| Contesto | Yemen faces one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, driven by prolonged conflict, political instability, and economic collapse. These conditions have weakened institutions, deepened poverty, and eroded food security, especially in rural areas already strained by environmental degradation and climate shocks. Short-term aid has eased immediate suffering but fails to tackle root causes. There is an urgent need to shift toward sustainable, resilience-based development where the context allows. |
| Obiettivi | An economically self-reliant, climate resilient, and food-secure Yemen ist built by strenthening food systems and creating inclusive, and market-driven livelihoods. |
