These challenges have weakened governance systems, disrupted economic activity, and increased poverty, food insecurity, and vulnerability across the country.<br> While humanitarian assistance remains essential, sustainable recovery requires longer-term investments in livelihoods, economic resilience, local governance, institutional strengthening, and climate-resilient agriculture.</p><br> <p>UNDP is implementing a portfolio of complementary projects to address these interconnected challenges. This includes the Resilient Economies and Sustainable Livelihoods for Empowerment in Yemen (RESOLVE) project funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) ; the Local Governance for Area-based Development (LoGABD) project funded by the European Union (EU) ; and the Climate-Resilient Agriculture and Job Opportunities in Yemen (SANABEL) project, also funded by the EU. These projects are designed with a synergistic, area-based approach to maximize impact and efficiency.</p><br> <p>RESOLVE (SDC) focuses on strengthening the resilience and economic empowerment of vulnerable communities in Marib and Hadramout governorates by promoting sustainable livelihoods through agribusiness development, agricultural value chain strengthening, improved access to finance, and enhanced local economic governance.</p><br> <p>LoGABD (EU) aims to strengthen the capacity of local authorities across seven governorates (Aden, Hadramout, Lahj, Marib, Taiz, Al Mahrah, Socotra) to effectively plan, budget, finance, and deliver public services, manage IDP populations, and foster climate resilience. It focuses on institutionalizing training hubs, improving public financial management, completing community-prioritized public works, and operationalizing Local Economic Development Councils and Local Development Funds.</p><br> <p>SANABEL (EU) is a joint FAO-UNDP project focused on climate-resilient agriculture and job creation. It aims to increase crop and livestock productivity through Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) and ecosystem-based adaptation (led by FAO) and strengthen climate-resilient agricultural value chains to generate decent jobs, formalized businesses, and inclusive economic growth (led by UNDP).<br> </p><br> <p><strong>Position Purpose</strong></p><br> <p>By combining these three projects under one management umbrella, this position will ensure coherent and integrated implementation, maximize synergies, and leverage UNDP's expertise in governance, economic recovery, and resilience-building.

Office/Unit/Project Description </strong></p><br> <p>Yemen is experiencing one of the world’s most severe humanitarian crises, shaped by prolonged conflict, political instability, and deep economic decline. These factors have severely undermined state institutions, fragmented governance structures, and reduced fiscal capacity, contributing to widespread poverty, food insecurity, and vulnerability. Social cohesion remains under pressure, particularly in rural areas where access to livelihoods, employment, agricultural resources, and basic services is severely constrained. Environmental fragility and increasing exposure to climate shocks further exacerbate vulnerability, particularly for communities dependent on agriculture. </p><br> <p>Short-term humanitarian interventions, although indispensable for alleviating the immediate impact of the emergencies on vulnerable communities, cannot steer more fundamental recovery nor address the underlying underdevelopment causes of the conflict. Situation analysis reveals critical gaps in transitioning from short-term humanitarian assistance to sustainable development approaches. </p><br> <p>According to a recent UNDP study (2024), the prevailing focus on immediate food assistance has not sufficiently addressed structural vulnerabilities, as there is a weak correlation between the scale of humanitarian aid and improvements in food security. Cash assistance programs provide short-term relief but often contribute to inflation and do not resolve the underlying causes of poverty. Governance deficits, logistical challenges, bureaucratic barriers, and insecurity further limit effective aid delivery, especially in remote and hard-to-reach areas. </p><br> <p>As a result, there is a pressing need to integrate longer-term interventions in the local food systems that promote food security through economic development, enhance productivity and value addition, support private sector growth, and create sustainable livelihoods, while strengthening the supply of goods and services. </p><br> <p>This project responds to these realities by adopting a resilience-oriented approach that integrates the Humanitarian–Development–Peace (HDP) Nexus. The intervention scope focuses on sustainable livelihoods and value chain development through agricultural support (technical innovation, seed distribution, irrigation rehabilitation, livestock care, and crop diversification); agribusiness development (strengthening value chains, institutionalizing climate-resilient practices, and shock protection); strengthening the business enabling environment (collaboration between agribusinesses, private sector, and local authorities); microfinance (microloans, savings groups, and financial literacy); and support for vulnerable groups including IDPs, women, and youth through inclusive, gender-sensitive livelihood opportunities.