Y E M E N1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARYThe wave of popular uprisings and civil unrest currently sweeping North Africa and the Middle East hasdramatically affected Yemen. It has added new drivers of instability to an already volatile andimpoverished country with considerable development challenges and pre-existing humanitarian needs.Five key drivers of humanitarian need in Yemen have been identified: continuing and unpredictable civilunrest; ongoing conflict in northern and southern Yemen; the continually increasing presence ofrefugees, migrants and third-country nationals; rises in the cost of living; and a crisis in provision of basicservices. Based on these drivers, the priorities for humanitarian responders are identified as life-savingassistance to conflict-affected populations; provision of basic services and commodities for the mostvulnerable; and protection of civilians and human rights.The unrest has increased protection needs,particularly in urban areas, and the ongoing conflictand displacements in southern and northern Yemenhave added to the pre-existing humanitariancaseload. Instability is exacerbating economicstagnation and complicating access to and deliveryof basic services. Meanwhile, rising food and fuelprices further marginalize vulnerable groups as thecost of living skyrockets. The rising cost of living andcrisis in basic services could increase humanitarianneeds across the country as vulnerability spreads toother regions. The conflict and civil unrest have alsoled to further human smuggling, irregular migrationand secondary displacements.The developments in Yemen and the region presentboth opportunities and challenges for humanitarianresponders. The humanitarian community mustcapitalize on new opportunities for increasingunderstanding of humanitarian needs through morerobust information management, strengthenedcoordination and advocacy. The challenges includeincreased, frequent and unpredictable spikes inhumanitarian needs resulting from additionaldisplacement and protracted emergencies; a2011 YHRP at mid-year: Key parametersDuration January - December 2011Key areastargetedKey targetbeneficiariesTotal funding requested• northern and southern conflictaffectedgovernorates• areas hosting refugee, migrant,and TCN populations• areas where civil unrest hascreated pockets of humanitarianneed and/or where basic serviceshave collapsed• 1.8 million food-insecure• 2.5 children and womensuffering from acute malnutrition• 225,000 IDPs (north)• 60,842 IDPs (south):• Aden: 37,584• Abyan: 14,788• Lajh: 8,475• 2,020 IDPs (Sana’a)• 97,000 returnees (north)• 116,830 war- affected (north)• 227,932 refugees/asylumseekers• 12,000 migrantsFunding request perbeneficiary$290,402,610 $112substantial and widespread increase in chronic needs compounded by the threat of slow-onset crises;and a reduction of humanitarian space and capacity due to security constraints.Despite the radical changes in context, the overall aim of the Yemen Humanitarian Response Plan(YHRP) remains to provide an environment for safe and healthy living for conflict-affected people. Inaddition, humanitarian partners will aim to provide a more limited package of assistance (mainly food andnutrition) for vulnerable but non-conflict-affected Yemenis in acute humanitarian need across the country.Achieving these aims requires greater capacity and resources. Moreover, improved informationmanagement systems are critical in order to enhance understanding of the new dynamics of thesituation, to accurately assess when new needs emerge or when chronic needs become acute, and toplan and respond appropriately.The 2011 YHRP is relatively well funded, but with significant discrepancies across clusters, and fundinghas been slow. Flexible funding options through the Central Emergency Response Fund have enabledagencies to respond to emerging needs. Given the changes to the context and the rising humanitarianneeds, the YHRP’s revised requirements have increased by 29% to US$290,402,610. 1 Partners havereported $138,602,060 in funding, leaving unmet requirements of $151,800,550 and the YHRP currently48% funded.1All dollar signs in this document denote United States dollars.

Y E M E N2. CHANGES IN THE CONTEXT, HUMANITARIAN NEEDS, AND RESPONSE2.1 CONTEXT – The following paragraphs provide an update on how new trends areimpacting the humanitarian response environment in 2011. For a detailed analysis of theYemeni context, see the 2011 Yemen Humanitarian Response Plan.Five key drivers of humanitarian need, and their impact on the humanitarian context in Yemen, havenow been identified:• continuing and unpredictable civil unrest• ongoing conflict in northern and southern Yemen• the continuing and increasing presence of refugees, migrants and third-country nationals• rises in the cost of living• a crisis in provision of basic servicesCivil unrestThe regionally inspired popular protest movement calling for President Saleh’s resignation hasmobilized large demonstrations across the nation, particularly in Sana’a, Abyan, and Taiz. Factionswithin the military, government, tribes and separatist movements have supported the protests, whilePresident Saleh has responded with a mix of incentives, efforts to co-opt key elites, and military action.However, civil unrest continues in major urban areas around the country, leading to violence and attimes full-scale armed conflict between government forces and armed groups, supporting theprotesters’ call for the President to resign. By June, there was a serious political stalemate, publicservices in most parts of the country ceased to function, and the escalating armed conflict began toclaim an ever-increasing number of civilian casualties. The President himself was injured in an attackon his compound on 3 June, and was evacuated to Saudi Arabia for medical treatment from which hehas not yet returned. From its inception up to 10 June, the civil unrest and government response hadcaused 283 deaths and 3,617 injured. 2The protests and resulting government crackdowns and clashes with armed groups, plus activities bythe long-standing separatist group called the Southern Mobility Movement, have produced a new crisisand new internally displaced people (IDPs). Fighting between government forces and militias hastriggered displacement in the capital and across the south. In Sana’a at least 2,020 people have beendisplaced, fighting between government forces and armed militias around Zinjibar in AbyanGovernorate has led to the displacement of 60,842 people currently registered by the Government’sIDP Executive Unit (37,584 in Aden, 14,584 in Lahj and an estimated 8,474 scattered within AbyanGovernorate). Displacement due to ongoing fighting in Abyan continues to increase daily and accessremains limited.IDPs are accommodated in a range of temporary and unsuitable shelters, and with host families, andneed emergency food assistance, shelter, water, health care and protection. Host populations arealso under considerable strain as they do not have the necessary capacity or coping mechanisms tohouse IDPs for very long. As turmoil increases in urban areas, affected populations may choose toseek refuge in rural locations. This movement could create additional humanitarian caseloads in areassurrounding urban centres throughout the country.Conflict and internal displacement in Sa’ada, and increased humanitarian access to IDPs inareas controlled by non-state actorsThe Al-Houthi take-over of Sa’ada city in March led to the displacement of an additional 15,000people, adding to the pre-existing caseload of 225,000 IDPs, 97,000 returnees, and 116,830 waraffectedbut non-displaced people attributable to the conflict in the north. In a positive development,systematic negotiations with non-state actors now in control of Sa’ada Governorate are increasinghumanitarian access to vulnerable populations. However these gains are fragile and reversible if the2WHO Yemen 3 June 20117

Y E M E Nsecurity context deteriorates further. Humanitarian partners have initiated the delivery of food andnon-food items (NFIs) to 16,000 pre-identified households in need. Non-governmental organization(NGO) partners are providing essential emergency health care to the caseload.The response efforts are focusing on vulnerable IDPs in camp and non-camp environments. Theincreased operational space allows humanitarian organizations to conduct targeting and profilingexercises to increase the effectiveness and appropriateness of assistance packages. Humanitarianpartners will be working closely with national partners to ensure a positive and well-coordinatedhumanitarian outcome in the newly opened northern region. Despite the gains in Sa’ada, there hasbeen no consistent access to the Governorates of Amran (outside of Amran city), al-Jawf andHadramawt since March.Rising cost of livingThe Government is now facing an acute fiscal crisis. Weak economic growth, high international tradedeficits and a vulnerable national currency on top of the current instability leave the populationexposed to rising global food and fuel prices. As the crisis spreads, foreigners and wealthy Yemenishave moved foreign exchange out of the country. As the central bank loses foreign reserves, theYemeni riyal (YR) looses value, and this will push more families across the poverty line. Currently theRiyal is unstable and valued at YR218-219 / $1; should the currency plunge further (>YR300 / $1),15% of Yemenis would be below the poverty line. 3Humanitarian partners have noted price instability for food, water and fuel during the second quarter of2011. The increase in food prices is an added pressure on an already food-insecure country. Theprices of main food commodities such as wheat flour, sugar, vegetable oil and rice increased fromApril to May by 10%, 4%, 13% and 8% respectively. Since January the price increase of thesecommodities is 26% on average. The cost of bread has risen by 50% compared to a few months ago.To put the effect of bread prices into context, in 2009 the most food-insecure groups (which made up31.5% of the population) were estimated to be spending one-third of their daily income on bread.The scarcity and increasing cost of fuel is affecting government, business and humanitarianoperations. The impact on health facilities is particularly detrimental as health centres rely onelectricity to function optimally. Fuel scarcity also has hampered water, sanitation and hygiene(WASH) response activities. Water distribution in IDP camps such as Haradh has decreased. Outsideof Haradh, IDPs have also started feeling the stress of increased water prices. As generators requirefuel, private sector providers pump less water, which has caused a three-to-sevenfold increase inwater prices depending on the district or governorate. In Sana’a, over 70% of residents depend uponwater trucking as they cannot access established water systems. With a scarcity of fuel there islimited water trucking operational. 4People are losing jobs due to the economic decline and the increasing price of commodities isburdensome. In addition the rising cost of living may force more families to rely on child labour tosurvive, and this may potentially increase the need for greater awareness in the coming months tosafeguard children’s rights to, among other things, education.Refugees and migrantsRefugeesIn 2011, Yemen has seen a marked increase in refugee arrivals, with more than 35,000 arriving byMay 2011. Refugee flows have increased 10% since January 2011, with partners registering anaverage of 7,000 new arrivals each month. Yemen’s civil unrest has resulted in significantdisplacement of refugees within the urban areas of Sana’a. More than 1,000 displaced refugeefamilies need shelter and food.

