FactsheetHand in Hand Initiative in Yemen: Support to Establishing an Inclusive National Comprehensive Policy and Investment Framework for Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Security and Resilience - TCP/YEM/3802 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Yemen, despite possessing substantial agricultural and economic potential, currently faces one of the world's most extensive humanitarian crises. Its population is confronted with constant threats to both lives and livelihoods. Pre-existing challenges have been exacerbated by the ongoing conflict and the COVID19 pandemic, which significantly impacted the agricultural sector. Historically a vital component of the country's economy, employing over 50 percent of the workforce, the agricultural sector has experienced a noticeable decline in contribution to the gross domestic product in recent years. The conflict has specifically resulted in a decrease in agricultural output due to resource limitations, infrastructure damage, and disrupted services. Despite these challenges, the agricultural sector has demonstrated resilience, displaying the lowest negative growth rates, and continues holding the potential to contribute significantly to the revitalization of the Yemeni economy.
