  • Phase 3: Emergency Response for Idps, Returnees, and Conflict-Affected Communities in Yemen AID-OFDA-G-17-00295
    Phase 3: Emergency Response for IDPs, Returnees, and Conflict-Affected Communities in Yemen AID-OFDA-G-17-00295 Context: In the North, the Houthi-controlled part of Yemen experienced major political and security crisis due to the disagreement created within the coalition groups-formed government in Sana'a which lately broke out to overt conflict that claimed the lives of many in the capital, including that of the ex-president Ali Abdallah Salah. These incidences had restricted the movement of citizens and impeded the work of humanitarian aid workers, which delayed program implementation as many organizations were closed for weeks. The bureaucratic procedures to travel to the field remained challenging during the reporting period. Processing sub-agreements, MoU signing with sector ministerial offices and obtaining field travel permits have become more complicated than before and requires long negotiations with the authorities. Additionally, there is confusion regarding roles of the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MOPIC), Minister of Interior (MOI) and the newly-established National Agency for Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Response office. Moreover, the ongoing conflict in the country has led to office closure numerous times, particularly in Taiz, which in turn disrupted fieldwork and delayed program implementation coupled with the reasons mentioned above. In Taiz there has been repeated attempts to raid the Mercy Corps enclave office, detaining staff, intimidate Mercy Corps staff and other threats that led to several program suspension. Moreover, during the reporting period, isolated cases of assassinations by unknown armed groups, criminal activities has increased in the hotspot areas like Taiz and even in Sana’a.

  • YEMEN Food Security Outlook October 2015 to March 2016
    YEMEN Food Security Outlook October 2015 to March 2016 Deteriorating outcomes likely with continued reductions in income and increased food prices KEY MESSAGES Figure 1. Current food security outcomes, October 2015 In Yemen, important information gaps remain. Nonetheless, recent data from WFP mVAM surveys, household interviews, a UNICEF SMART survey, and NGO partners all confirm that a significant population faces severe acute food insecurity. These data, along with information on water availability, food prices, and income, also suggest that food security has deteriorated substantially since last year. It is likely that significant populations are facing Emergency (IPC Phase 4) outcomes, especially those trapped in active conflict areas or displaced. The risk of acute malnutrition also remains high due to the high disease burden and reduced access to health care. Although information is limited, it is likely that at least six million people are currently in need of food assistance. Although vital assistance is being provided by humanitarian partners, the scale of current needs is well beyond response Source: FEWS NET capacity.

A continuation of current trends of reduced household income and increased food prices could lead to deteriorating food security outcomes in the coming months. In late October, reports indicated that the Yemeni rial (YER) began to depreciate against the U.S.