2. CHANGES IN THE CONTEXT, HUMANITARIAN NEEDS, AND RESPONSEcoordination with other agencies is planning to explore different ways to accommodate the homelessdisplaced refugees.Migrant FlowsEach year, large numbers of migrants and asylum seekers undertake hazardous journeys from theirorigin communities in the Horn of Africa toward the Somali and Djibouti coastlines, and onward acrossthe Gulf of Aden. From 2006 to 2007, estimated new arrivals in Yemen increased from 22,000 to26,000; in 2008, the number reached an alarming 50,000 and, in 2009, the total influx was estimatedat 80,000. This trend continued in 2010 and 2011 and – according to the UN Population Division’smost recent estimates – Yemen will be host to over 500,000 migrants by the year’s end.Attempting to reach Saudi Arabia in the hope of finding employment, Ethiopian migrants are arriving ingreater numbers on the shores of Yemen via extensive and increasingly robust smuggling networks.From the beginning of 2011 until May of this year, over 28,000 irregular Ethiopian migrants landed onYemen’s under-patrolled shores. Since the beginning of 2011, partners have identified/registered 60%of these new arrivals (or 1,800 people per month) as labour migrants. This is a sharp increase fromthe previous year, when in the same five-month period, 11,752 Ethiopian migrants were recorded ashaving arrived irregularly on Yemen’s coast.Saudi Arabia’s redoubled efforts to effectively police its borders in an attempt to thwart the flow ofmigrants have precipitated a humanitarian crisis among undocumented Ethiopian migrants whobecome stranded in Yemen. Indicative of the success of Saudi Arabia’s tightened border control andthe unprecedented surge in irregular migrants in the country, cities along Yemen’s Arabian and RedSea coastline and its north-western border have become host to swelling populations of irregularmigrants with immediate humanitarian needs.Reduction in basic servicesIn 2011, essential government-provided services such as health care, social welfare, education, powerand water have been reduced or eliminated as a result of civil unrest and conflict, compounded byrising commodity prices. This crisis in basic social services places additional strain on families andindividuals already facing high levels of poverty and malnutrition, and significant protection concerns.Many people have been killed or injured as a result of the conflict, increasing the demand for healthservices. In areas such as Abyan, most public services such as health, cold chain systems, waternetworks and schools are no longer functioning. Only two hospitals in Abyan district are partiallyfunctional, and are unable to cope with the high number of medical and surgical cases. Furthermore,although there has been a cholera outbreak in Abyan since mid-April, efforts to chlorinate the wellscannot be completed because of the high insecurity; the outbreak could potentially spread toneighbouring governorates 5 . The national vaccination programme, which relies on a functioning coldchain system, has been disrupted by frequent power, fuel and gas shortages (over 40% of vaccinecold storage facilities are gas-operated).Primary and secondary education in Yemen is suffering as a result of the ongoing unrest. Manyschools have partially or completely closed. Humanitarian partners estimate that all children, in someway or another, have been affected by the unrest. The student drop-out rate is increasing, manychildren have been attending demonstration rallies instead of attending classes, and a number ofteacher syndicates have gone on strike in some governorates, notably in Taiz. Due to the insecureenvironment, some children have been kept at home. In some areas, schools are reported closed andsome have been used for military purposes.5Source: WHO Yemen9

Y E M E N2.2 INTER-AGENCY CONTINGENCY PLAN AND HUMANITARIAN PREPAREDNESSIn response to the current context, humanitarian partners have developed worst-case and most likelyscenarios. The table below describes the worst-case scenario, which is informing currenthumanitarian preparedness actions. The most likely scenario has also been updated and is informinghumanitarian planning and response in light of the changes in the context.2.2.1 Worst-case scenario: humanitarian preparednessCivil war breaks out across the country, with Sana’a and other cities the main centres of fighting.There would be very significant displacement, with violence increasing humanitarian needs whilstreducing humanitarian space. There would be total economic collapse, leading to the breakdownof supply of food, fuel, water, health, nutrition and power. Most basic state services (socialwelfare, health and education) would collapse totally within a month. Small- and medium-scalenatural disasters may compound the situation.Migration and Displacement• 2-3 million people would be displaced nationally, with displacement sporadic and occurring across thecountry in urban and rural locations over a period of three months.• 1.3 - 2 million people would be displaced from northern and central Yemen.• 600,000 - 1 million people would be displaced from southern Yemen.• The displacement rate would be up to 200,000 - 250,000 per week, on aggregate.• 75% of all new IDPs would require humanitarian assistance in all sectors.• 25% of all new IDPs would be considered ‘highly vulnerable’.• Population movements would remain dynamic and complex, including within urban centres, and rural-tourban.• Approximately 50% would be displaced within urban centres and live with own/host families.• Approximately 50% would be displaced from urban centres to rural communities in all districts in a 100 kmradius around all major cities.• Secondary displacement would also occur continuously over this period.• The contingency plan would be triggered at a displacement rate at 5,000 per week on aggregate.• Refugees and third-country nationals (TCNs) in urban locations would be perceived as a threat and wouldbe targeted by local militias leading to secondary displacement within communities of 5,000 refugees and5,000 TCNs across the country.Humanitarian ConsequencesFood and Agriculture – 25% of new total displaced caseload would become food-insecure after one month,rising to 50% after three months and would be at its highest levels in districts with high background poverty.After three months, 500,000 host population and non-displaced people would also need food assistance due tonon-functioning markets.Health – More than 50% of chronically ill patients would not be able to reach health services to obtainmedication and continuum of care; 40% of targeted children would not receive life-saving vaccines; 20% ofchildren would not access treatment for common childhood diseases such as pneumonia and dehydratingdiarrhoea; 15% of pregnant women and newborns would have no access to emergency obstetric and newborncare. Factional violence would cause 500 deaths and 2,000 injuries per month. Requirements for diseasesurveillance and water quality testing would increase substantially.Nutrition – Wasting in children under five would increase at a rate of 2% per year in conflict-affected districts,and higher in those with greater levels of poverty and food insecurity.Protection – 50% increase in reports of human rights abuses and gender-based violence (GBV). Protectionneeds would increase in all affected rural and urban locations. Mass violations of human rights affecting Yemennationals, specifically IDPs. These violations would also affect refugees, asylum seekers and migrants who ingeneral are without community support networks, thus leaving them very vulnerable. Further violations ofhuman rights would affect the physical, security and safety of IDPs and the affected population.Child Protection – Sharp increase in killing and injuries; number of children drafted into armed groups and othergrave violations against children, as a result of conflict, violence, mines and unexploded ordnance (UXO)injuries and death. 50% increase in reports of unaccompanied/separated children, including migrants.WASH – Increased pressure on water resources, particularly in urban areas reliant on water trucking. Waterneeds would also be very high in rural areas around Sana’a where families and IDPs have returned home fromthe capital. Water needs would become acute in 50% of urban locations after three months and 70% after sixmonths. With the high increase in the price of water, unsafe water sources would be increasingly used,increasing the incidence of water-borne diseases including cholera. Water supply systems in urban areaswould face more problems compared to rural areas where people would rely on traditional sources. However,fuel and spare parts would be an issue for both areas.Shelter/NFI/Camp Coordination Camp Management (CCCM) – 70% of all new IDPs require assistance orsupport, including family shelter, host family support, collective centres and support to spontaneous10

2. CHANGES IN THE CONTEXT, HUMANITARIAN NEEDS, AND RESPONSE2.2.2 Most likely scenario: humanitarian response planningDemonstrations, public unrest and clashes in Sana’a and other urban centres in the north will continue,driven by internal and tribal dynamics, and also influenced by developments in other Arab countries.The Government’s control over parts of Yemen will be challenged by various groups, including the Al-Houthi in the north, and the Jihadists' Movement in the south. The security situation will decline, butwill not cause major population displacement or a large-scale humanitarian emergency. Decline ofpublic services due to Government’s preoccupation with other, more immediate challenges.In the south in particular, public unrest and demonstrations in Aden will gather pace as civildisobedience develops in rural areas. Deterioration of the security / services situation in the ruralareas may lead to sporadic clashes and armed incidents in Aden city, some resulting in civiliancasualties. Gradual deterioration of public services and increase in IDPs arriving into the city, mostlyto slum areas.Migration and Displacement• Approximately 1/3 of the population of Sana’a may leave to rural areas and be sheltered by tribal relations.There will be limited internal displacement within Sana’a city itself.• Limited migration to the rural areas in Taiz, since the population is less linked to the tribes.• Up to 50% of Aden’s population may leave the city and return to home areas (either to the north of Yemenor to villages in nearby governorates)• The remaining 50% are originally from Aden. Some will remain, but others are likely to displace tosurrounding areas (potentially to Taiz), and this population would be in greatest need of humanitarianassistance.• Internal displacement affecting rural governorates such as Abyan, limited in time (approx. 40,000 people)Humanitarian ConsequencesFood –.Shortages due to limited stocks of food in the households, closure of roads and displacement of foodinsecureand poverty affected populations.Health – Limited access to health services, Increased demand and limited functionality of health servicesIncrease in morbidity and mortality including due to injuries. Increased risk of communicable disease outbreaks(especially due to inadequate supply of safe drinking water, environmental hygiene/ waste disposal relatedproblems), protesters unwilling to access MoPHP-run hospitals, private hospitals under strain and in need ofsupport, specific reproductive health (RH) and problems with delivery conditions.Nutrition – Collapsed public services providing nutrition interventions and lack of stock.ProtectionGBV – Likely increase of GBV within communities (in different forms than in a non-conflict scenario):unavailability of doctors to provide first medical assistance (i.e. post-rape kits) because they are overwhelmedby casualties. Increase of people (including children) with trauma.Child Protection – Sharp increase in killing and injuries; number of children drafted into armed groups and othergrave violations against children, as a result of conflict, violence and mines/UXO injuries and death. 50%increase in reports of unaccompanied/separated children, including migrants.WASH – Water shortages in Sana'a and other disturbance-affected urban areas, particularly in thecommunities that are not connected by water systems and therefore are reliant on water trucking. Should watertrucking come to a halt, lack of water may be one of important push factors, prompting residents to leave theirneighbourhoods.Shelter/NFI/CCCM – emergency shelter needs for displaced populations,Education – Schools are closed nationally with an increased pressure on rural schools. School buildings areused by IDPs and some schools used for military purposes.Coordination and support services – Operations may be potentially constrained by insecurity, changingaccess situation, and difficulty in reaching out to beneficiaries.13

