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.
Our impact
With a community-level focus and working with key implementing partners, UNDP in Yemen aims to restore livelihoods, promote social cohesion, and foster a secure environment to create resilience now and in a post-conflict Yemen.
Our current priorities are: (a) supporting a peaceful solution and transition; (b) economic recovery and livelihood; (c) restoring key basic services; and (d) empowering women, youth, and vulnerable groups.
