ESPECRP Factsheet: Improving Food Security Resilience and Sustainable Livelihoods for Yemenis
June 4, 2023
Funded and supported by the World Bank's International Development Association and in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Emergency Social Protection Enhancement and COVID-19 Response Project (ESPECRP) is implemented across Yemen by the Social Fund for Development (SFD), the Public Works Project (PWP), and the Small and Micro Enterprise Promotion Service (SMEPS).
The US$ 232.9 million ESPECRP is designed to support geo-focused interventions through a combination of emergency and development initiatives and target them to areas with high food insecurity and malnutrition—this is in line with the World Bank’s approach to improve food security resilience and sustainable livelihoods for Yemenis.