Y E M E N2.3 SUMMARY OF RESPONSE TO DATEWhen considering the humanitarian response in Yemen this year, three variables should be taken intoaccount. The first is the impact of funding upon the strategy. Although in percentage terms funding ishigher than most other CAPs at mid-year, this nevertheless masks quite serious discrepancies in thespread across clusters, and in its timeliness (see Section 2.5 for details). The second is the extent towhich implementation of the YHRP’s strategy has been hamstrung by the unfolding of the civil unrest,and the prevailing insecurity and lack of access this is has engendered. Humanitarian access hasfrequently been limited by various armed elements, logistical constraints, and through lack of nationalpartners for response, and progress in achieving stated targets has thus been variable. The thirdvariable concerns the pressure upon agencies to respond in areas and to needs and populationsheretofore not part of the overall humanitarian strategy.Given this overall environment, responders have made significant achievements under a challengingand complex operating environment. The table below provides a summary of the humanitarianresponse so far in 2011, and a brief headline description of progress towards targets. (For detailedcluster updates please see Section 4.)Cluster progress and challenges as of 20 June 2011ProgressChallenges in responseFood and Agriculture• Emergency food assistance to 300,000IDPs (reached 90%).• Food voucher assistance to unregistered,war-affected families (10,500 people) inSa’ada Governorate to start as planned inJune (100%).• Seasonal emergency safety net (SESN) for1.1 million severely food-insecure people tostart as planned in June across sevengovernorates (Raymah, Hajjah, Ibb, Amran,Al-Mahwit, Al-Baida, and Taiz) during theMay-October hunger season (60%).Health• Delivery of primary health care (PHC) toIDPs and hosting communities in waraffectedareas:• 100% coverage for IDPs in camps• 30% coverage for IDPs outside camps• Crude mortality rate among IDPs livinginside camps remained below the thresholdof one death per 10,000 people per day.• Provision of prenatal care with referral fordeliveries by all medical teams.• Partners reported 222 deliveries alongwith 847 antenatal and 155 postnatalvisits.• Mental health services provided in Al-Mazraq camp.• Early recovery projects for rehabilitation ofdamaged health centres.Food• Due to limited funding, since October 2010, IDP familieshave been provided with a reduced ration basket: assuch, displaced families have not been receiving 25%(515 Kcal) of their daily requirements.• SESN not expanded to a further 800,000 severely foodinsecurepeople (44% of targeted caseload) due to lackof funding and prevailing insecurity.• Assistance in Al-Jawf Governorate suspended sinceJanuary due to insecurity.Agriculture• Given the allocation of funds to agricultural activitieswithin the Cluster, few agricultural activities have started(two of four planned to start in July).• Veterinary assistance to 5,400 IDPs, host-communityfarming and livestock-owning households in Hajjah tostart in June/July, due to late receipt of funding.• Suspended due to lack of funding:• veterinary and agricultural assistance to 3,000 IDPsand host-community livestock-owning households inSa’ada• veterinary assistance to 2,500 IDPs and hostcommunitylivestock-owning households in Amran• Overall, due to low funding and prevailing insecurity,critical gaps have emerged in PHC, mental health, RHand a low coverage of the conflict-affected populationliving outside camps• Inadequate referral and treatment of chronic diseases.• Low vaccination coverage in Sa’ada governorate leadingto an increased risk of outbreaks of communicablediseases such as measles.• Delays in initiating early recovery plans.• Referrals for complicated pre-natal cases for conflictaffectedIDPs remain inadequate due to the unavailabilityof a gynaecologist in Haradh hospital.14

Humanitarian partners will continue to implement the YHRP’soverall strategy to provide an environment for safe and healthy living for conflict-affected people untilthe situation allows for permanent return, reintegration and self-reliance. Humanitarian partners willalso aim to provide a much more limited package of assistance (mainly food and nutrition) forvulnerable but non-conflict-affected Yemenis in acute humanitarian need across the country.While recognizing that some key clusters remain underfunded, funding (48% of requirements at midyear)per se is not a major constraint to humanitarian action in Yemen. However key gaps exist in thecoordination and coherence of the assistance delivered. These gaps are due in large part to therapidly changing politico-security context, but are also related to the need to strengthen existingcoordination and information management systems.The growing insecurity and persistent lack of access in certain areas of Yemen limits humanitarianspace, and prevents humanitarian actors from reaching vulnerable populations. In addition to theshrinking operational space, fuel shortages and security concerns continue to add complexity to thecontext and reduces the amount of assistance that partners can deliver to those in need. Theoperating environment of the humanitarian country team is significantly challenged as staff levels havebeen reduced significantly due security concerns, thus impacting both the ability to deliver assistanceand the capacity to assess and analyze the changing humanitarian needs.The drivers of instability and change in the humanitarian situation in Yemen have been identified as:• continuing and unpredictable civil unrest• ongoing conflict in northern and southern Yemen• the continuing and increasing presence of refugees, migrants and TCNs• rises in the cost of living• a crisis in provision of basic servicesBased on these drivers, the priorities for humanitarian responders have been identified as:• the provision of life-saving assistance to conflict-affected populations• the provision of basic services and commodities for the most vulnerable• protection of civilians and human rightsTo help support these efforts, it is also critical to address the needs for enhanced informationmanagement, and needs analysis, and to strengthen coordination and advocacy (see map overleaf ofgeographic prioritisation of needs in Yemen).17

Y E M E NProvision of life-saving assistance in the form of food, adequate safe water, primary health care,shelter and nutrition support to an increased number of beneficiaries.In Sa'ada, the violence in March displaced an additional 15,000 people adding to an existing caseloadof 300,000 IDPs in the north. In the south, the fighting in Abyan Governorate has displaced at least42,500 people. In Sana’a, at least 2,020 new IDPs have been registered following the fighting in Al-Hasaba area, and the additional caseload of 5,000 new urban displaced refugees will further increasedemand for assistance and protection in urban areas.Humanitarian partners indicate a total of 28,179 Ethiopian irregular migrants have arrived in Yemen sofar this year, in addition to 9,227 Somalis, bringing the total arrivals for the first half of 2011 to 37,406.Of this total about 12,000 have been registered and given aid in Haradh. At the same time, thenumber of refugees has increased markedly in 2011, with more than 35,000 arriving by May 2011.Refugee flows have increased 10% since January 2011, with partners registering an average of 7,000new arrivals each month. Response preparedness actions such as the pre-positioning of essentialstock are critical in light of the current life-saving needs.All these new caseloads and areas of operation pose a range of challenges to humanitarian actorsrelated mainly to access, to the lack of reliable assessment information, and to the capacity ofhumanitarian organizations to assist them as, heretofore, humanitarian operations were concentratedmainly on IDPs in the north, and refugees in the south. These new loci of needs thus constitute almostwholly new areas of operation.Basic services and commodities for the most vulnerableAs state services cease to function, families are forced to rely on increasingly expensive private sectorproviders. This pushes families into chronic or acute need as people resort to negative copingmechanisms to survive. The result is a slow-onset crisis as families move from a state of chronic toacute needs with no clear trigger for humanitarian intervention. Yemen is a chronicallyunderdeveloped country and the most impoverished Arab country, with statistics showing that one inthree Yemenis is food-insecure and under-nourished and more than 50% of children suffer fromstunting. These additional reductions in basic services and cost of living increases exacerbate thealready massive social and economic development challenges.The rising cost of living and crisis in basic services has the potential to increase humanitarian needacross the county as a whole as new vulnerability spreads to previously robust regions. The gradualincrease in the price of main food commodities has put further pressure on already severely foodinsecurehouseholds. Many have been forced to resort to negative coping mechanisms such asfasting, eliminating meat/fish and chewing more qat. 6 As a result, the already alarming malnutritionfigures are likely to increase further.In addition, Health and Nutrition Cluster analysis indicates there is a likelihood of an increase in acutemalnutrition rates for children under five and pregnant and lactating women due to food shortages, therising cost of living, lack of safe water supply and proper sanitation with potential increase in the levelof diarrhoea and water-borne diseases, complicated by disruption of the health services. In addition toreduced utilization, an estimated 30% of the population who are vulnerable – the elderly, the sick,(including those living with chronic illnesses), pregnant and lactating women and children under five –will not have access to essential health services and continuum of care (replenishment of drugs forhypertension, diabetes etc) with resulting increased mortality.6Source: WFP Yemen18

