Enhanced Rural Resilience in Yemen (UNJP with WFP, UNDP and funded by EC)

The three-year joint programme “Enhanced Rural Resilience in Yemen” (ERRY) will be implemented by FAO, ILO, UNDP and WFP in four governorates: Hajjah, Hodeidah, Lahj and Abyan. The overall objective of the programme is to enhance the resilience and self-reliance of crisis-affected rural communities through support to livelihoods stabilisation and recovery, local governance and improved access to sustainable energy. ERRY will achieve two outcomes: Outcome 1: Communities are better able to manage local risks and shocks for increased economic self-reliance and enhanced social cohesion. Outcome 2: Institutions are responsive, accountable and effective to deliver services, build the social contract and meet community identified needs. Within its three year timeframe, the following results will be achieved: • Output 1.1: Community livelihoods and productive assets are improved to strengthen resilience and economic self-reliance • Output 1.2: Communities benefit from improved and more sustainable livelihoods opportunities through better access to solar energy • Output 1.3: Informal networks promote social cohesion through community dialogue and delivery of services • Output 2.1: Functions, financing and capacity of local authorities enabled to deliver improved basic services and respond to public priorities • Output 2.2: Increased capacity of local actors and strengthened partnership of private sector to enhance collective actions, aid delivery and economic recovery Target groups will focus on the most vulnerable such as women, the unemployed, youth, the Muhamasheen, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and stressed host communities, using inclusive, participatory and conflict-sensitive tools to mobilise and involve them in the proposed activities. Active partnerships with local authorities, the private sector, communities, the Social Fund for Development (SFD) and NGOs will be sought for the successful implementation of the programme
