Unique terrestrial and marine ecosystems, including globally significant island biodiversity, extensive coral reefs, diverse highland agro-ecosystems, and culturally important dryland forests, provide essential services that underpin livelihoods, food security, water systems, and cultural identity across the country. </p><br> <br> <p> Yet Yemen faces a complex set of environmental and development challenges. Institutional capacity constraints, limited environmental monitoring, and pressures on public resources have affected the management of natural ecosystems. </p><br> <br> <p> Yemen’s ability to address biodiversity threats is severely hindered by prolonged conflict, economic collapse, and weak governance, which have eroded enforcement capacity and drained resources for environmental management. Fragmented institutions limited technical expertise, and insufficient scientific data further constrain effective planning and monitoring. High community dependence on natural resources for livelihoods, combined with security challenges in some areas, exacerbates habitat degradation, while low public awareness limits grassroots engagement in conservation. </p><br> <br> <p>The Global Environment Facility (GEF) Small Grants Programme (SGP) is implemented by UNDP on behalf of the GEF Partnership. UNDP oversees the Small Grants Programme (SGP) through the Vertical Hub and the Nature Hub of Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS). Funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the Small Grants Programme efficiently channels direct grants to non-governmental and community-based organizations to help them cope with climate change; conserve biodiversity; protect international waters; reduce the impact of Persistent Organic Pollutants; and prevent land degradation. Helping communities with their initiatives for sustainable livelihoods while generating global environmental benefits is the core inspiration of the Small Grants Programme. </p><br> <br> <p>Launched in 1992 as a corporate programme of the GEF, the GEF Small Grants Programme (GEF SGP) has supported local action for over thirty years to address global environmental concerns. SGP aims to deliver global environmental benefits in the GEF focal areas of biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, protection of international waters, prevention of land degradation, and elimination of persistent organic pollutants through community-based approaches. To date, SGP has funded over 29,000 community-based projects covering more than 120 countries. It has gained considerable experiences at the community level, including adapting to climate change while addressing issues of the GEF focal areas.

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.