2. CHANGES IN THE CONTEXT, HUMANITARIAN NEEDS, AND RESPONSE19

Y E M E NThe drastic increase in the price of gas has forced almost one third of immunization facilities to shutdown. Vaccinations have virtually ceased in areas of conflict. As of June 2011, only 40% of the450,000 children targeted had received life-saving vaccines 7 . The rising number of unvaccinatedchildren, coupled with widespread malnutrition, increases the risk of high mortality rates from measlesand other communicable disease outbreaks. 8 There has already been an outbreak of measles at themigrant departure centre in Haradh.Advocacy for providing regular access to services to IDPs is ongoing, however, the public educationand health structures in those governorates (mainly in the north) affected by displacement aregenerally in poor condition. Schools are overcrowded and the health services are not provided free ofcharge in spite of instructions from the MoPHP. A major concern remains the lack of mental healthfacilities which leaves mentally ill IDPs in very difficult conditions, sometimes retained by familymembers inside their shelters. As many IDPs do not possess national ID cards, this further limits theiraccess to services.As a result of the recent political turmoil, the economic situation in Yemen has deteriorated. Theescalation of violence in the country has disrupted the fuel supply chain. There is a severe shortage offuel due to sabotage to Marib Governorate's refineries and the Government’s inability to import asufficient quantity of replacement fuel. As a result, it can take days for people to get fuel, with longqueues forming at petrol stations. Violent clashes have taken place at petrol stations requiring militaryforces to intervene to restore order. There has been a rampant increase in black market fuel sales,despite prices being up to five times that of the official rate and fuel quality being poor.The fuel crisis has not only affected the citizens, but also all the humanitarian organizations in thecountry, which have expressed concern for the continuity of relief operations. Most of the UnitedNations (UN) agencies and NGOs are struggling to find sufficient supplies of fuel to keep theiroperations going. As leader of the Logistics Sub-Cluster, the World Food Programme (WFP) has beenrequested to ensure and manage a regular supply of fuel to humanitarian agencies in Yemen untilsuch a time as a commercial option is again viable. Therefore, WFP is expanding logistics activitieswithin its Special Operation in Yemen to include the provision of fuel to humanitarian agencies.Protection of civilians and human rightsThe current scenario is characterized by violence against civilians. Recent Security Councilresolutions on protection of civilians and increased international scrutiny on the Yemen crisis providehumanitarian partners with an opportunity to increase emphasis on protection programming in alloperations. This increased focus will include additional IDP profiling, psycho-social interventions, childrights violations, and monitoring and prevention of GBV.There are concerns of grave violations against children, including recruitment. It is estimated thatchildren constitute 20% of Al-Houthi recruits and 15% in the pro-government militia. 52 children havebeen killed during the ongoing civil unrest, 700 were injured. Child trafficking is a serious concern asthe number of unaccompanied migrant children has doubled during this year. In addition to theincrease in rates of domestic and sexual violence, corporal punishment, early marriage, child labourand the effect of the conflict on the psycho-social well-being of children are of concern.Another serious concern is the situation of about 500,000 Arab-speaking, "al-akhdam"/almuhamasheen"(slaves/marginalized) ethnic minorities residing in slums in the outskirts of Sana'a,Taiz, Hodeidah, Mukala and Aden, with very limited access to basic services and opportunity. Many ofthese have been displaced as a result of the civil unrest, and do not have any social safety nets. GBVremains a major concern, especially given the ongoing massive displacement. There is a major gap inthe reporting and identification of cases, limited awareness of GBV among service providers, weak7UNICEF, Yemen8OCHA Yemen, IOM Yemen20

2. CHANGES IN THE CONTEXT, HUMANITARIAN NEEDS, AND RESPONSEreferral mechanisms. Finally, threats of landmines and UXO pose a serious challenge to the return ofIDPs in areas like Sa'ada.Enhancing information management and needs analysisIncreased focus on the Yemen crisis provides humanitarian responders with an opportunity and arequirement to enhance information collection, analysis and management. Assessment andmonitoring of humanitarian needs and operations throughout Yemen remains an area of concern. Ashumanitarian needs emerge and develop, an effective humanitarian response requires enhancedcapacities in information management and needs analysis. While these capacities vary acrossclusters, inadequate funding, a rapidly changing political/security context and low agency presence ininsecure areas combine to limit needs analysis in certain issue areas.Collecting information in Yemen is particularly challenging due to the multitude of humanitarian driversat play, resulting in a deficit of useful information and humanitarian awareness. Humanitarian partnersare aware of the need to strengthen systematic data collection mechanisms and provide dedicatedinformation management capacity for the clusters. Humanitarian actors are not currently equipped tocollect, synthesize and disseminate information in such an environment. The HCT needs asophisticated system to monitor the point at which chronic vulnerability tips into acute humanitarianneed triggering intervention.For instance, as the preliminary map on page 19 indicates, significant humanitarian needs exist innorth and south-eastern Yemen, with most interventions focused on the northern governorates. Themap shows a lower response in Al Dhale’e, Abyan and Lahj Governorates. Humanitarian respondersshould continue efforts to prioritize these areas. As a next step, the Office for the Coordination ofHumanitarian Affairs (OCHA) will map this vulnerability at the district level, allowing for a more granularpicture of humanitarian need and response across Yemen.Strengthening coordination and advocacyWith humanitarian needs and vulnerabilities growing and spreading to new parts of the country,strengthened coordination and advocacy become even more critical. The geographical andprogrammatic variance across Yemen requires strong national and inter-cluster coordinationmechanisms to ensure effectiveness, targeting and coherence. The planning process for the 2012YHRP provides the opportunity to reach out to a broad section of civil society and national/internationalNGO partners. A wider foundation of partnership and coordination will allow the development of amore effective humanitarian strategy, and will generate increased funding to fuel the implementation ofthis strategy.Recent successes in negotiating humanitarian access in Sa’ada provide humanitarian partners withthe opportunity to strengthen advocacy efforts. Building on the example of Sa’ada, humanitarianpartners will pursue dialogue with non-state actors in de facto control of areas around the country withthe aim of negotiating humanitarian access. To support this effort, coordination structures andstronger agency presence will be established in key areas.21

As of the MYR, prior to the identification ofrevised requirements, $138,602,060 or 62% had been received in funding, with an average level offunding of 46% per cluster.Funding per cluster (original requirements)ClusterOriginalUnmet%Funds receivedrequirementsrequirements fundedCoordination and SupportServices3,399,890 3,664,708 -264,818 108%Early Recovery 11,812,464 0 11,812,464 0%Education 3,502,600 1,259,436 2,243,164 36%Food and Agriculture 81,038,634 71,072,614 9,966,020 88%Health 13,686,092 5,386,731 8,299,361 39%Multi-Sector (Refugee Response) 40,339,911 6,432,077 33,907,834 16%Nutrition 26,670,228 22,061,276 4,608,952 83%Protection 13,604,590 4,110,471 9,494,119 30%Shelter/NFI/CCCM 18,971,093 932,517 18,038,576 5%WASH 11,848,746 6,029,190 5,819,556 51%Cluster Not Yet Specified* 0 17,653,040 -17,653,040 -Totals 224,874,248 138,602,060 86,272,188 62%* Note: flexible funds received by agencies for which they have not reported their allocations to specific projects and clusters.The funding percentage for clusters in which those agencies have projects are therefore likely to be higher in reality than isshown on these tables, based on agency reports.Source: donor and recipient organization reports to FTS as of 30 JuneAlthough international NGOs participate in the process, most YHRP funding flows to UN agencies($133,727,238 of funding, or 96% of funding received). No direct contributions were directed orreported to national NGOs, even though many are often implementing partners of UN agencies andINGOs participating in the appeal.Funding analysis: adequate, timely and flexible?The YHRP has proved to be an effective vehicle for coordinating humanitarian response and financingin Yemen. Overall, donors have provided a largely flexible response with low levels of earmarking.Recognising the value of coordination in such a politicised and fragmented operational environment,the Coordination and Support Services Cluster is over-funded at 108%. Of the other clusters, onlythree (Food and Agriculture, Nutrition and WASH) were funded over 50% of original requirements, andthe 88% funding for Food and Agriculture masks significant imbalances in funding between theCluster’s food aid and agricultural components.A significant amount of funding – over $17 million, amounting to 13% of all funding reported as of theMYR – was recorded as “Cluster Not Yet Specified.” The majority of this funding (over $12 million)was for UNHCR, with the remainder shared between the ERF and UNICEF. Such significant amountsof funding recorded in “Cluster Not Yet Specified” do have an effect on funding figures, especially forthose clusters in which recipient agencies have projects.Responding to the civil unrest, in May CERF made available $6,291,413 in timely and flexible fundingfor WFP ($1,808,332), the World Health Organization (WHO, $1,586,332), IOM ($1,270,465), UNHCR($1,252,693), UNICEF ($250,000) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA, $123,591).22

2. CHANGES IN THE CONTEXT, HUMANITARIAN NEEDS, AND RESPONSEYHRP 2011 vs. YHRP 2010 mid-year reviewThe 2011 MYR funding level of 62% shows a significant increase from 2010’s 31% mid-year fundinglevel. Not only is the overall percentage much increased, but there are also very remarkable increasesin funding to key clusters (compare, for instance, the funding to Coordination and Support Services, orto Food and Agriculture in 2010 and 2011). This indicates a positive donor response to the increase inYemen’s acute humanitarian need.2011 vs. 2010 YHRP at MYR (original requirements)2010 2011ClusterOriginalFundedrequirementsCoordination andSupport ServicesOriginal% Funded %requirements7,348,844 1,233,057 17% 3,399,890 3,664,708 108%Early Recovery 4,204,616 506,716 12% 11,812,464 00%Education 3,744,536 76,672 2% 3,502,600 1,259,436 36%Food andAgriculture61,066,401 13,744,208 23% 81,038,634 71,072,614 88%Health 10,274,901 2,031,404 20% 13,686,092 5,386,731 39%Multi-Sector(Refugee Response)34,044,639 13,296,556 39% 40,339,911 6,432,077 16%Nutrition 29,199,250 15,159,457 52% 26,670,228 22,061,276 83%Protection 12,077,829 3,227,390 27% 13,604,590 4,110,471 30%Shelter/NFI/CCCM 18,479,849 5,560,900 30% 18,971,093 932,517 5%Water, Sanitationand Hygiene6,702,817 2,132,490 32% 11,848,746 6,029,190 51%Cluster Not YetSpecified- 672,948 n/a 0 17,653,040 -Totals 187,143,682 57,641,798 31% 224,874,248 138,602,060 62%Source: donor and recipient organization reports to FTS as of 30 JuneAs illustrated in the table above, 2011 shows significant increases in the funding of the Food andAgriculture, Nutrition, WASH, Education and Coordination and Support Services Clusters. TheProtection and Heath Cluster funding increased, but to a lesser extent, and Early Recovery hasdeclined significantly. Funding to Multi-Sector (Refugee Response) also declined but the amount offunding currently in “Cluster Not Yet Specified” should be borne in mind for this analysis, as 70% ofthat funding is for UNHCR. The 2010 funding was less in both absolute dollar terms and percentagefunded, but resources were distributed more evenly across Clusters.For the 2011 YHRP, the HCT agreed to maintain the existing three-tier categorization of projects.• Life-saving (core emergency humanitarian programmes): actions that, within a short time spanremedy, mitigate or avert direct loss of life, physical and psychological harm or threats to apopulation or a major portion thereof and/or protect their dignity.• Time-critical: necessary, rapid and time-limited actions and resources required to minimizeadditional loss of lives and damage to social and economic assets.• Support services: common humanitarian services that are necessary to enable, for example, lifesavingactions and multi-agency assessments.23

