Amount: US$ 8 million equivalent. Terms: Standard. Beneficiaries: The Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries. Project Objectives and Description: The proposed project is the first phase of an agricultural development program in the Central Highlands region of YAR. The key objective of the project is to increase farm income through production and productivity increases. The project would consist of: establishment of an extension service including construction of buildings, recruitment and training of extension staff, and provision of equipment; construction of 15 rural water supply schemes; studies of a possible second phase project; setting up of an organization for the project's implementation; and technical assistance. The project would benefit about 45,000 people. Yields of crops are projected to increase by 40-60% resulting in net farm benefit increases of over 70%. The project would also help to improve the quality of life of the rural population by providing them with potable water. The main risk is possible slow start-up of the project resulting from delay in establishing the project organization. Timely employment of local and internationally recruited staff, and early initiation of the recruitment and training of extension staff would minimize the risk. The Government realizes this

  • Yemen Six Month Economic Analysis Economic Warfare & The
    HUMANITARIAN AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME Yemen Six Month Economic Analysis Economic Warfare & the Humanitarian Context January 2017 HUMANITARIAN FORESIGHT THINK TANK HUMANITARIAN FORESIGHT THINK TANK Yemen Six Month Economic Analysis / January 2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY An inclusive political solution to the conflict is unlikely in the next six months, despite the high possibility of state economic collapse and a metastasizing humanitarian crisis across the country. President Hadi’s refusal to accept the terms of a recent UN peace plan is likely stalling Saudi financial relief and threatens to fracture his support base in the south. Meanwhile, the crippled state economy is supporting a thriving shadow economy, which will fragment power structures on both sides of the conflict as stakeholders engage in war profiteering. Not only will this diminish the chances for unity in the long run, it also increases food insecurity and poverty for the most vulnerable, while benefiting those in power who already dominate the parallel market. Amidst this turmoil, AQAP and IS influence will increase. This report will examine the economic context affecting humanitarian needs in Yemen, and present scenarios offering potential trajectories of the conflict to assist in humanitarian preparedness. Source: Ali Zifan (6 December 2016), Insurgency in Yemen detailed map, Wikipedia INTRODUCTION The slow progress in the war between the internationally-recognized Yemeni government of Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi and the Zaidi Shia Houthi-Ali Abdallah Saleh alliance has caused the Saudi- backed Hadi coalition to instrumentalise the Yemeni economy, conducting a war of attrition. As Sanaa’s Central Bank of Yemen (CBY) hemorrhaged through its reserves in the previous two years of war, growing criticism of the governor’s alleged complicity in Houthi embezzlement culminated in the 18 September decision by the Hadi government to move the CBY from the Houthi-controlled capital to Aden and position a new governor to run the institution.

  • Militarized Childhood a Report on the Houthis’ Recruitment of Yemeni Children During War
    Militarized Childhood A report on the Houthis’ recruitment of Yemeni children during war Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor SAM for Rights and Liberties February 2021 Contents Introduction 4 Child soldiers recruited by the Houthi group: statistics 7 Strategies used in recruiting children 10 Geographical distribution of children recruited by the Houthis 12 Tasks, punishments, and impacts related to child recruitment 13 Houthis’ child training camps 14 Testimonies of child soldiers recruited by the Houthis 23 Child victims recruited by the Houthis 31 Legal background 32 Recommendations 33 Introduction Child recruitment and use by armed forces is one of the gravest violations that Yemeni children fall victim to as Yemen has been witnessing wars and armed conflicts for several years. This phenomenon emerged in Yemen since the era of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, when the Ministry of Defense started to accept children under the age of 15 years old into their ranks. Tribal sheikhs also sent their children to war to secure their monthly salaries the government paid at the time. However, this phenomenon significantly diminished after pressures imposed on the Saleh regime, especially after Yemen had signed several international child rights agreements. On the other hand, armed groups in Yemen, especially the Houthis, sought Militarizing Childhood 4 to recruit children to reinforce their capabilities. The Houthis have been exploiting child soldiers since they waged a war against the Hajour al-Sham tribes in Hajjah Governorate in early 2012; their war on the Dammaj area in Saada governorate in 2013; and at a greater pace, in 2014, after they seized power in Yemen and the battles expanded.
