SDC supports since September 2011 the INGO Forum and the project has so far contributed considerably to the coordination between and guidance to the INGO community in Yemen. Nevertheless, INGOs still face a number of challenges in engaging with other stakeholders including the Government of Yemen, Yemeni civil society, Western and Arab donors and the United Nations. Supporting Phase II of the INGO Forum project will promote humanitarian assistance and development work in the country through the establishment of a southern INGO Forum in Aden, the production of an INGO manual of procedures, and the participation in the Mutual Accountability Framework (MAF) setting.

Il progetto in breve

Contesto	Yemen is facing a complex emergency that includes widespread conflict-driven displacement and a slow-onset crisis in food security, malnutrition and outbreak of communicable diseases, particularly water-borne diseases. Additionally, there are around 250’000 refugees and a much bigger but unknown number of migrants from the Horn of Africa in Yemen. Paired with the above factors, the current political instability and transitional process as well as the accompanying economic impact are setting the stage for more interventions by INGOs. The existing INGO coordination structures in the country have grown over the past years, but there is still a need for strengthening the coordination of INGOs activities, building on the achievements of the project’s Phase 1.
