The Public Works Project: a Successful Partner for the Donor Community
Based on World Bank data, Yemen has experienced a significant 52% decline in real GDP per capita over the past seven years. This economic contraction has left approximately 21.6 million Yemenis, which constitutes two-thirds of the population, requiring urgent humanitarian aid. The country faces additional challenges, including escalating commodity prices and the impact of climate change. For vulnerable Yemeni families, the threat of food insecurity looms large, making it a critical concern in the current landscape. Over 17 million people in Yemen are grappling with food insecurity, highlighting the severity of the situation.

An environmental, social, and economic impact assessment was carried out for the interventions that were completed during a period ranging from 3-6 months to measure whether they have had any impact in improving the living conditions of vulnerable communities and the level of food security and whether they addressed the negative impacts of climate change.
