The project support the ongoing international response to the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, now compounded by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, by promoting self-reliance for displaced and vulnerable women in areas affected by the conflict through livelihoods and protection interventions. The project supports women’s access to livelihoods and protection from all forms of violence while supporting them to be agents of change and decision-makers within the current crisis context.
To support the achievement of the project’s intended outcomes, UN Women is looking for partnerships with 2/3 NGOs to deliver on holding consultations with women leaders and youth groups on their priorities for humanitarian response.
Provide capacity building for women and youth CSOs to address the needs, problems and challenges they face within their communities including issues that refugee, IDP’s and returnees are facing and provide dialogue spaces for peace co-existence including organizing awareness raising activities around peacebuilding and peaceful coexistence themes. Activities under this partnership will need to reach and support displaced women and women from marginalized communities affected by the conflict and/or experiencing the detrimental effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