Support servicesremain quite low at 4%.The effects of under-funding in the various clusters (see as well Section 2.3 Summary ofresponse to date)The under-funding of humanitarian actions has reduced both the number of people in need whoreceive assistance and, in some cases, degraded the depth of intervention when organizations triagepreventative programming in favour of life-saving activities. While some agencies have been able tomitigate these effects through the reallocation of funding streams, others have been forced to reduceprogramming with a range of impacts described below. It must, however, be reiterated that the underfundingpicture is coloured by funding still classified as unspecified (see above Funding analysis:adequate, timely and flexible?) as the allocation of these funds to the appropriate clusters wouldchange the funding picture.Use of pooled funds in the YHRPCERFPartners used the CERF funding to address conflict related needs in Yemen’s north (just over $4million), with the remainder for new needs related to civil unrest. Clusters including Shelter/NFI/CCCM, Protection (including human rights, sexual and gender-based violence / SGBV and ChildProtection), Health, Food and several Multi-Sector interventions were identified as the priorities forassistance, and relevant organizations were urged to respond to the newly identified humanitarianneeds. CERF increased the quality and efficiency of the response by making available essential lifesavingfunding in response to these new humanitarian needs.ERFThe ERF priority in Yemen is to enable a rapid and flexible first response to emergencies beforemainstream funding comes through to fund newly identified needs in ongoing crises resulting fromimproved access. The ERF is not intended to provide core funds to programmes or to address chronicproblems that could be better addressed through the CERF, the YHRP or recovery and developmentfunding channels. Allocations are made on the basis of projects that respond and initiate life-savinghumanitarian activities to reduce acute vulnerabilities in the aftermath of an emergency caused bynatural disasters and/or conflicts.24

2. CHANGES IN THE CONTEXT, HUMANITARIAN NEEDS, AND RESPONSETo date the ERF has disbursed $1.6 million to international NGOs (INGOs), local NGOs and UNagencies. Requests for funding were submitted following urgent humanitarian needs identified inthose sectors and a rapid response was delivered to save the lives of the people in those targetedgeographic areas and minimise suffering. In March 2011 the ERF Advisory Board composed ofdonors, UN agencies and NGOs decided to open a window in the ERF for contingencyplanning/preparedness due to the current unrest in the country and the escalation of fighting betweenpro- and-anti government parties. Two projects in the health and WASH sectors were funded forpreparedness with a budget of $250,000 in total. The ERF is reviewing projects targeting thosedisplaced by the current civil unrest in different geographic areas resulting from the civil unrest.Humanitarian funding outside the YHRPAccording to FTS, $33,149,678 has been contributed to the Yemen emergency outside of projects andactivities in the YHRP (equivalent to 15% of funding to the appeal). Of this, $16,641,545 (50%) iscontributions to the International Committee of the Red Cross, with the remainder spread across arange of activities and agencies, mostly NGOs.25

Recent nutrition surveys have shown thatthe situation is critical, and access to this population has been negotiated.Due to extremely limited access to Sa’ada in recent years, there is minimal information available todetermine the exact food security situation in the governorate. However, using the assessmentsdetailed above, census data from 2004 and trends highlighted in WFP’s 2010 Comprehensive FoodSecurity Survey, modest projections indicate severe food insecurity among an estimated 24% (or116,800 individuals) of the war-affected population. This caseload will begin to receive emergency28

4. CLUSTER RESPONSE PLANSfood assistance from June onwards. The Food and Agriculture Cluster is hopeful for an opportunity toimplement a comprehensive food security assessment in Sa’ada following initial assistance based onthe findings of the assessment, cluster members will be able to adjust their operational requirementsas needed.Two new drivers of humanitarian assistance nationwide have been identified.i) Current civil unrest and political insecurity leading to increased displacement nationwide, aswell as trapped mixed migrants in northern Yemen. The proposed response is the addition oftwo new projects providing temporary emergency food assistance to these affectedpopulations.ii) Increasing commodity and fodder prices at both a national and international level. Theproposed response: a revision of all projects currently included in the YHRP to realigncommodity and fodder costs with the higher global prices.29

The current crisis is disrupting the delivery of essential healthservices such as immunization, management and treatment of common child hood killer diseases andincrease the vulnerability of populations to disease outbreaks such as diarrhoea, cholera, polio,measles and other infectious diseases (see as well the updated needs analysis in Section 2.4).The Health Cluster sub-group is continuously assessing the situation. Based on various rapidassessments conducted by the partners in different governorates, the health sector needs immediatesupport for the following activities.• Onsite management of victims: with numerous protests ongoing nationwide, 24/7 onsite medicalservices are needed which can provide immediate medical attention to those injured in the event ofviolent incidents. Although medical posts have been established at different demonstration sites,they lack equipment, medicines, supplies and health care workers, especially females.• Ambulance services: timely transportation of critically injured patients is vital but, althoughsufficient ambulances are available, there is a shortage of resources to keep them functioning 24/7.It is also important to ensure sufficient female staff in ambulances to treat injured women and girls.• Hospital emergency department: a number of public and private hospitals are providingemergency care for all victims. Hospital emergency departments are struggling to cater for needswith limited resources, insufficient beds, shortages of life-saving medicines and equipment.31

Y E M E N• Mass casualty management training: national health care workers lack the training andexperience to manage mass casualties; and their knowledge and skills need to be improved andupdated.• Prevention and control of outbreaks: Yemen has a high prevalence of malaria, diarrhoea, denguefever, respiratory tract infections, measles, tuberculosis and typhoid. The disruption of publicservices such as water supply, sanitation networks and health services greatly increases the risk ofcommunicable disease outbreaks. To promptly manage outbreaks, two interagency diarrhoealdisease kits and two interagency emergency health kits are immediately required.• Impact on regular health programmes: the crisis is likely to disrupt the delivery of essential healthservices such as immunization programmes and the management and treatment of commonchildhood diseases, and result in increased vulnerability to disease outbreaks such as diarrhoea,cholera, polio and measles. Chronic shortages of gas have raised concerns over the maintenanceof the cold chain at peripheral health facilities and sporadic measles outbreaks are being reported ingovernorates with low cumulative coverage of 58% (Aden and Sa’ada). An outbreak of acute waterydiarrhoea with over 1,000 cases reported was reported in Abyan, where there is ongoing insecurityand a lack of both supplies and management protocols.32

4. CLUSTER RESPONSE PLANSChanging humanitarian needsBased on predictions that malnutrition will increase unless essential nutrition interventions areexpanded nationwide, Nutrition Cluster partners identified the need to focus on other vulnerable areasin the country with prioritization of areas affected by the civil unrest and violence such as Abyan, Adenand Lahj which have seen significant new displacement. Cluster partners will advocate and coordinatewith social protection networks for social protection issues and will also advocate to all stakeholders onthe rights of children to have access to a quality diet and adequate primary health care.Power and fuel shortages have disrupted the supply of safe water, and this has had a detrimentalaffect on large numbers of individuals and households, and on hygienic practices and sanitation at thecommunity level. This situation may culminate in outbreaks of diarrhoeal and/or other water and foodbornediseases, which will aggravate the critical nutrition situation in Yemen. The need to widen theCluster’s scope to address the imminent malnutrition problems countrywide has been challenged bylimited governmental capacity, which justifies the need to expand partnerships with all theimplementing partners on the ground and to explore the possibility of opening new outlets other thanhealth facilities to deliver services. This is especially critical in the newly opened districts and in theremaining central and southern governorates in order to mitigate anticipated weaker governmentcommitment and/or further limitations in MoPHP capacities.Following the negotiation of increased access with the new de facto authorities in Sa’ada,humanitarian actors are gaining access to previously displaced returnees in their area of return, aswell as to war-affected people that were not displaced and have only received limited humanitarianassistance. The cluster will increase threefold the number of beneficiaries among IDP children underfive covered by preventive nutrition interventions, due to improved access to the north (mainly withinSa’ada) and also because of the impact of rising food prices upon the IDPs. The Cluster will alsotarget nationwide areas and communities affected by the civil unrest and increase in cost of living.The lack of reliable data to reflect the nutrition situation and status amongst children under fiveindicates the need to improve nutrition information systems and to fill in the information gap by settingup sentinel sites and/or by empowering national partners to conduct rapid assessments.Changes in targetsThe Cluster will increase threefold the number of beneficiaries among IDP children under five coveredby preventive nutrition interventions, due to improved access to the north (mainly within Sa’ada) andalso because of the impact of rising food prices upon IDPs. The Cluster will also target nationwideareas and communities affected by the civil unrest and increase in cost of living.35

Children and women are frequent victims and are most dramatically affected byviolence and displacement. Hospitals and education facilities are under-funded and severely lackingin qualified personnel and equipment across the country; such as they are, basic services are still too11The IDP camps in Sa’ada city are under ICRC/YRCS responsibility and not cover by the present cluster.12 It is estimated that 30% of IDPs have returned. This includes registered returnees and spontaneous returnees.38