</p><br> <p>The RESOLVE project is implemented in close synergy with the Local Governance for Area-Based Development (LoGABD) project and the Climate-Resilient Agriculture and Job Opportunities in Yemen (SANABEL) project, forming an integrated portfolio under the Area-Based Development (ABD) framework. The Gender Analyst will therefore be expected to ensure gender mainstreaming coherence across this portfolio, working collaboratively with gender focal points and technical teams across all three projects to maximize synergies and avoid duplication.</p><br> <p>Gender equality is a significant objective across all components of this project and engagement, and empowerment of women is key to achieving the aimed results.</p><br> <p><strong>2. Scope of Work </strong></p><br> <p>The primary objective of the position is to provide technical leadership and advisory support to ensure that gender equality, women's empowerment, and social inclusion are effectively mainstreamed across the Integrated Resilience and Governance Programme in Yemen and related portfolio projects (RESOLVE, LoG4ABD, and SANABEL), ensuring that gender-responsive approaches are integrated throughout project design, implementation, monitoring, reporting, and knowledge management.</p><br> <p><strong>Provides technical leadership and coordination support, focusing on the achievement of the following functions:</strong></p><br> <p><strong>1. Gender Mainstreaming and Technical Advisory</strong></p><br> <ul> <li>Lead the integration of gender equality and women's empowerment across all project components, ensuring interventions are gender-responsive and aligned with UNDP Gender Equality Strategy and corporate policies. </li> <li>Provide technical guidance to project teams, Responsible Parties (RPs), consultants, and implementing partners on gender-sensitive programming across livelihoods, local governance, value chains, MSME development, climate-resilient agriculture, financial inclusion, and private sector engagement. </li> <li>Review project documents, work plans, Terms of Reference, training materials, and implementation tools to ensure effective integration of gender and social inclusion considerations. </li> <li>Identify opportunities to strengthen project interventions through practical and context-specific gender-responsive approaches that address the needs of women, youth, internally displaced persons (IDPs), persons with disabilities, and other vulnerable groups. </li> </ul> <p><strong>2. Gender Analysis, Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting</strong></p><br> <ul> <li>Lead the development and implementation of systems to collect, analyze, and report sex-, age-, and disability-disaggregated data across all project interventions.</li> <li>Integrate gender indicators into Results-Based Management (RBM), monitoring and evaluation frameworks, and project reporting systems. </li> <li>Conduct periodic gender analyses, assessments, and audits to evaluate the effectiveness of project interventions and recommend corrective measures where required. </li> <li>Ensure all internal and external reports adequately reflect gender-related achievements, lessons learned, challenges, and recommendations in compliance with UNDP corporate requirements. </li> </ul> <p><strong>3. Capacity Development and Institutional Strengthening</strong></p><br> <ul> <li>Design and deliver capacity-building programmes, training workshops, coaching sessions, and awareness activities for project staff, Responsible Parties, government counterparts, contractors, local authorities, and other stakeholders on gender mainstreaming and social inclusion. </li> <li>Develop practical tools, guidance notes, and gender mainstreaming resources to strengthen institutional capacity and support the integration of gender-responsive approaches throughout project implementation. </li> <li>Support partners in institutionalizing gender-sensitive planning, implementation, monitoring, and reporting mechanisms. </li> </ul> <p><strong>4. Partnerships, Coordination, and Advocacy</strong></p><br> <ul> <li>Establish and maintain strategic partnerships with government institutions, women's organizations, civil society organizations, research institutions, private sector partners, and development agencies to promote gender equality and inclusive development. </li> <li>Coordinate closely with UNDP gender focal points, project teams, and implementing partners to ensure harmonized implementation of gender-related activities across the portfolio. </li> <li>Promote advocacy initiatives and facilitate dialogue to strengthen awareness and commitment to gender equality and women's economic empowerment among project stakeholders. </li> </ul> <p><strong>5.

