led start-up with a smart post-harvest solution,
- A woman-led venture tackling nutrition in local communities, or
- An agri-SME helping farmers access markets or improve productivity, this opportunity is for you.
What’s on the Table?
- Grant funding to bring your bold idea to life
- Expert mentorship and technical guidance, tailored to your growth
- A chance to scale your agri-business and deepen your community impact
This isn’t just a competition, it’s a launchpad. Because when small ventures thrive, entire communities transform.
If you’re ready to rise, ready to redefine what’s possible in South Sudan’s food systems, don’t let this door close on you.
