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. This is done through several activities including infrastructure rehabilitation, support to improve agriculture production and quality by reducing post-harvest losses and improving climate resilience and access to markets</p><br> <p>While ensuring direct support in a fragile context, UNDP, in partnership with the WB is also strategizing to ensure that short term benefits are translated into longer term development impact.<br> </p><br> <p><strong>Position Purpose</strong></p><br> <p>UNDP is seeking to recruit a Chief Technical Advisor to manage three World Bank funded projects.
