Yemen Greenhouse Project

Yemen presents critical severity in food security and are classified in IPC Phase 4 (Emergency) and in IPC Phase 3 (Crisis). Food insecurity is more severe in areas with active fighting or bordering areas with limited access, and is particularly affecting Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and marginalized groups. The caseload in Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5) is mainly found in Abyan, Al Jawf, Hajjah and Marib. In Al Abyan, conflict, displacement and limited humanitarian access are the main drivers, also the highly vulnerable marginalized groups such as landless wage labourers and lack of access to public services such as water, sanitation and health are the primary causes. Overall, there are more than 4 million IDPs in Yemen who face comparatively worse food security outcomes. The projection assumes that all beneficiaries will receive 50% assistance in January – June, any further reductions (including the possibility of zero assistance) coupled with other shock could be lead to heightened food insecurity levels, including further populations falling into IPC phase 5 (Catastrophe).
