Yemen Food Security Response and Resilience Project

About this project

The project focuses on building the resilience of Yemeni households to food security crises and improving household food security and nutrition by increasing food availability, access and utilization in the project areas. The project aims to serve as a scalable platform for broad-based support to food security in Yemen going forward. The project encompasses complementary activities to address the three core aspects of food security, including improving household incomes (improved food access), restoring and expanding agricultural production (improving food availability), and enhancing nutrition at the household level (improved nutrition). To achieve these objectives, the project includes five components, including: (1) Improving household incomes through Cash-for-Works and community contracting for agricultural production infrastructure; (2) Increasing production and sale of nutritious crop and livestock products; (3) Improving the nutritional status of rural households; (4) Capacity building for food security management; and (5) Project management and knowledge management. The project aims to work through several Implementing Agencies – FAO, UNDP, and ICRC which allows for both tailoring and scaling-up interventions based on the needs on the ground in Yemen.
