Summary and objectives
The aim of this project is to improve food security
and resilience of vulnerable households in Sayoun
district, Hadramout Governorate. This region has
been affected by natural disasters, drought and fl ashfl
oods, plus social and political unrest. This has had
a signifi cant negative impact on the livelihoods of
people in an already poor area. Rain-fed livestock
production suffers from a range of constraints including
inadequate nutrition, relatively high prevalence
of diseases and lack of extension services in animal
health and fodder production. The population of some
communities lives on an average of $1 a day. The
project will expand capacities of local communities to
strengthen self-reliance among affected populations
to speed recovery and restore their livelihood and
access to basic social services.
Main activities
• provision of agricultural inputs;
• introduction of water-saving schemes for
irrigation, recycling and reuse of water;
• extension services and training for smallholder
farmers;
• microcredits and recovery capital;
• developing skills and capacity building within
producer organisations;
• animal restocking activities.
Target groups
500 low-income households, especially from “Ummal”
and “Abeed” clans, women-headed households, the
Women’s Department, local agribusinesses and agricultural
CBOs, and the Ministry of Agriculture.
Final beneficiaries
• Direct: four low-income communities
(500 households) in the target district
(10 390 persons);
• Indirect: total population of Sayoun
(102 409 persons).
