No results found.

Conflicts and natural disasters in Yemen severely constrain agriculture-related income, which drives farmers, particularly young men, to search for more remunerative sources of income. In response, with generous support from Kuwait, FAO implemented project OSRO/YEM/906/KUW with the overall project objective to enhance food security through improving farmers’ access to water resources for agricultural production and promoting economic self-reliance in Hadramout Governorate.

Evaluation of the project “Water for Peace in Yemen: Strengthening the role of women in water conflict resolution”
Project code: UNJP/YEM/039/PBF

The project ‘Water for Peace in Yemen: Strengthening the role of women in water conflict resolution’ was funded by the United Nations Secretary-General's Peacebuilding Fund (PBF). The project was implemented jointly by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Hadramout Ministry of Water and Environment, and the Women Water Users Groups (WWUG). The ‘Water for Peace in Yemen’ project aimed at contributing to the mitigation of water-based conflicts that have affected agriculture, with the inclusion of women as conflict-resolution agents. Farming communities (men, women and youth) were engaged by the project to resolve local conflicts over upstream and downstream water allocation. Moreover, the project aimed to introduce drought-tolerant as well as salt-tolerant crops as a climate change mitigation measure in a cash-for-work (CFW) modality. The evaluation found that the project's main achievements were the institutionalization of this role through the water user associations (WUAs) and strengthening the role of women within their communities.