Gender Equality, Social Inclusion, and Safeguards</strong></p><br> <ul> <li>Ensure gender equality, human rights, and Leave No One Behind (LNOB) principles are integrated throughout project planning, implementation, monitoring, and reporting. </li> <li>Promote inclusive participation and equitable access to project benefits for women, youth, IDPs, persons with disabilities, and other marginalized groups. </li> <li>Ensure project activities comply with UNDP's Gender Equality Strategy, Social and Environmental Standards (SES), and other relevant corporate policies and safeguard requirements.</li> </ul> <p>The incumbent performs other duties within their functional profile as deemed necessary for the efficient functioning of the Office and the Organization. </p><br> <p><strong>3. Institutional Arrangement</strong></p><br> <p>Under the direct supervision of the UNDP Project Manager for Integrated Resilience and Governance Programme in Yemen and in close collaboration with the project team, Responsible Parties (RPs), the LoG4ABD and SANABL project teams, gender focal points across the portfolio and the UNDP Country Office, the Gender Analyst will provide technical leadership to ensure that gender equality and women's empowerment are systematically integrated across all project components and across the broader RESOLVE-LoGABD-SANABEL projects within the portfolio. Moving beyond symbolic inclusion, the analyst will embed gender mainstreaming into the very fabric of operational practice, advising on the design and implementation of interventions—from agricultural support and value chain development to microfinance, local governance strengthening, public financial management, climate-resilient agriculture and private sector engagement—so that they are explicitly responsive to the distinct barriers, needs, and capacities of women, men, youth, IDPs, persons with disabilities and displaced populations. This involves proactively identifying opportunities to strengthen project activities, developing tailored tools and frameworks for partners, and championing realistic, context-sensitive gender strategies that can adapt to Yemen’s fluid operating environment while driving measurable progress toward gender equality outcomes.</p><br> <p><strong>4.

Description </p><br> <p>Yemen continues to face a severe humanitarian and development crisis driven by prolonged conflict, economic decline, and institutional fragility. These challenges have weakened governance systems, disrupted economic activity, and increased poverty, food insecurity, and vulnerability across the country. </p><br> <p> While humanitarian assistance remains essential, sustainable recovery requires longer-term investments in livelihoods, economic resilience, local governance, institutional strengthening, and climate-resilient agriculture. </p><br> <p> UNDP is implementing a portfolio of complementary projects to address these interconnected challenges. This includes the Resilient Economies and Sustainable Livelihoods for Empowerment in Yemen (RESOLVE) project funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) ; the Local Governance for Area-based Development (LoGABD) project funded by the European Union (EU) ; and the Climate-Resilient Agriculture and Job Opportunities in Yemen (SANABEL) project, also funded by the EU. These projects are designed with a synergistic, area-based approach to maximize impact and efficiency. </p><br> <p> RESOLVE (SDC) focuses on strengthening the resilience and economic empowerment of vulnerable communities in Marib and Hadramout governorates by promoting sustainable livelihoods through agribusiness development, agricultural value chain strengthening, improved access to finance, and enhanced local economic governance. </p><br> <p> LoGABD (EU) aims to strengthen the capacity of local authorities across seven governorates (Aden, Hadramout, Lahj, Marib, Taiz, Al Mahrah, Socotra) to effectively plan, budget, finance, and deliver public services, manage IDP populations, and foster climate resilience. It focuses on institutionalizing training hubs, improving public financial management, completing community-prioritized public works, and operationalizing Local Economic Development Councils and Local Development Funds. </p><br> <p> SANABEL (EU) is a joint FAO-UNDP project focused on climate-resilient agriculture and job creation. It aims to increase crop and livestock productivity through Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) and ecosystem-based adaptation (led by FAO) and strengthen climate-resilient agricultural value chains to generate decent jobs, formalized businesses, and inclusive economic growth (led by UNDP). </p><br> <p>By combining these three projects under one management umbrella, this position will ensure coherent and integrated implementation, maximize synergies, and leverage UNDP's expertise in governance, economic recovery, and resilience building. This portfolio approach aligns with the Area-Based Development (ABD) framework, ensuring that local priorities, as articulated in Governorate Economic and Social Development Plans, are effectively addressed. The incumbent will report to the UNDP Team Leader -Governance & Peacebuilding Portfolio and will provide strategic leadership and day-to-day management to the combined project team. </p><br> <p>The role requires exceptional leadership, strategic coordination, and stakeholder management skills, with a particular emphasis on governance and institutional strengthening,and the ability to deliver results across multiple complex and fragile environments. </p><br> <p><strong> 2.

