March 24, 2024

Through targeted and integrated solutions, the programme addresses root issues, leveraging an area-based approach to build resilience and create sustainable employment opportunities.

By examining the programme's effects, this study sheds light on its success in building sustainable job opportunities and improving food security in one of Yemen's most severely affected areas.

Funded generously by the European Union and Government of Sweden, the Supporting Resilient Livelihoods, Food Security, and Climate Adaptation in Yemen Joint Programme (ERRY III Joint Programme) brings together the expertise of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), International Labour Organization (ILO), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and World Food Programme (WFP). Together, they work towards enhancing the resilience of crisis-affected communities in Yemen by establishing sustainable livelihoods, enhancing food security, and facilitating access to basic services.
