2019 Yemen Contingency Plan

2019 YEMEN CONTINGENCY PLAN

SEPTEMBER 2019

1. STRATEGIC SUMMARY

1. Strategic Yemen faces complex and multi-dimensional humanitarian challenges, including ongoing Summary displacement as a result of conflict and recurrent natural disasters. This plan intends to ensure adequate preparedness for a timely, appropriate and principled humanitarian response to

2. Scenarios & rapid onset large scale displacements or other unpredictable emergencies. Humanitarian Implications The objective of the plan is to outline the immediate humanitarian response requirements to 3. Response assist those people that may be affected by potential shifts in conflict dynamics in all the hubs Preparedness across the country for a period of up to six months (September 2019 – February 2020). Shifting Strategy frontlines, changes in control and extreme weather events (e.g., cyclones) may result in 4. Cluster increased humanitarian needs, which will necessitate a timely scaled-up response. Response Strategies This plan outlines the preparedness and response efforts planned to address the increased needs of the affected population under the most likely scenario outlined below. The most likely scenario is based on the assumption that there are no major changes in conflict dynamics, rates of displacement remain the same and no natural disasters occur within the next six months. As a result, up to 25,450 households, or approximately 178,150 people, may be displaced and in need of immediate assistance. The worst- case scenario assumes major shifts in frontlines towards urban areas, significant changes in control, increased rates of displacement, and a cyclone making landfall in southern Yemen. Consequently, up to 160,500 households, or approximately 1.1 million people, may be displaced and in need of immediate humanitarian assistance.

The aim of the 2019 Yemen Contingency Plan is to ensure that critical lifesaving assistance is provided to affected people in need within 72 hours and for up to 30 days in case resources to address these needs are not available through regular programming.

This plan is not exhaustive or predictive. It is based on available information and aims to contribute to a more coordinated and effective humanitarian response among humanitarian actors in Yemen. This plan is a living document, with scenario-related displacement figures and response plans updated should the situation on the ground change significantly. All coordination bodies involved in the plan will regularly monitor developments, needs and response efforts on the ground. The plan is framed by a protection risk analysis to guide response efforts and promote a more principled humanitarian response.

Implementation modalities The Contingency Plan is being facilitated and operationalized through the Operations Centre (OpsCen), which will make all decisions on the release of contingency stocks in agreement with Regional Coordination Teams. The aim of this line of effort is to channel support to a partner(s) which will be responsible for providing ware-housing, transport and storage for selected pipelines of critical relief items in all hubs, as a common service. Some agency specific stock may also be held separately under this plan, if the concerned agency agrees to the above-mentioned management modality.

YEMEN CONTINGENCY PLAN - 2019

Although FSAC and health are included in the national contingency plan, their respective stocks will not be managed through the above-mentioned common service approach.

The OpsCen will keep track of stock levels in close coordination with the RCTs. Once stock has been released, the OpsCen will work to facilitate re-stocking as soon as possible.

Situation Overview High levels of humanitarian needs continued to be reported in the first six months of 2019 in Yemen, driven by conflict and political dynamics. Humanitarian conditions continue to deteriorate, including an increase in cholera caseloads from February to May 2019.

Thus far in 2019, approximately 45,200 households, or 271,000 individuals (DTM Figures) have been displaced. This constitutes a 60 percent increase compared to the 169,000 displaced within the same timeframe in 2018. The largest displacement incident occurred in Kushar (Hajjah) and neighboring districts in late February. This was followed by large scale displacement from Abs (Hajjah) at the end of March/beginning of April. However, displacement numbers have remained at relatively lower levels since April.

Looking ahead, displacement is anticipated to continue in proportion to the intensity of conflict. Displacement triggers a wide range of needs, for immediate assistance and medium-to longer-term support. An estimated 83 percent of IDPs are women and children, who are among the most vulnerable groups and are disproportionately affected by the conflict. The most frequently identified priority needs are food, shelter and drinking water, with recent IDPs prioritizing immediate, life-saving assistance.

Risk Analysis

Critical Assumptions Mitigation Measures Delay in identifying people with vulnerabilities due to sudden • Rely on community-based structures (protection networks, health displacement to provide timely response volunteers, DTM, etc.) and authorities to collect ‘trigger’ information • Monitor the situation closely and maintain communication with field partners (especially national partners) for early warning signs Lack of access to populations in affected areas limits the provision • Advocate for unhindered access and ability to conduct proper needs and the type of services available assessments and consultations with all affected populations to inform the programming and priorities of the response, the tailoring of services and the rational expansion of services, in line with the evolving situation on the ground. • Pre-positioning main items in areas where access is expected to be extremely challenging • Map out local partners that are capable of responding in expected hard-to-reach areas Difficult to expand services in underserved areas that can keep • Advocate for expansion of the availability and the coverage of mobile pace with the increased needs interventions To receive services, there is a risk of movement creating obstacles • Ensure information sharing with community members on services for persons with limited mobility and resulting in exclusion from available. Ensure consultation with communities, including access assistance barriers for those with injuries/ impairments. Increase mobile activities where relevant • Activate referrals system between first responders (such as RRM) and actors with ongoing response

2. SCENARIOS AND HUMANITARIAN IMPLICATIONS

Scenarios

Based on prevailing conflict dynamics, and working humanitarian projections, the below tables outline two planning scenarios for the coming six months (September 2019 - February 2020) in Yemen, with special attention to potential displacement patterns. The first constitutes a ‘most likely’ scenario, in which multiple frontlines remain active mostly in less densely populated areas, and no major natural disasters occur. The second scenario, by contrast, is based on projections of a ‘worse case’ scenario in which one or more active frontline lines experience a significant military escalation, including with active armed conflict in populated areas. A potential natural disaster is also reflected in the scenario.

Most Likely Scenario: Multiple frontlines remain active Worst Case Scenario: Significant escalation across one or several mostly in less densely populated areas. No major natural active frontlines. Major cyclone lands in coastal and interior disasters. Up to 25,450 HH Displaced (178,150 people) areas. Up to 160,500 HH Displaced (1.1 million people)
