IaRD 17511 (PPA) - 1 - PROJECT PERFORMANCE AUDIT REPORT YEMEN ARAB REPUBLIC SOUTHERN UPLANDS RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT (CREDIT 545-YAR) PREFACE This is a performance audit of the Yemen Arab Republic Southern Uplands Rural Development Project, for which Credit 545-YAR in the amount of US$10.0 million was approved on May 6, 1975 under the special procedure. The Credit was fully disbursed and closed on March 31, 1982, without delay. The final disbursement was made on June 10, 1982. The Project was followed by Southern Uplands Rural Development Project II, which was partially financed by Credit 1067-YAR in the amount oi US$17.0 million, and was approved on September 16, 1980. This audit consists of a memorandum prepared by the Operations Evaluation Department (OED), a Project Completion Overview (PCO), and a Project Completion Report (PCR). The PCO, of June 30, 1983, was prepared by the Europe, Middle East and North Africa Regional Office and the PCR, dated December 1982, was prepared by Southern Uplands Rural Development Unit (SURDU) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries. The audit memorandum is based on a review of the Appraisal Report (No. 617-YAR) dated April 4, 1975, the President's Report (P-1497-YAR) of April 17, 1975, and the Development Credit Agreement dated May 13, 1975, together with information obtained from a review of project issues as contained in relevant Bank files and interviews with Bank staff who have been associated with the project. An OED mission which visited Yemen Arab Republic in July-August 1983 held discussions with Government and project officials and beneficiaries and reviewed project investments and programs. These interviews and observations also contributed to the conclusions of the audit as contained in the audit memorandum. The audit suggested some technical changes in the PCO and PCR which were accepted and have been included therein. On the basis of the above procedure, the audit concludes that the PCO and PCR together generally provide an adequate accounting of the project's background, implementation and impact. However, the audit elaborates on the problems of institution- building and measurement of project benefits which are important for current or possible future rural development projects to be supported by Bank/IDA financing in the Yemen Arab Republic as well as other countries. Copies of the draft version of this report were sent to the Borrower and cofinancier on January 4, 1984 for comments; however, none were received. OED acknowledges the valuable assistance and information provided to the audit mission by Government and project officials and beneficiaries which contributed significantly to the compilation and conclusions of this report.

  • Chapter 4: Results and Discussions
    CHAPTER 4: RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS 4.1 Regional 4.1.1 Description of weekly markets in the region The system of local weekly markets (LWM) in the region is an old tradition. Weekly markets used to be as a place for economic transactions, and for social interactions for instant communications, transfers of information, political discussions, and arbitrating legal conflicts between traders and consumers. It is not uncommon there to solve the problems between people of the area under the rule of the leader (ash-Sheikh). a) Market distribution There are some characters that control the distribution of the LWM over the region either in Taiz province or other province. These characters are, population densities, commodities enter the market, location of the market, in which is reachable by great deal of people and finally it must be near and/or easy to reach by the available transportation facilities. Therefore, LWMs were established in the past due to the need and to facilitate distribution of the commodities. Some of the LWMs were used as transit stations for commodities to transfer them to another region (Fig. 4.1a and 4.1b). For example, Al-Musallah’s market (No. 10 Fig. 4.1), which is located southeast Al-Mawasit District; in which the agricultural products from Al-Hujjariah, especially from Al-Mawasit, Sama’ As-Salu districts areas, such as vegetables (potatoes), coffee and other products were carried to Al-Musallah’s market. In turn these products were transferred to Aden by trucks that brought imported commodities from Aden Seaport, to Al-Musallah’s market to transfer them to the region or to the area around Taiz and to Tihama region.

  • Needs Assessment Displacement Movement in Taiz Governorate
    Needs Assessment Displacement Movement in Taiz Governorate Needs Assessment Displacement Movement in Taiz Governorate Introduction Taiz Governorate is one of the 22 governorates of Yemen and it is located in the south west of Yemen. It has an area of 10,677 km2 and a population that reached over 3 million with a density of 230/km2. Taiz city is the governorate's capital, the third largest city in Yemen. Taiz Governorate is divided administratively into 23 districts. Since the fighting broke out in Yemen, Taiz has been one of the most affected governorates with a very high density of IDPs. The conflict which reached the governorate in April,2015 exposed civilians to risk and resulted into massive internal displacement. The first displacement was in April 2015 when fierce fighting broke out inside Taiz city and the adjacent districts: Saber Almawdem and Mashra'a wa Hadnan. Then the conflict has increased rapidly and expanded to new districts including Almesrakh, Haifan, , Samea, Alselw, and Meqbana which witnessed high displacement movement to the nearby safe areas and adjacent districts like Ashamayatain, Almawest, Mawiyah and Sharab. Around 60% of the IDPs fled their villages living with their relatives and/or friends increasing the burden on the hosting community. About 70% of the IDPs settled with hosting communities and 30% at public institutions and in open areas. Recently the escalation of the conflict has increased and reached the coastal districts of Taiz governorate namely, Almukha, Dhubab and Moza'a that are near the red sea. The majority of people living there have been affected by the current conflict and fled to the interior areas as well as the adjacent districts to find a safer place.
