PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Initial situation:
Yemen has been one of the last places in the Global Hunger Index (GHI) ranking for years. According to the 2023 GHI, the hunger situation is classified as "very serious". Shaped by the devastating civil war of recent years, the social and economic situation of the population is steadily deteriorating. More frequent extreme weather events are exacerbating the situation. The United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) estimates that around three quarters of the population is dependent on humanitarian assistance.
Women and children are particularly affected. According to UNICEF, a child dies every ten minutes in Yemen from a preventable disease. 2.2 million children under the age of five and around 1.3 million pregnant and breastfeeding women suffer from acute malnutrition.
Objective:
The food security of vulnerable households in the Al Mahwit and Lahij governorates is improved.
Approach:
The project promotes vulnerable households to be more resilient to crises through climate-smart and nutrition-sensitive agriculture. The focus is on a healthy and balanced diet.
1.) The project supports farmers who are or will be involved in dairy farming and mixed crop cultivation on coffee fields. Training and the provision of material goods increase the availability of nutrient-rich food and income.
2.) The project trains and advises on skills for hygienic and nutrient-rich nutrition. This includes production, storage, processing and consumption.
