disaster affecting local communities in remote areas with little or no access to health and public services. The YRCS with its expanded network of 19 branches and sub-branches and motivated volunteers and staff members has always been a major national player in providing humanitarian assistance. But as the needs of target communities are on the rise, the NS has to cope with all new developments and raise it capabilities to respond to urgent needs especially those related with natural disasters and internal displacement. One of the major problems that the NS has already started addressing is the food insecurity in most parts of the country. It is highly expected the food insecurity problem will aggravate in the near future and the NS might possibly launch emergency operations at a larger scale to tackle the issue. The WFP already showed readiness to support the NS to target malnutrition of children who are under 5 years old in coastal governorates of Yemen based on previous successful collaborative operations. 2.4. Analysis of solutions (development and selection of objectives) The objectives set for 2014 focus on addressing the most critical issues affecting Yemen (as outlined above). To achieve this, it is imperative that the YRCS establish itself as a well-functioning national society, working within the framework of the movement’s Fundamental Principles and creating a culture of high standards of ethics, performance and accountability. Actions aim to strengthen the NS by supporting efforts to establish and maintain governance systems, policies & processes at all levels at HQ and in the branches. The IFRC will continue to support efforts to finalize and ratify the YRCS strategy and disseminate the society’s direction for 2015-18 at HQ & in the branches. Increasing emphasis on DM which has been identified as a priority area by the NS and where IFRC has developed extensive expertise. This aims is to reduce risks inherent in natural and human-made disasters by enhancing preparedness, effectuating an effective response when a crisis occurs and provision of necessary services in the aftermath of a crisis & in the short-term recovery period. Particular emphasis will be placed on vulnerable groups, including children, women, the elderly, people with disabilities who are living in areas s that have little or no access to services & resources. By adopting a community-based approach, and working to provide a holistic response, especially in emergencies, the community will increase awareness of protective mechanisms and resiliency of individuals and communities will be enhanced with increasing sustainability. Attention will be given to cross-cutting issues, and the YRCS will be supported in incorporating gender considerations across all programmes & ensure that these are reflected operationally. Activities will also focus on developing and establishing coordination mechanisms and mobilizing stakeholders on a local, regional and national level to be able to provide a timely and effective response to the critical needs of most affected peoples, and working to ensure that these meet international standards. In addition, support will be provided to the NS to develop the necessary tools so ensure that quality of service provision is systematically measured & maintained. Target population and their participation As described above, Yemen is a country facing ongoing challenges, accentuated by the unstable political situation. All programmes will strive to target the most affected population. Children, women and individuals with special needs have been identified as particularly vulnerable groups, and thus much of the community-based health programs will focus on mother-child health, and the health of children under five years of age in an attempt to reduce the downward trend in reaching the millennium goals set for Yemen. As part of overall health and well-being, a psychosocial component will be integrated & gender will be a crosscutting component at the programme level. Programmes are developed using a participatory approach and will address the needs that have been identified by the communities themselves. In this way individuals and communities will take ownership from the onset, and play an active rather than passive role in planning, implementation and evaluating the outcomes of the interventions. The community-based approach is also central in disaster preparedness, response & recovery and focus is placed on developing the capacity of not only YRCS HQ, who will ultimately coordinate the response, but also working at the branch level with volunteers and stakeholders to establish coordination mechanisms that would ensure a quick, flexible & effective response in times of emergencies. 4
Coordination The IFRC Yemen Office is taking a lead role in coordinating various interventions in line with the Federation Strategy 2020 to ensure efficient building up of NS capacities and implementation of programmes. Periodical coordination meetings will be held regularly consisting of all RC/RC Movement components including YRCS, PNS, ICRC, and IFRC. Meetings shed light on on-going programme progress, challenges and constraints faced, in order to explore the best ways to overcome them and find best solution. One great benefit of these meeting is to ensure collaborative efforts to maximize l impact and outcome of intervention and avoid any kind of duplications related to activities and places being targeted. Coordination is also carried out through communication, continuous follow up with the Head of main departments at HQ and field visits whenever possible. This will speed up the implementation of plans, to identify emerging challenges and constraints, and work collaboratively to find efficient and timely solutions. The NS is also encouraged to submit periodical reports on programme implementation and emergency operation based on planned objectives and project proposals. 3.
