Yemen - WFP Additional H-Cash Allocation 2023

Progetto concluso

Switzerland supports operations of the World Food Programme (WFP) in 28 SDC priority countries. It funds Country Strategy Plans, incorporating all WFP programmes/projects, based on affected population needs. In Yemen, despite multiple challenges, the food and nutrition response combined with the positive effects of the truce, led to the country taking a step back from the edge of famine. But the outlook remains dire, not least because of increasingly fragmented and contentious operating environment, and funding shortfalls.

Contesto Founded in 1961, the UN World Food Programme (WFP) is the world’s largest humanitarian agency saving and changing lives, delivering food assistance in emergencies and working to improve nutrition and build resilience. Against the 2020 COVID-19 crisis, climate shocks and an unprecedented number of violent conflicts since World War 2, food insecurity is reaching record levels on all continents.
In Yemen, the volatile security situation and shrinking humanitarian space, high food prices, depreciation of local currency and disrupted livelihoods remain the major factors of acute food insecurity. WFP’s ability to deliver a principled response was further hampered by a notable increase in attempts at interference, bureaucratic hurdles and delays, as well as movement and access restrictions. Over 21 million people require humanitarian assistance in 2023, and 17.4 million people are estimated to be food insecure.
Obiettivi

WFP’s mission is a world in which every man, woman and child has access at all times to the food needed for an active and healthy life. 

The vision for 2030 underlying WFP’s strategic plan for 2022-2025 is that the world has eradicated food insecurity and malnutrition (SDG 2 - Zero Hunger) and national and global actors have achieved the SDGs (SDG 17 - Partnerships for the Goals). 

The overall goal of WFP is providing immediate food assistance in life-threatening situations while supporting countries in ensuring no one is left behind. 

In the case of Yemen, the Interim Country Strategic Plan (ICSP) 2023-2025 seeks to respond to humanitarian needs as a result of the conflict, while addressing systemic causes.
