FAO - Water and Agriculture Resilience Programme

active

The aim of the project is to strengthen the resilience of the local population in the current crisis by rehabilitating infrastructure in the areas of irrigation and agriculture. The project includes 1) the construction and rehabilitation of agricultural irrigation infrastructure, 2) the creation of employment and income opportunities using the cash-for-work (CfW) method, 3) the strengthening of local governance structures in the water sector to increase climate resilience and reduce conflict through appropriate support measures for water user associations (WUAs). The measures are implemented in such a way that job and income opportunities are created for poor population groups in rural areas of Yemen. A central aspect of the project, which is intended to contribute to increasing the resilience of the population, is the implementation of CfW activities. The target group of the project is the population of rural Yemen at various locations in the north and south of the country.
