Abstract Seasonal flooding poses a major threat to household food security in vulnerable rural communities in South Sudan. Despite increasing flood impacts, empirical evidence on flood-related food insecurity and household resilience remains limited. This study assessed household food security status, determinants, and coping strategies among flood-affected households in Aweil West County, South Sudan.

Abstract Market vendors play a critical role in food distribution, employment creation, and the functioning of the urban economy in Uganda, yet they operate within highly flood-prone environments. Despite their socio-economic importance, there remains limited empirical understanding of the factors shaping flood impacts and the adaptive capacity of informal market vendors in such urban vulnerable contexts.