<p><strong>Tiered Approach - This position is open to all Tiers Open to internal and external applicants</strong></p><br> <p>In line with the commitment to safeguard capacity and support personnel already in the Organization, a majority of UNDP UNCDF/UNV vacancies are advertised using a tiered application process whereby:</p><br> <ul> <li><strong>Tier 0</strong>: UNDP/UNCDF/UNV IP staff holding permanent (PA) and fixed-term (FTA) appointments, whose posts will be abolished, or contracts will be terminated or not renewed during 2026.</li> <li><strong>Tier 1</strong>: Other UNDP/UNCDF/UNV staff holding permanent (PA) and fixed-term (FTA) appointments</li> <li><strong>Tier 2</strong>: UNDP/UNCDF/UNV staff holding temporary appointments (TA), personnel on regular PSA contracts, and Expert and Specialist UN Volunteers</li> <li><strong>Tier 3 or no tier indicated</strong>: All other contract types from UNDP/UNCDF/UNV and other agencies, and other external candidates</li> </ul> <p>Please make note of the Tier(s) indicated in the vacancy title, if any, and ensure that you satisfy the eligibility to apply.</p><br> <p><strong>Background</strong></p><br> <p>The ongoing conflict in Yemen has resulted in a catastrophic humanitarian crisis. Over 80 percent of Yemen’s population is estimated to need humanitarian assistance, and more than 2.5 million Yemenis have become IDPs. The ongoing conflict has destroyed much of the institutional ability of key ministries, governorates, and local authorities to deliver essential social services to citizens. Public service restoration is also essential for a smooth transition to recovery, as a political agreement is being negotiated. Combining communities’ own efforts with whatever limited state institutional capacity remains are needed to both curtail further humanitarian deterioration and the political ramifications of total state collapse. Yemen is one of the most food insecure countries in the world. Around 20 million people (70 percent of the population) are facing hunger, a 13 percent increase from 2017. The current conflict has led to a decline in the national economy. Gross Domestic Product was cut in half since 2015, and more than 80 percent of the population living below the poverty line. The fighting around the country’s seaports and the ensuing suspension of commercial imports and supply shortages, the depreciation of the Yemeni riyal, which is now worth barely a third of 2015 level, have combined to push the food prices up. Only half of health facilities are functioning, and many Yemenis in need of critical treatments especially for malnutrition are too poor to access the ones that are open. Beyond those at risk of famine, many millions with only emergency food assistance to survive, face a collapse in their immune systems – especially children and the elderly – increasing their vulnerability to malnutrition, cholera and other diseases. Chronic water shortages exacerbate food insecurity and risk of famine in areas where people depend on agriculture for food and income.</p><br> <p>This heightened crisis is calling for scaled-up support to address the immediate needs while also leveraging and enhancing national capacities and systems for resilience-building for populations in Yemen with increased vulnerabilities that can complement a largely insufficient humanitarian response and at the same time for the need to maintain the existing capacities and mechanisms at local and national level to maintain the foundation for future reconstruction and recovery.</p><br> <p>The World Bank funded projects aim to Improve access to food and, nutritious diets, social protection, economic opportunities, food security and effective management of water sector in Yemen.
