  • YEMEN Food Security Outlook August 2016 to January 2017
    YEMEN Food Security Outlook August 2016 to January 2017 High food prices weaken household purchasing power and limit food access for poor households KEY MESSAGES • A major food security emergency is Figure 1. Current food security outcomes, August to September 2016 ongoing in Yemen, caused by conflict- related disruptions to household livelihoods. FEWS NET estimates that across the western half of the country, households continue to face Crisis (IPC Phase 3 or 3!) or Emergency (IPC Phase 4) food security outcomes. Food consumption gaps, elevated levels of acute malnutrition, and/or excess mortality are likely in these areas. • Although food security data is limited, FEWS NET estimates that approximately seven to ten million people currently face Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse food security outcomes. Amongst this population, about 25 percent are in Emergency (IPC Phase 4). • Large-scale humanitarian assistance is currently playing an important role in preventing higher levels of food insecurity Source: FEWS NET This map represents acute food insecurity outcomes relevant for emergency decision- in many areas.

In the absence of this assistance, additional areas (Hajjah, Sa’dah, Sana’a, Amran and Ad Dali’) would have likely faced worse food security outcomes, in line with Emergency (IPC Phase 4). • Based on an analysis of WFP’s mVAM data over the past year, food security outcomes do not appear to have drastically changed.

  • Job Description
    JOB DESCRIPTION Preliminary Job Information Job Title GRANTS & REPORTING OFFICER Country & Base of posting SANAA’, YEMEN Reports to DEPUTY HEAD OF MISSION FOR PROGRAMS Duration of Mission 6 months General Information on the Mission Context Première Urgence Internationale (PUI) is a non-governmental, non-profit, non-political and non-religious international aid organization. Our teams are committed to supporting civilian victims of marginalization and exclusion, or those hit by natural disasters, wars and economic collapses by answering their fundamental needs. Our aim is to provide emergency relief to uprooted people in order to help them recover their dignity and regain self-sufficiency. The association leads in average 200 projects a year in the following sectors of intervention: Food Security, Health, Nutrition, Construction and Rehabilitation of infrastructures, Water, Sanitation, Hygiene and Economic Recovery. PUI is providing assistance to around 7 million people in 23 countries across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and France. The conflict in Yemen started in 2014 with an internal political crisis which, later on, degenerated into an open war between northern-based Houthi Movement, and forces loyal to the official government, led by President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi. In March 2015, violence escalated when a Saudi-led coalition launched military operations to restore the official government and stop the Houthi-Saleh alliance, who already controlled Sana’a and advanced on Aden. The Saudi intervention led to a stalemate in which the country largely remains as per now. The war also escalated on the economic front as the Saudi-led coalition declared a blockade on large portions of the country still controlled by the Houthis.

    Monthly Situation Report – December 2018 Response Progress and Severity of Humanitarian Access Trend of assistance over the months Total funding required: $ 195 M %46 %54 Funded %37.2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Situation Overview Months Humanitarian Needs Due to developments and shifts in the conflict, the severity of needs and number of PIN (People in Need) for Shelter/NFI/CCCM assistance have increased compared to the previous year with the total population in need increasing by almost 24 per cent from 5.4 million people last year to 6.7 million people this year (1.7 million men, 1.6 women, 1.7 boys and 1.7 girls). This was derived by the increase in displacement by 65 per cent from 2 million in October 2017 people to almost 3.3 million in November 2018 as a result of the increased fighting on front-lines particularly around the west coast. These massive numbers have impacted on host communities by increasing strains on public services and infrastructure and an increased pressure on limited resources. The population in acute need of Shelter/NFI/CCCM assistance also increased from 2.5 million people to 4.5 million (1.1 million men, 1.1 women, 1.2 boys and 1.1 girls), a 78 per cent increase from last year with high number of people with specific needs found across 207 districts in the country.
