The overall goals of the study will be to: 1. Assess the overall socio-economic returns from mine clearance investments through a livelihoods analysis of the landmine impacted communities that are now cleared of mines and other explosive remnants of war (ERW); and 2. Enhance the capacity of YEMAC to conduct future assessments of socio- economic benefits from mine action Secondary benefits might include: a) An assessment of the community Landmine Impact Scores as a tool for identifying impact and determining priorities for action; b) Advice on how to design and conduct on-going socio-economic surveys relating to ERW; c) Advice on integrating social differentiation within LIS survey protocols; d) Advice on enhancements to YEMAC’s M&E system; e) A preliminary assessment of complementary development initiatives for mine affected communities. The tentative timetable for the study is from 1st March to 31 May, 2006, based on one month each for (i) pre-survey activities, (ii) survey, and (iii) analysis and reporting. This may be modified based on discussions between YEMAC, GICHD, and NRI. The number of villages to be surveyed depends on the trade-off between depth and breadth of the study, but may need to consider a lower number than the 25 suggested. YEMAC will supply or coordinate all resources from within Yemen, while GICHD will play a supporting role in terms of resource mobilization, reporting to donors, contracting and payments, and will assign a GICHD Task Manager to the project. GICHD may also assist with economic analysis if there are adequate data to support this. NRI will provide expert advice and assistance on the survey design, development and testing of data collection instruments and processes, training of local surveyors, and the analysis of data. The approach The survey will be a team effort between YEMAC, GICHD, NRI and the communities selected for study. The team will be guided by a Project Steering Committee. NRI will balance the need for reliable, practical information on which short-term decisions can be made and conclusions drawn on the programme’s cost effectiveness, with longer-term capacity development objectives. 1 The approach will draw on our experience in Yemen, and on approaches used for livelihood surveys conducted in Afghanistan, Moldova, Sudan and elsewhere for a variety of purposes. However, it will be tailored to the cultural circumstances of the country, and the specific purposes of the study. A full understanding of the context of the study will be developed through an initial visit to Yemen (and, if necessary, to Geneva) to meet with stakeholders at central, regional and local levels, including visits to a small number of affected communities. This will help to clarify how the study results will be used (and therefore the type of information needed) and who at local level are most affected, positively and negatively by the demining programme (and therefore need to be included in the survey). At this stage it is anticipated that three teams of male and female Yemeni staff will be trained to conduct the surveys. A key participant will be the assigned Yemeni socio- economist, who should be present from the first visit of NRI staff, through to the end of the assignment, and actively involved in all steps at both conceptual and implementational levels. The NRI specialists will lead two of the three teams in the field, and it is hoped that the Yemeni socio-economist will lead the other. Communication will be maintained throughout the fieldwork, in order to respond to unforeseen circumstances and opportunities. The communities to be surveyed will be carefully chosen according to a sample frame that uses criteria developed with YEMAC, and approved by the Steering Committee. The criteria to be discussed might include geographical area, livelihood and cultural variation, the different levels to which communities have been affected by landmines and ERW and the time scale of contamination and clearance. The sample should be large enough to provide viable, representative information for future action, but should also give enough time to researchers to understand the situation in the villages. The sample size will therefore be determined by the variability between villages, and the time and human resources available. It will also depend on the availability and reliability of current, quantitative secondary information about the villages. The study will include representatives from high, medium and low impact communities. Experience elsewhere suggests that a minimum of two days should be allowed for each village, to enable both qualitative and quantitative information to be gathered. Villagers might be initially suspicious of the survey team, and it will take some time to develop a good rapport, and to understand the unique circumstances and experiences of each village. Survey Methods The survey will not use a single household questionnaire as envisaged in the zero draft, but a carefully balanced set of qualitative and quantitative survey tools (e.g. village profiles, focus group discussions, time lines, wealth ranking, participatory mapping, cause and effect diagramming, livelihood kites, household level interviews etc) to build a picture of the economic, social, infrastructural, natural and human impacts of demining within the specific and dynamic local setting of the community in question. While it will be possible to quantify the costs and benefits of some impacts (e.g. improved access to grazing land), others – such as improved cohesion within the 2 village, or greater confidence in future prospects – are subjective and complex judgments that are difficult to quantify. The survey will interact with leaders of the community in the first instance, and then with groups of socially-differentiated men and women. The initial visit will help to identify the most appropriate groups. In Afghanistan this was according to wealth (predominantly ownership of irrigated land and livestock) and gender, while in Moldova we used 13 different social categories to develop a complete picture of trends, problems and potential solutions to on-farm, off-farm and non-farm assets and activities. The survey will elicit from the focus groups their ideas on the main indicators of change arising from the presence and clearance of mines in their village. Then the extent of these changes, for example, in asset access and livelihood choices, will be determined on a quantitative and qualitative basis with the groups selected. Problems with access will be explored, together with suggestions for improvement (to include who would be responsible, and what resources would be required). This participatory indicator development, taken in conjunction with the insights arising from individual responses, will contribute to the methodology for future monitoring of socio-economic benefits for mine action. Individual interviews with households identified by the community as typical of their situation, would also be conducted to provide detailed information. It is our experience that such individual interviews, conducted in an informal setting using a carefully constructed check list, lead to additional, personal insights that don’t come up in group discussion. They also provide the opportunity to triangulate information gained from focus group discussions or secondary data. In particular, the need for continued or additional support services will be explored for men, women and children. A feedback session with the community would confirm the main findings from the different tools used, and further confirm the most important positive impacts of demining for that community, and the most important outstanding problems still faced. Some of the focus group discussions and most of the household level interviews will be collected in formats that allow entry into, and analysis by, SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). Economic data will be collected to contribute to an assessment

