The organization provides technical guidance/skills training, educational and material assistance to host communities. It was established and incorporated by group of intellectuals. The (FACDDO) Organization was founded to promote the concept of community development. It was established as a response to the instability following the civil war in Sudan from 1983 to 2005, which caused the loss of the lives of thousands of civilians. The civil war in Sudan also caused many people to flee their homes and become refugees in countries like Sudan, Uganda, Kenya and Ethiopia. It then became necessary to establish a strong civil sector in order to mitigate the constant problems facing the poorest parts of the communities in South Sudan. After the signing of Comprehensive peace Agreement (CPA) between Sudan and South Sudan, a wide range of civil society groups have emerged. The traditional elders, religious leaders, Community Based Youth Organizations, business groups, women's organizations have become active in playing their role in the development of the society to recover from the impact of civil war. Local NGOs proliferated in the vacuum throughout the country by setting themselves up as social service delivery agents. (FACDDO) will be addressing the areas of agriculture extension, public health, education, water and sanitation, vocational training, micro-credit schemes, human right and child protection, women's income generating schemes, gender balance, care of orphanages, peace building schemes and rehabilitation of community infrastructures and many other projects. The main objective of (FACDDO) is to relieve the inhabitants of the state of Warrap, Northern Bahr El Ghazal, Lake and Western Bahr El Ghazal that are in conditions of need, hardship or distress as a result of post conflict/civil war in Sudan and South Sudan, and economic circumstances.

Land preparation and planting of maize

Importance of proper land preparation

Poorly prepared land leads to low yields. It is important to prepare the soil properly to ensure good germination of your maize. Digging exposes harmful pests and diseases to the heat of the sun. It also helps to bringnutrients near the soil surface, improves water and air movement, and loosens the soil for easy root growth. In addition, digging helps to mix up organic matter in the soil and to kill weeds.

How to prepare the land for maize planting

Land preparation can be done by hand digging, using an ox-plough or a disc plough. Depending on the condition of the ground, dig once or twice, to a depth of at least 20 cm during the dry season.

At the start of rains, harrow the soil. Avoid digging or harrowing the soil when it is too wet because this can cause big

lumps especially in clay soils. Harrowing involves breaking up large lumps of soil to get a good seedbed. A good

seedbed makes planting easier and ensures maize germinates well. Planting should start a few days after the

start of the rains when the soil is moist.

Depth of planting and spacing of maize

The depth of planting maize depends on how moist the soil is.

· If the soil is moist, plant 2-3 cm below the ground and if the soil is dry, plant the seed 5-10 cm deep so that it does not dry up.

· The depth of planting should be uniform to allow uniform plant germination and growth.

· Plant using a planter such as a hand-held jab planter or ox- or tractor-drawn tractor to ensure uniform depth of planting.

· When using a planter check the first few lines to ensure that the planting is okay and adjust where necessary

For good growth and development, maize should be planted at the right spacing.

· If the soil fertility is low or under low rainfall, use a spacing of 90 by 30 cm for one seed per hole, or 90 by 50 cm for 2 seeds

per hole.

· In areas with high to moderate rainfall or with high soil fertility, use a spacing of 75 by 25 cm for one seed per hole or 75 by

50 cm for 2 seeds per hole.

· The seed should not be directly in contact with fertilizers to avoid seed burning, which can cause poor germination.

· When hand-planting, put fertilizer in the hole, cover it with soil, then put the seed. Cover seed with loose soil, not with big lumps,

and then press down the soil.

Preparing your land early, and using the right depth and spacing will lead to higher maize yields.