4. CLUSTER RESPONSE PLANSexpensive for a large segment of the Yemeni population, including many IDPs. Provision of andaccess to services and assistance is impeded by the reduced capacity of national institutions, limitedhumanitarian space and the lack of awareness by IDPs concerning their rights regarding localintegration.The number of migrants passing through Yemen on the way to Saudi Arabia fluctuates. Migrantsflows have increased in coastal areas, including those recently deported from Saudi Arabia. Currently,the Ethiopian Government estimates that around 40,000 Ethiopian migrants are in Yemen, including29,000 irregular migrants who have no access to protection or basic services. In Haradh, the majorityof migrants are young men ages 13-30 years old, while 5% of cases are women and 20% children.There are some elderly and extremely vulnerable people amongst the migrants. Based on IOM'sprotection survey, at least 50% of the stranded migrants were physically abused by smugglers and/orSaudi Arabian border guards.In January this year, the Cluster formed the GBV Sub-Cluster (GBVCS) in addition to the alreadyexisting Child Protection Sub-Cluster. The Child Protection Sub-Cluster (CPSC) is chaired andcoordinated by UNICEF and the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour (MOSAL) and the GBVSC ischaired and coordinated by UNFPA. In addition, in April the Cluster established a Registration TaskForce dedicated to the consolidation of IDP registration data.Protection of Children Sub-ClusterThe support to children affected by the conflict in the north of Yemen needs to be maintained andexpanded to reach affected in all districts of Sa’ada Governorate. Regarding the civil unrest, theviolence and instability is adding a dangerous burden to Yemeni children, already affected by anumber of emergencies and chronic underdevelopment. Children are among those most affected bythe civil unrest, political instability, violence and fighting. Children are often exploited, recruited andused by all parties, pro-government and anti-government protesters, and have been killed, wounded,arrested, and injured at or around demonstrations.It is also reported that hundreds of children (13 to 17 years old) are participating in security tasks andproviding general services at the anti-government demonstration camps on a daily basis. Reportsindicate that 200-300 children are participating in security and protection of protestors in the campsand working with security committees at entrance gates to demonstration camps.The deterioration of the security situation and weakened governance system has significantlyincreased targeting of children for the purpose of trafficking, including for unaccompanied childrenoriginating from the Horn of Africa. The presence of these children has increased two fold since thestart of the civil unrest. Children cross illegally into Saudi Arabia and neighbouring countries in searchof income and are frequently detained for this purpose. There is a need to provide more focused andsystematic support to provide protection and interim care for these children and support their return tothe countries of origin.Gender-Based Violence Sub-ClusterGBV remains an especially pronounced problem among displaced and vulnerable communities.Social upheaval, population displacement, and breakdown of systems of protection all favour theoccurrence of numerous cases of GBV. While boys are more likely to be engaged in paid labour,including being recruited into armed activities, recruitment of girls is often seen as a social taboo andthus not spoken of. In some cases, fathers of displaced families marry off their daughters foreconomic advantage. The prevalence of domestic violence and other gender-based vulnerabilitiesalso seems to be higher in the camps.The SAF has estimated that 74 cases of GBV have been reported in different governorates in relationto the current civil unrest. In the Governorates of Taiz, Aden, Abyan and Amran, the Yemen Women’sUnion (YWU) has registered a decrease in support of GBV cases, largely due to the difficulties women39

Y E M E Nare experiencing in travelling under the current circumstances. As in all cases involving GBV,domestic and sexual violence cases are not reported due to the social stigma and fear of reprisal.AssessmentsThe Cluster conducted or commissioned a number of studies and assessments on various aspects ofprotection in 2011, including on:(i) situation of migrants and trafficked people(ii) children affected by civil unrest(iii) violence against children and women in Hajjah, Hadramawt, Abyan, Hodeyda, Taiz,Sana’a and Aden(iv) youth needs and children involved in qat smuggling(v) needs and overall situation of the displaced in settlements in Hajjah and Amran(vi) situation of new IDPs in Sana’a(vii) situation of vulnerable communities in al-Jawf(viii) situation involving the detention of migrants and refugeesInter-agency or single agency assessment missions were also part of the activities undertaken by theCluster and its members, including on Al Mazrak IDP camp II.40

The lack of fuel, especially diesel, to runwater pumping stations and to truck water has resulted in water prices soaring three fold. The price ofone cubic metre of water has reached $8 and could increase more forcing tens of thousands offamilies to compromise minimum standards in water quantity and quality. People are already movingout of the big cities back into rural areas, and while some pressure is expected on the poor andinadequate water supply and other public services, communities will accommodate relatives and meetdrinking water needs using traditional water resources. The main gap and urgent assistance will needto focus on urban areas. While some families affected by the conflict in Al-Hasaba, Sana’a, can affordto move to safer areas, the most vulnerable are moving into slums where public services do not exist.Marginalized Yemenis, refugees and migrants will bear the brunt of the recent conflict, and their needshave to be addressed.The increasing incidence of floods and drought due to global climate change and weak managementof natural resources is another factor, which affects long term water scarcity and food security in thewhole country. In poor and conflict-affected areas inadequate environmental conditions and lack ofbasic health services have led to outbreaks of diseases such as cholera, dysentery, hepatitis,salmonellosis and typhoid. Many families are fetching water from wadis, rainwater puddles, openwells, shallow polluted wells and springs, and other unsafe sources. Combined with poor hygienepractices and lack of awareness, the prevalence rates of water-borne diseases are expected toincrease. Throughout the first half of 2011, Yemen witnessed a number of disease outbreaks in48

4. CLUSTER RESPONSE PLANSHodeidah, Taiz, and lately the suspected cholera outbreak in Abyan. Those facts place water safetyon equal importance and urgency alongside access to minimum quantities of water supply per capita.In conflict-affected areas of northern Yemen, two key needs have been categorized. The first is tocontinue to address IDPs’ humanitarian needs in camps, settlements, and in host communities inAmran, Hajjah, Sa’ada, and Al-Jawf, involving the provision of adequate and safe water and sanitation.The second is to start the more strategic, high impact, and dual purpose projects, addressing urgenthumanitarian needs as well as sustainability. Two key interventions to be prioritized are water supplyinfrastructure restoration and expansion, and WASH in schools. WASH has been identified as a keysector to improve WASH infrastructure and services in the camps in Haradh. In June 2011, heavystorms badly damaged latrines, water facilities and storage tanks. Before the storm, more hostcommunity families were reported to come and fetch water from the camps’ water points due to thedrought and lack of water in the traditional Wadi. WASH partners had to increase water supply tokeep the humanitarian minimum standards at 20 litres/capita/day.Following the latest displacements in the southern governorates, humanitarian agencies and WASHCluster partners conducted an assessment and started the provision of essential WASH services. Asthe number of IDPs is expected to continue to increase, the contingency plan for the south needs to beadjusted and activated to address the expected increase in humanitarian needs. Activities hereinclude the need to revise and activate the contingency plan and ensure adequate supply items arepre-positioned in various locations in cooperation with concerned Governments and other partners.49

In the north, the Al-Houthi take over of Sa’ada Governorate resulted in some IDPsreturning while others who were associated with pro-government tribes fled and took refuge in Amranand Sana’a Governorates. The current stabilization of the situation in Sa’ada has resulted inincreased humanitarian access in the Governorate. In Haradh, UN agencies have resumed fullmanagement responsibilities of Al Mazaraq Camp-II.This was not foreseen in the planning or scenario for the 2011 YHRP and has affected the funding andoperational capacities of the Cluster to manage the camp up to the end of July 2011 and the plannedrelocation of the camp residents to Al Mazaq Camp-III at the end of July 2011. Preparation of AlMazaq Camp-III is also needed to accommodate the 4,431 IDPs from Camp-II in addition to the preexisting4,235 IDPs in Camp-III.13The IDP camps in Sa’ada city are under ICRC/YRCS responsibility and not cover by the present cluster14 Includes 30% projection for 2010 and 20% for 201151

Y E M E NNeeds identified based on civil unrest and the high cost of living 15Many of those displaced following the civil unrest are hosted by families or friends while the majorityare living in over 30 collective centres including public facilities, mainly schools and unfinishedbuildings. Recent rapid needs assessments conducted in all IDP hosting areas revealed that shelter,NFIs, health, food, WASH and protection were the urgent needs identified by all groups. Some of theshelters are lack adequate privacy and are inappropriate and some even life-threatening. IDPs in anycase usually prefer to live outside camps due to cultural norms. With limited donor response, thesituation of IDPs could worsen still further and put more burdens on host communities which maycause tensions to rise and increase protection risks. Urgent efforts are needed to minimize theserisks and create peaceful environments between IDPs and host communities through communitybasedapproachesIn addition to the instability, the increased cost of living is of major concern as rising prices result in,amongst other things, rent and utilities going unpaid. Some IDPs experience threats and eviction byhouse owners due to the lack of rent payment. The general coping strategies of IDPs are the sale ofpersonal property including jewellery, mobile phones, borrowing of money from friends and 75% relyon humanitarian aid. Women, children, people with disabilities and older people are the mostvulnerable amongst the affected population especially those without any family or community support.Single female heads of household face high risks due to the high cost of living as they have limitedskills and were dependent on the men due to cultural norms. Women and girls also complained aboutthe lacked of privacy due to inadequate shelter and inadequate access to RH care.The displacement also results in the rights of children being increasingly violated; forced/earlymarriages of girls due to the poor economic situation of mainly single female heads of household isreported. Boys face their own difficulties such many in Haradh being used to smuggle qat into SaudiArabia, and who face abuse from border officials if they are caught. Some children, especially frommarginalized groups, are used for begging in the streets to support the families.Conflict in the northFollowing negotiations between the HCT and non-state actors in the north humanitarian access inSa’ada has increased since the Al-Houthi takeover in March. The Sa’ada Response Plan developedby the humanitarian community including the UN agencies led by OCHA will ensure protection andassistance during the initial recovery period pending handover to developmental actors given thelimited capacity of the government and de factor authorities. Given that an estimated number of70,000 people have voluntarily returned coupled with increased access, the Cluster will increase itsactivities including the rehabilitation of shelters, implementation of community-based projects, smallincome generating activities, provision of household items and basic skill trainings targeting mainlywomen, people with disabilities, older people and the marginalized groups.Conflict in the southIn the southern Governorate of Abyan fighting has displaced large numbers within the Governorate,and to the Governorates of Aden and Lahj. The districts mostly affected by the fighting anddisplacement include Khanfar and Zinjibar districts. All villages in Zinjibar have been affected, and it isestimated that 95% of the Zinjibar population has been displaced. The villages of Al-Kood and Ge'arof Khanfar District have also been largely affected. The level of displacement is still not fully assessedas access to the affected areas is impeded by the continued fighting.15 References: 1) 2011 IOM New IDP Report-Al Jawf, 2) 2011 UNHCR AGDM Report-Harad, Sanaa, Amran, 3) IDP Profiling 2010 Report, 4) InteragencyReport on new displacement from Abyan Governorate, 5) ADRA assessment report of IDPs in Sanaa, 6) Inter-agency rapid assessment report ofIDPs in Sana52

