Water-related Conflict Assessment Report

Water-related Conflict Assessment Report

January 9, 2023

This analysis report is a part of the Resilience Programme in the Irrigation and Agricultural Sector project, which is funded by the German Development Bank (KfW) and implemented in Yemen by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

This report is an analysis of water related conflicts of Abyan (Khanfar and Zinjibar districts), Dhamar (Jabal Al-Sharq district), and Hadhramout (Al-Qatn and Shibam districts) governorates, with two main objectives: to build evidence, knowledge and understanding of water-conflicts, and to provide conflict-sensitive programming recommendations, ensuring that unintended negative impacts generated by project implementation are minimised and positive impact generation is maximized.
