Economic, Developmental and Humanitarian Priorities in Yemen Yemen is a country that has experienced a period of prevalent destabilization, particularly since September 2014. The recent civil war has had tremendous negative impacts on the wider Yemeni population since it has undermined the effective operations of the country’s governance systems and functions. The violence from the recent widespread destabilization has generated devastating effects on Yemeni’s developmental progress, economic growth, social integration, and generated a major humanitarian situation. The international community has been on high alert as the situation in Yemen continues to worsen. As a result, rebuilding or developing Yemen has become a major priority, especially in the context of humanitarian, economic, and developmental aspects.

One of the key areas in developing Yemen is security given that the recent crisis has contributed to poor security conditions and vicious fighting that result in a severe humanitarian problem.

Water development initiatives as of September 2017 include launching numerous water and sanitation projects for displaced people and isolated communities. There is also a focus on increasing the number of deep boreholes and water reservoirs in villages and communities affected by the war. This is regarded as a key priority towards enhancing access to clean drinking water and improving availability of water for agricultural purposes. Several governmental and non-governmental organizations are also working to rehabilitate water supply systems in urban and rural settings like Sana’a, Aden, Amran, Hodeida, and Shafar.
