P007430001: March 2019 - Yemen is currently the world’s largest humanitarian crisis, with 24.1 million people in need of humanitarian assistance, including 14.3 million that require immediate life-saving assistance. The conflict and collapsing economy has pushed nearly 10 million people to the brink of famine, and a total of 4.3 million people have been displaced over the last four years. Yemen is also facing one of the worst cholera epidemics in recorded history, as well as a diphtheria outbreak, the scale of which is compounded by the dire state of water, sanitation and hygiene infrastructure and health services. Nearly half of health facilities have been destroyed or are only partially functioning, stocks of medical supplies are low, and many health professionals are working for free or receiving substantially reduced wages. Women and girls are disproportionately affected by the lack of access to essential services and face an increased risk of sexual and gender-based violence due to the crisis.

With GAC’s support, Action Against Hunger is providing emergency food, livelihoods, water, sanitation and hygiene to up to 71,000 conflict-affected people in the Lahj and Abyan governorates in the south of Yemen. This project aims to reduce the risk of cholera, and the use of negative coping mechanisms within the targeted communities, paying particular attention to the needs of women and girls. Project activities include: (1) providing cash assistance; (2) promoting hygiene (including menstrual hygiene); and (3) rehabilitating water and sanitation facilities.

This project is part of Canada’s Women’s Voice and Leadership Program, which supports local and regional women’s organisations and networks that are working to promote women’s rights, and advance women’s empowerment and gender equality in developing countries.
