OCHA - Support to the Yemen Humanitarian Fund (YHF) 2023-2024
The Yemen Humanitarian Fund provides a principled, flexible, timely, and coordinated response towards meeting the most critical and acute needs identified in the Humanitarian Response Plan through the provision of funding for international and national NGOs and UN entities. Switzerland’s multi-year contribution strengthens this instrument more generally and specifically supports its aims to prioritize the hard-to-reach areas, anticipatory action and increased localization of the response.

| Hintergrund | After eight years of conflict, the humanitarian situation in Yemen is one of the worst globally and and has deteriorated since the resumption of armed conflict in 2015. 21.6 million people (two-third of Yemen's population) are now in need of some form of humanitarian assistance or protection; out of these, 40 percent are children. The environment for humanitarian interventions is challenging with complex and manifold and access constraints. The 2023 YHRP requires USD 4.3 billion to reach 21.6 million people in need, out of which 17.3 million will be targeted. The underfunded humanitarian response in 2022 has led to programmatic cuts in multiple sectors. It was 55 per cent funded, with US$2.33 billion received out of the required $4.27 billion. |
| Ziele | Timely, coordinated and principled assistance is provided to save lives, alleviate suffering and maintain human dignity. |
| Zielgruppen | Yemenis in need of humanitarian assistance, notably conflict-affected populations, internally displaced persons (IDPs), host communities, and returning IDPs, possibly refugees, asylum-seekers and migrants. |

Erwartete Resultate: In line with the YHRP objectives, the YHF will prioritise area-based aproaches, integrated multicluster response, and intervention in hard-to-reach areas to ensure that the most critical needs are met. In 2023, the YHF will focus on the following two strategic priorities: (i) Responding to the most critical acute needs as identified in the YHRP and (ii) Enabling life-saving interventions in hard-to-reach areas. Resultate von früheren Phasen: In 2022, 25 donors contributed a total of USD 101 million to the YHF, making it the fourth largest country-based pooled fund (CBPF) in the world. In 2022, The YHF allocated USD 77.5 million (including USD 36.6 million from the reserve) to 105 projects with 54 partners in 138 districts of Yemen across all sectors of need through one standard and three reserve allocations. 43% of the funds went directly to national implementing organizations, an increase of more than 21% compared to the previous year. Over 4.99 million people (cumulatively) were supported through humanitarian assistance funded by the YHF in 2022. |
