To transport food aid, the World Food Programme (WFP) primarily contracts with third-party transport carriers in markets that are not well understood. We analyze historical contracts between the WFP in Ethiopia and private carriers using multiple linear regression to gain insights in these markets. Analyses of bids and contracts in Ethiopia show that distance alone explains less than 20% of the variability in effective transportation tariffs. By incorporating additional variables for linehaul costs, market structure measures and socio- economics factors, we obtain a model that explains more than 84% of the variability for the international corridors and 78% for the domestic lanes.

YEMEN The Republic of Yemen, comprising the former (northern) Yemen Arab Republic (YAR) and (southern) People's Democratic Republic of Yemen, was proclaimed in 1990. Following a brief but bloody civil war in mid-1994, the country was reunified under the Sana'a-based Government. Ali Abdullah Saleh is the President and leader of the General People's Congress (GPC.) He was elected by the legislature in 1994 to a 5-year term. The Constitution provides that henceforth the President is to be elected by popular vote from at least two candidates selected by the Parliament. The Government has scheduled a popular election for president in late 1999. The first Parliament elected by universal adult suffrage was convened in 1993. Parliamentary elections were held in 1997, with the Yemeni Socialist Party (YSP), formerly the main party of the south and a previous coalition partner, leading an opposition boycott. The GPC won an absolute majority of the new Parliament, with Islaah the only other major party represented.

  • Yemen's Fractured South: Aden, Abyan, and Lahij
    1/17/2020 Yemen’s Fractured South: Aden, Abyan, and Lahij Yemen’s Fractured South: Aden, Abyan, and Lahij acleddata.com/2019/12/18/yemens-fractured-south-aden-abyan-and-lahij/ Emile Roy, Luca Nevola December 18, 2019 In Yemen, more than five years of conflict have contributed to an extreme fragmentation of central power and authority and have eroded local political orders. Local structures of authority have emerged, along with a plethora of para-state agents and militias at the behest of local elites and international patrons. According to the UN Panel of Experts, despite the disappearance of central authority, “Yemen, as a State, has all but ceased to exist,” replaced by distinct statelets fighting against one another (UN Panel of Experts, 26 January 2018). This is the third and final report of a three-part analysis series (ACLED, 9 May 2019; ACLED, 31 May 2019) exploring the fragmentation of state authority in Southern Yemen, where a secessionist body – the Southern Transitional Council (STC) – has established itself, not without contestation, as the “legitimate representative” of the Southern people (Southern Transitional Council, 7 December 2018). Since its emergence in 2017, the STC has evolved into a state-like entity with an executive body (the Leadership Council), a legislature (the Southern National Assembly), and armed forces, although the latter are under the virtual command structure of the Interior Ministry in the internationally-recognized government of President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi. Investigating conflict dynamics in seven southern governorates, these reports seek to highlight how Southern Yemen is all but a monolithic unit, reflecting the divided loyalties and aspirations of its political communities.
