Improving living conditions for internally displaced persons and their host communities in Ma’rib

About this project

The multi-sectoral project addresses urgent gaps in Ma'rib City and Ma'rib Alwadi. Ma'rib has become a critical hub for displaced populations in Yemen, hosting one of the largest concentrations of displaced people in the country. The rapid growth of displacement has placed immense pressure on infrastructure and basic services. Through this project, Health services are being strengthened through provision of medical supplies, essential equipment, and mental health and psychosocial support. Rehabilitation of water and sanitation systems will provide safe, sustainable access to clean water and hygiene facilities reducing waterborne disease risks. In parallel, transitional shelters and essential non-food items will protect vulnerable households from environmental hazards. The project will also rehabilitate and upgrade school facilities, ensuring safe, secure learning spaces for children in displacement-affected communities. Community-led infrastructure upgrades, enhancement of electrical connections and disaster risk reduction interventions will protect internally displaced persons and host communities from natural hazards in flood-prone locations.