    18 September 2014 Yemen Resolving displacement essential for long- term peace and stability Intermittent armed conflict and violence have mainly taken place on three fronts in Yemen in recent years. The Shia al-Houthi movement has led a violent insurgency in the north, there has been civil unrest in central and southern regions, and government forces have clashed in the south with militants associated with the Southern Separatist Movement and Ansar al-Sharia, an offshoot of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).

As of July 2014, there were 334,626 internally displaced people (IDPs) registered by the government’s Executive Unit and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), most of whom had fled conflict and violence. Disasters including flash floods and drought have also caused displacement, but there are few reliable estimates of its scale. IDPs and their host communities face many protection risks, including threats to their physical security and a lack of access to adequate shelter and basic services. Food insecurity and malnutrition rates are also particularly high among displaced communities, and IDPs face a heightened risk of serious human rights abuses.

  • Yemen – Crisis Info December 2018
    YEMEN – CRISIS INFO DECEMBER 2018 HODEIDAH On 18 September, a new offensive was launched by SELC backed forces to retake Hodeidah from Ansar Allah control after a new round of peace negotiations failed in Geneva. In mid- September, SELC-backed forces moved towards the eastern side of Hodeidah, with daily clashes partially blocking the main Hodeidah-Sanaa road and raising fears of a siege around the city. Clashes erupted on multiple occasions near the biggest hospital of the city (Al Thawrah). In August/September, a further depreciation of the Yemeni Riyal led to further increases in the price of commodities, while shortages of fuel and cooking gas were also reported. It is estimated that more than half of the 600,000 inhabitants of Hodeidah left the city, towards Sanaa, Ibb and Hajjah. In October, we also observed the return of some of them to the city due to the deteriorating economic conditions. In early October, MSF started working at Al Salakhanah hospital, northeast of the city. Teams rehabilitated the emergency room and operating theatres so as to be able to provide emergency medical and surgical care in case fighting reached new areas of the city. There is a need for healthcare, particularly trauma and surgical care. From 1 November, a stronger offensive was launched by SELC-backed forces, with deployment of troops on the ground and battles getting very close to Al Salakhana hospital, where MSF teams are working. Al Salakhana hospital remains one of only three open and operational public hospitals in the area. Al Thawrah hospital, the main public health facility in the city, is still operational but threatened by fighting and rapidly moving frontlines.

  • Secondary Data Review & Strategic Analysis for Yemen September 2011
    Secondary Data Review & Strategic Analysis for Yemen September 2011 Secondary Data Review & Strategic Analysis for Yemen September 2011 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This data review and strategic analysis provides a summary of the current humanitarian needs in Yemen based on existing assessment data shared with OCHA. The majority of assessments were undertaken in 2011 although some key assessments prior to this were also taken in to consideration. Humanitarian needs are described sectorally as well as in three geographic areas; South, North and Central/West. A draft humanitarian response and contingency plans in development for each of these three geographic areas through the HCT and partners. It is intended that the results of this report feed into and inform the development of these response plans and ultimately feed into the CAP 2012. SECTORS Food: Rising food prices are increasing levels of food insecurity across the three different regions. Many families are forced to adopt negative coping mechanisms and an increased reliance on emergency humanitarian assistance. A social protection monitoring report by UNICEF indicates that at least one member of the household goes without food in Sa’ada, Sana’a, Amran and Hodeidah governorates; the highest numbers in Amran at 30%, 25% in Sana’a and 5% in Hodeidah. In the South, 90% of the displaced population relies on food assistance from host families or aid agencies. The food security situation is worse in the rural areas as compared to the urban areas. The most affected groups are rural children, female headed households and returnees (who neither receive government assistance nor on WFP lists).
