    FACT SHEET #9, FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2012 JUNE 22, 2012 YEMEN – COMPLEX EMERGENCY KEY DEVELOPMENTS From June 19 to 21, USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah traveled to Yemen to discuss humanitarian and development issues in the country with high-level representatives from the Republic of Yemen Government (RoYG)—including President Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi and Foreign Minister Abu Bakr al-Qirbi—and members of the international humanitarian and development communities. During the visit, Administrator Shah announced plans to provide up to $52 million in additional U.S. Government (USG) assistance to Yemen, including approximately $23 million in humanitarian assistance. Administrator Shah’s announcement brings total USG humanitarian and development assistance in FY 2012 to approximately $170 million, including nearly $105 million in humanitarian assistance. The additional humanitarian assistance will help address the humanitarian needs of conflict-affected populations across Yemen through the distribution of emergency relief supplies and food assistance, as well as support for nutrition and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) interventions. Prior to Administrator Shah’s visit, Nancy Lindborg, Assistant Administrator for USAID’s Bureau for Democracy, Conflict, and Humanitarian Assistance (AA/DCHA), traveled to Yemen’s capital city of Sana’a from June 1 to 3 to discuss humanitarian issues with the RoYG, U.S. Embassy in Sana’a, USAID/Yemen, and international humanitarian community representatives. During her visit, AA/DCHA Lindborg announced an additional $6.5 million in humanitarian assistance to Yemen to address the needs of vulnerable and conflict-affected populations in the country. On May 12, RoYG forces launched an offensive aimed at reclaiming towns and cities controlled by militant groups in Abyan Governorate.

    Yemen Report to the Committee on the Rights of the Child in Advance

    Yemen Report to the Committee on the Rights of the Child in advance of Yemen’s initial periodic report on the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict March 2013 Child Soldiers International 9 Marshalsea Road London SE1 1EP United Kingdom Tel: +44 (0) 20 7367 4110 Fax: +44 (0) 20 7367 4129 [email protected] Director: Richard Clarke Who are child soldiers? Child Soldiers International considers the term child soldier to be equivalent to the following description of children associated with armed forces or groups: A child associated with an armed force or armed group refers to any person below 18 years of age who is, or who has been, recruited or used by an armed force or armed group in any capacity, including but not limited to children, boys and girls, used as fighters, cooks, porters, spies or for sexual purposes. It does not only refer to a child who is taking, or has taken, a direct part in hostilities. Child Soldiers International was formerly the Coalition to Stop the use of Child Soldiers. Child Soldiers International is an international human rights research and advocacy organi- zation. Child Soldiers International seeks to end and prevent the military recruitment and use in hostilities of child soldiers (boys and girls below the age of 18), and other human rights abuses resulting from their association with armed forces or groups. It seeks the release of child soldiers from armed forces or groups, promotes their successful return to civilian life and accountability for those who recruit and use them.
