    In Yemen, 2012

    Updated Food Security Monitoring Survey Yemen Final Report September 2013 Updated Food Security Monitoring Survey (UFSMS), Yemen, Sept. 2013 Foreword Food insecurity and malnutrition are currently among the biggest challenges facing Yemen. Chronic malnutrition in the country is unacceptably high – the second highest rate in the world. Most of Yemen’s governorates are at critical level according to classifications by the World Health Organization. While the ongoing social safety net support provided by the government’s Social Welfare Fund has prevented many poor households from sliding into total destitution, WFP’s continued humanitarian aid operations in collaboration with government and partners have helped more than 5 million severely food insecure people to manage through difficult times in 2012 and 2013. However, their level of vulnerability has remained high, as most of those food insecure people have been forced to purchase food on credit, become more indebted and to use other negative coping strategies - and their economic condition has worsened during the past two years. Currently, about 10.5 million people in Yemen are food insecure, of whom 4.5 million are severely food insecure and over 6 million moderately food insecure. The major causes of the high levels of food insecurity and malnutrition include unemployment, a reduction in remittances, deterioration in economic growth, extreme poverty, high population growth, volatility of prices of food and other essential commodities, increasing cost of living including unaffordable health expenses, and insecurity. While the high level of negative coping strategies being used by food-insecure households continues, the food security outlook does not look better in 2014, as the major causes of current food insecurity are likely to persist in the coming months, and may also be aggravated by various factors such as uncertainties in the political process, declining purchasing power, and continued conflicts and the destruction of vital infrastructure including oil pipelines and electricity power lines.

The conflict in Yemen deteriorated the country’s already fragile health system and lead to the collapse of more than half of the health facilities. Health system fragmentation is also a problem in Yemen, which is complicated by the existence of two health ministries with different strategies. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of health system fragmentation on the implementation of health policies in Yemen across the global agendas of Universal Health Coverage (UHC), Health Security (GHS) and Health Promotion (HP) in the context of WHO’s priorities achieving universal health coverage, addressing health emergencies and promoting healthier populations. Methods: The study is qualitative research using key informant in-depth interviews and documents analysis. Results: There are many health stakeholders in Yemen, including the public, private, and NGO sectors - each with different priorities and interests, which did not always align with national policies and strategies.

I hope that this report will contribute the promotion of the Project and the enhancement of friendly relations between our two countries. Finally, I wish to express my sincere application to the officials concerned of the Government of the Republic of Yemen for their close cooperation extended to the team.