While Somali and Eritrean nationals primarily seek refugee protection,Ethiopians principally move to find employment opportunities in Yemen and the Gulf States, mainlySaudi Arabia, although a considerable minority request refugee protection.While low funding has been one of the challenges faced in covering the needs of refugee and asylumseekers, the security situation in the south and the current civil unrest present a greater challenge inmeeting the needs. The shortage raise in cost of fuel has hampered smooth running of activities.However there are no changes in the targets.RefugeesThe refugee population is expected to increase by 15-25% during 2011, adding up to 227,932, withsome 15,343 residing in camp and 212,589 essentially in urban areas. In the urban context, refugeesand asylum seekers need to be self-reliant. However, in a country of high unemployment andincreasing poverty the majority of refugees in urban areas face ever greater difficulties in living abovethe poverty line. Supporting peaceful coexistence between refugee and host communities willcontribute to a more favourable protection environment.55

Y E M E NDue to increased insecurity in Sana’a many refugees have sought assistance and protection fromUNHCR. In addition, following the increase in prices a number of refugees could not afford their rentand were evicted from their apartments. Finding a safe haven for urban refugees in the currentcontext has been a difficult task. It is important to note that UNHCR has already implemented a seriesof solutions that constantly evolve in light of the evolving situation in Sana’a. The objective is toprovide protection and assistance to conflict-affected refugees/displaced refugees with a safe haventhrough dignified shelter and provision of NFI assistance.MigrantsSince November 2010, when the 2011 YHRP was elaborated, many more migrants from the Horn ofAfrica have become stranded in Yemen. Approximately 7,000 Ethiopian irregular migrants arrived inYemen in March alone, in addition to some 2,000 Somalis. According to UNHCR, a total of 21,500migrants arrived in the first quarter of 2011. The majority of new arrivals are Ethiopian migrantsseeking work, rather than Somali asylum seekers. Haradh in Hajjah Governorate has an extremelyhigh concentration of Ethiopian migrants due to its close proximity to Saudi Arabia. In conjunction withthese new arrivals, the number of migrants forcibly returned from Saudi Arabia, destitute and with nomeans for sustenance or onward transportation has also increased.Over the past six months, the situation for many of these deported migrants has deteriorated to a lifethreateninglevel as they are stranded in Haradh due to heightened insecurity, conflict in the north, andthe de-facto closure of the Yemen-Saudi border. The situation in Haradh has worsened due to theincreased proportion of destitute migrants relying on local hospitality and underfunded servicesleading to some exasperation and growing misperceptions among the host Yemeni population thatmigrants are somehow contributing to the current instability.In November 2010, IOM anticipated assisting 3,200 irregular migrants throughout 2011. During theMYR, these targets have been increased to reflect the current needs. IOM aims to assist 2,000stranded migrants per month, up to a total of 12,000 beneficiaries over the next six months.56

Access for local community children was also below thenational figures, with only 49% of girls and 71% of boys accessing education. In addition to the factthat already existing needs are increasing, the civil unrest and the MoE’s decision to close schools twomonths early, has caused a severe disruption to the education of children all over the country. Withthe MoE suffering from lack of resources and barely able to fulfil the minimum, the Education Clusterstarted engaging more local NGOs and community groups to fill the gap.The education emergency response was initially focused mainly on children affected by the Sa’adaconflict, estimated at 100,000, and was confined to the Governorates of Sa’ada, Hajji and Amran.However, the second quarter of 2011 has seen a wide spread of civil unrest and conflict whichaffected almost all parts of the country. The fighting in the south has resulted in a large influx of IDPsfrom Abyan to Aden, Lahj and surrounding areas, with many schools in Aden and Lahj being used tohost IDPs fleeing from the conflict in Abyan. This adds an additional burden on the school system inthe south, puts an extra load on the schools’ maintenance needs with regard to WASH facilities andmay also lead to the disruption or delay in opening of schools in September. In addition the risingcost of living may have a negative effect on sustaining children’s enrolment. Families may rely onchild labour to survive, and this may potentially increase the need for greater awareness in the comingmonths to safeguard children’s rights to education. This need has also grown in major cities likeAden, Abyan, Taiz and Sana’a where unprecedented civil unrest has resulted in displacements anddisruption to people’s sources of income. As a result, many schools were closed and school year wasshortened by two months.Therefore, the geographical scope of the YHRP has expanded to cover the Governorates of Shabwa,Abyan, Aden, Dhale, Lahj, Taiz and Sana’a in. This is in addition to Sa’ada, Amran and Hajjah in thenorth. The YHRP’s projects have been amended in to respond to this development and to addressthe priority needs of ensuring equal access to quality and meaningful education for boys and girls;professional support to school principals and teachers; and support to the Ministry of Education toensure that educational delivery is better managed.60

Thus, proposed early recovery activities and support, inaddition to those integrated in the plans of other clusters, focus on mine clearance operations andemergency livelihood assistance.The Cluster does not report any significant changes and reconfirms earlier identified needs. However,given the current security situation in the country and severe shortages in funding, the Clusterresponse has been minimal. All proposed projects remain valid for the second half of 2011, with someminor modifications to refocus proposed interventions given the shorter time span. Indicators havealso been revised to match the programmatic changes.Further activities are planned to help decrease the vulnerability of IDPs by providing them withemergency livelihood opportunities. This support would primarily be directed towards IDPs in thesouth who have fled the violent confrontations in Abyan Governorate.62

It is not possibleto obtain timely and accurate information to better inform emergency response due to security andaccess issues in some areas. This is compounded by the fact that most clusters do not havededicated information management capacity to support their information collection, management anddissemination. Conflict-induced displacement nationwide necessitates humanitarian assistance innew areas of intervention, which calls for stronger coordination mechanisms in some of these areasthat OCHA does not currently have a presence. At the same time, overall coordination mechanismshave been greatly constrained by the drawdown of staff particularly cluster coordinators, limited fieldpresence in some locations (especially in the south) and security concerns.The significant increase and complexity of humanitarian drivers is also dramatically increasing theinformation management and analysis requirements within clusters and at an inter-cluster level. Themonitoring and information management requirements for slow-onset threats, particularly those drivenby the increasing failure of basic state services and the rising cost of living for non-displacedpopulations, requires new capacities. This is particularly true for areas of the country where there islikely to be new needs but for which there is limited presence of humanitarian actors.Although the HCT has been able to negotiate access to previously-unassisted war-affectedpopulations leading to an operational expansion in northern Yemen, this success will result in anincrease in the number of actors working in Sa’ada, and place increased demands on commonservices such as humanitarian air charter services and warehousing capacity. While the improvedaccess in the north provides the opportunity to deliver much needed humanitarian assistance throughlocal partners, it is not possible to conduct comprehensive needs assessments, some areas are stillinaccessible, and contain threats to the safety and security of humanitarian staff such as mines andUXO.New coordination and information management needs fall into five broad areas:1) geographic information system (GIS) mapping and data management for clusters and interclusterneeds analysis and coordination2) baseline vulnerability monitoring at household and community level3) common rapid assessment methodology and response capacity for new and emerging crises indiscrete locations4) improved and evidence based advocacy on humanitarian access and other priority inter-clusterthemes63

