Located in Jonglei State, South Sudan, Daga Station is one of the major settlements in the Upper Nile region, close to the Sudanese border. As a remote town in eastern South Sudan, Daga Station relies on agriculture as its main economic activity, and the local population relies on the Nile River for irrigated farming, with maize, sorghum and groundnuts as the main crops. Due to relatively weak infrastructure, the area has long been challenged by a lack of medical and educational resources. In recent years, with the investment of humanitarian aid, the food security situation in Daga Station has improved slightly, but it is still affected by localized conflicts and climatic drought. The population is predominantly Nuer, with traditional nomadic culture coexisting with agricultural life, and is one of the windows into the culture of communities in eastern South Sudan.
