Reaching the Markets through Community Marketing Cooperatives - the case of the Mogos community in South Sudan

Mogos is a pastoral community located in the semi-arid area in Southern Sudan, remote and largely inaccessible to outsiders. Toposa pastoralists depend on livestock production for their livelihoods. This case describes how SNV worked together with a development Agency working together with communities in promoting livestock production and marketing. SNV invested in capacity building, market research and establishing initial market linkages, developing local marketing strategies, and supporting governance development.