Y E M E N5) outreach and communication to beneficiaries of humanitarian assistanceSecurityThe volatile and unpredictable security situation is placing a great strain on the United NationsDepartment of Safety and Security (UNDSS) capacity to respond in real time, with reliable informationand advice on safety and security to better inform programme criticality and continuity. This placesenormous risks and demands on the existing human resource. Although most INGOs continue tooperate in the country many have changed their mode of operation, such as working remotely or withscaled down staff. Two INGOs have suspended operations in Yemen for the time being. A number ofnew NGOs are also coming into the country with a focus on engaging in humanitarian programming,while other NGOs are shifting from development to humanitarian programming. Local NGOs havetaken on a more prominent role in programming, but hampered by low capacity and limited funding.LogisticsThe HCT requested the activation of the Logistics Sub-Cluster, focusing on improved emergencypreparedness and response, provision of an information sharing platform including GIS, strengthenedcoordination, enhanced capacity to respond to needs, and advocacy for the smooth importation ofrelief goods. This project caters for the assets, staff and systems necessary to enhance thepredictability, timeliness and efficiency of the emergency response under the cluster approach, and tofacilitate the access of humanitarian personnel and light cargo to the affected areas and ensureoperational continuity.Due to the prevailing security situation, no flights have operated from Sana’a to Sa’ada since the thirdweek of March. WFP/ United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) managed to have 16 flightsin the first quarter of the year. The Logistics Sub-Cluster has effectively shared information on landroutes and transportation, port and shipping, storage and warehousing, commodity management andprovided GIS maps to various UN agencies and NGOs. Based on the fuel requirements submitted byvarious humanitarian agencies, the Sub-Cluster will endeavour to obtain provision of fuel in threegeographical locations namely in the capital Sana’a, in Haradh and in Aden to bridge the current gaptill the situation normalizes.Significant Achievements to DateCoordinationOCHA has been able to proactively respond to the changing humanitarian situation by providingenhanced coordination support to new emergency hot spots in the south and north, provided regularand reliable information updates on the humanitarian situation, and ensured predictable and timelyfunding to respond to the crisis in real time through the CERF and ERF funding mechanisms. OCHAhas actively engaged in humanitarian dialogue with both government and non-state actors to ensureimproved humanitarian access to Sa’ada governorate which was previously inaccessible tohumanitarian actors. This has been through a process of continuous dialogue, establishments ofbinding commitments with the Al-Houthi and regular updates.However, owing to the changes in the security and programming context, it is becoming increasinglydifficult to obtain relevant and credible information to improve analysis to support clusters’programming needs. There is no cluster dedicated information management capacity, and the limitedavailable staffing dedicates very limited attention to information management. Further, the IDPExecutive Unit is greatly lacking in capacity to support the information needs of humanitarianagencies. Similarly, overall coordination mechanisms have been greatly constrained by the drawdownof staff particularly cluster coordinators, limited field presence in some locations, especially in thesouth, and security concerns.SecurityUNDSS has been able to strengthen the security and safety of humanitarian staff, by providing realtime and weekly security updates and advise to the HCT and individual agencies on programme64

4. CLUSTER RESPONSE PLANScriticality to enable agencies stay and operate safely in a high risk environment, This is supported byrisk analysis and evacuation planning which continues to inform both operational planning forhumanitarian actors and prioritisation for the overall response. UNDSS has also been engaged in riskanalysis and evacuation planningHowever, it has been difficult to ensure a more coordinated and common operating picture of thesafety and security situation, linked to humanitarian access to populations at risk, to better informprogramme criticality planning due to the fairly disjointed nature of actors and limited informationmanagement capacity to support enhanced data collection activities and analysis to better informresponse.Logistics Sub-ClusterFuel supplyIn May 2011, as Yemen began to face a chronic shortage in fuel, the Logistics sub-cluster facilitatedby WFP was officially tasked by the Security Management Team (SMT)/HCT to procure adequatequantities of fuel to ensure operational continuity for humanitarian actors. The sub-cluster has so farprocured and distributed 122,000 litres of fuel to agencies, in two batches which, although animpressive figure given the contextual difficulties, only amounts to some 28% of overall assessed fuelrequirements of 430,000 litres. The Logistics sub-cluster is working to secure six-months fuelrequirements for all humanitarian actors to continue operations throughout the latter half of 2011, andis preparing adequate fuel storage units nationwide. This policy will be reviewed as the situationevolves.Logistics coordination and common servicesThe Logistics Sub-cluster has worked to enhance the predictability and efficiency of humanitarianactivities in Yemen via regular meetings and stronger coordination among UN and INGO logisticsunits, as well as comprehensive information sharing between logistics units. The Sub-Cluster has alsoundertaken a number of activities to provide common services to UN agencies and INGOs, includingproviding a chartered air service to Sa’ada governorate with OCHA support through ERF funding,expansion of warehousing capacity as needed, and more recently responding to the severe fuelshortage in Yemen. Over the first half of 2011, additional mobile warehouses were installed to expandstorage capacity for humanitarian operations in northern Yemen through, for example, theprocurement of two wiik-halls for Al-Mazraq camp as a common facility for all agencies.From November 2010 to March 2011, 25 flights to Sa’ada city were facilitated transporting 357passengers from 11 UN agencies, INGOs and NGOs, as well as government officials and mediarepresentatives. Throughout the first half of 2011, ensuring continuous and regular access to Sa’adacity remained problematic. From November 2010 to March 2011, 22 flight requests were cancelleddue to lack of official security clearance or technical issues with the air charter company. Since the Al-Houthi’s established de facto control over Sa’ada, no flight requests have been granted. To mitigatethis challenge, the Sub-Cluster is exploring alternative options such as a dedicated UNHAS plane inYemen. This would reduce the reliance on a single local air service operator whose present capacityis at times constrained.65

Y E M E N5. FORWARD VIEW5.1 EARLY PLANNING FOR THE 2012 YHRPIt is fully expected that the situation in Yemen will require a major and coordinated humanitarianresponse plan for 2012. A worst-case contingency could mean a major crisis displacing millions ofpeople. Humanitarian partners will continue to focus on developing contextually appropriate strategiesto maintain programme delivery despite increasing security threats to their operations. Humanitarianpartners will use the concept of ‘programme criticality’, where projects are evaluated and prioritizedbased on the delivery of the most critical needs of target populations as a basis to maintain staff incountry despite increased threat levels. (See needs assessment plan for 2012 CAP in Annex II.)These measures will be essential as humanitarian partners continue to deliver essential life-savingassistance during a prolonged period of uncertainty and instability in Yemen. The planning for the2012 YHRP will begin in September 2011 with a workshop involving all humanitarian partners. Giventhe complex and dynamic humanitarian situation in Yemen the HCT is committed to the followingelements as a foundation for the 2012 YHRP.Increasing partnership – The HCT is committed to continue increasing the participation of nationaland international NGO partners, as well as civil society groups in the YHRP process. Increasing thisparticipation will mark a strategic shift towards civil society partnership, and will be an essential step inadequately addressing the steadily increasing humanitarian needs in Yemen.Enhancing information management – The HCT has acknowledged the need for increasedattention to needs assessment to fill all key information gaps by the start of the 2012 YHRPdevelopment season in September 2011. Given the rapidly changing political and securityenvironment in Yemen, the HCT will continue discussions on the details of these needs assessmentsand will implement an appropriate plan of action. The Integrated Information ManagementProgramme under the current YHRP is the first phase in a larger project envisaged for the 2012 YHRPthat will focus on the development of detailed district level needs maps for each cluster using agreedindicators. As a part of this enhanced information management coordination, OCHA will coordinatethe development of more robust indicators to support the monitoring of the overall strategic objectives.OCHA will work closely with cluster leads to ensure that the indicators are meaningful andmeasurable.Strengthening coordination – Humanitarian partners supported by OCHA will develop a work planand formal terms of reference for the Inter-Cluster Coordination Forum. As preparation for the 2012YHRP, humanitarian partners will continue ongoing work related to preparedness for a worsening ofthe current crisis through the inter-agency contingency plan. The contingency plan will developrevised worst-case scenarios, focused around the shift towards civil society partners and INGOs.Humanitarian partners will focus on the development of contextually appropriate strategies, tactics andoutputs designed to maintain programme delivery despite increasing security threats to ouroperations. Partners will use ‘programme criticality’ as a basis for this approach.Given the strong likelihood of a prolonged humanitarian crisis amidst an environment of chronicunderdevelopment, increased coordination through the 2012 YHRP will provide a unique opportunityto increase practitioner and donor focus on the Yemen crisis. Increased coordination through widerpartnership and robust information management will together help mobilize the resources andexpertise required to save lives and support livelihoods in Yemen.Increasing focus on early recovery – Despite the upswing in humanitarian need, the 2012 YHRPshould renew a focus on early recovery issues in areas where this is operationally and strategicallypossible. For example, recent humanitarian access and relative stability in Sa’ada provides a windowof opportunity to demonstrate the feasibility and stabilizing benefits of early recovery programming.This focus requires strategic as well as financial support from all humanitarian partners.68

Consolidated Appeal Process (CAP)The CAP is a tool for aid organizations to jointly plan, coordinate, implement and monitor theirresponse to disasters and emergencies, and to appeal for funds together instead of competitively.It is the forum for developing a strategic approach to humanitarian action, focusing on closecooperation between host governments, donors, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), theInternational Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, International Organization for Migration(IOM) and, United Nations agencies. As such, it presents a snapshot of the situation andresponse plans, and is an inclusive and coordinated programme cycle of:• strategic planning leading to a Common Humanitarian Action Plan (CHAP);• resource mobilization leading to a Consolidated Appeal or a Flash Appeal;• coordinated programme implementation;• joint monitoring and evaluation;• revision, if necessary;• Reporting on results.The CHAP is the core of the CAP – a strategic plan for humanitarian response in a given countryor region, including the following elements:• A common analysis of the context in which humanitarian action takes place;• An assessment of needs;• Best, worst, and most likely scenarios;• A clear statement of longer-term objectives and goals;• Prioritised response plans, including a detailed mapping of projects to cover all needs;• A framework for monitoring the strategy and revising it if necessary.The CHAP is the core of a Consolidated Appeal or, when crises break out or natural disastersstrike, a Flash Appeal. Under the leadership of the Humanitarian Coordinator, and in consultationwith host governments and donors, the CHAP is developed at the field level by the HumanitarianCountry Team. This team includes IASC members and standing invitees (UN agencies, theInternational Organization for Migration, the International Red Cross and Red CrescentMovement, and NGOs that belong to ICVA, Interaction, or SCHR), but non-IASC members, suchas national NGOs, can also be included.The Humanitarian Coordinator is responsible for the annual preparation of the consolidatedappeal document. The document is launched globally near the end of each year to enhanceadvocacy and resource mobilization. An update, known as the Mid-Year Review, is presented todonors the following July.Donors generally fund appealing agencies directly in response to project proposals listed inappeals. The Financial Tracking Service (FTS), managed by the United Nations Office for theCoordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), is a database of appeal funding needs andworldwide donor contributions, and can be found on http://fts.unocha.org.In sum, the CAP is how aid agencies join forces to provide people in need the bestavailable protection and assistance, on time.
