UNDP Yemen

Our objective

UNDP acknowledges the desire of Yemenis to live peaceful and dignified lives, not dependent upon foreign assistance. In addition to responding to the most urgent humanitarian needs, UNDP projects are designed to restore livelihoods, strengthen resilience to future challenges, and lay the foundation for long-term development while addressing gender gaps in a country that ranks 155 out of 156 countries in the 2021 World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Index.
