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.

This coastal zone lies at the confluence of the Red Sea and the western Indian Ocean, forming part of a globally significant marine ecosystem renowned for its rich mosaic of habitats, high species diversity, and many endemic species . Its waters sustain vibrant coral reefs, extensive seagrass beds, and scattered mangrove forests, which collectively harbor extraordinary biodiversity. More than 300 species of reef-building corals and 1,300+ species of fish inhabit the Red Sea–Gulf of Aden region, alongside ~170 bird species, 20 species of marine mammals, and countless invertebrates . Yemen’s shores provide critical nesting and feeding grounds for endangered five sea turtle species as well as vital stopover sites for seabirds and habitat for charismatic species like dolphins and reef sharks. Such natural wealth underpins the global conservation value of Yemen’s southern coast, marking it as an ecological hotspot that contributes significantly to the planet’s marine and coastal biodiversity heritage .</p><br> <p>Equally important is the role of these coastal and marine ecosystems in bolstering climate resilience and sustainable development for the region. Fringing coral reefs and mangrove-lined bays serve as natural storm barriers, protecting coastal communities from erosion and extreme weather by dissipating wave energy. In addition, healthy wetlands and coral reefs stabilize coastal line and sustain water quality, while extensive seagrass beds and coral nurseries support fisheries that are the lifeblood of local livelihoods. Indeed, Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) along this coastline have for generations depended on artisanal fisheries (supporting ~1.7 million people and employing 20% of coastal population) and mangrove wood harvesting for their sustenance and economic well-being. Many coastal villages derive their primary income and food security from the sea, meaning that intact ecosystems are directly tied to community resilience and cultural heritage . Moreover, community-led ecotourism initiatives are increasingly offering alternative livelihood opportunities that both generate income and reinforce economic importance of coastal and marine ecosystems.</p><br> <p>Yemen’s coastal ecosystems, despite their high conservation, economic and adaptation value, face escalating threats requiring urgent, targeted interventions. Habitat loss and degradation are already severe: e.g., mangrove cover in parts of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden has plummeted from approximately 40 km² in the late 1900s to around 19 km² by 2019, driven by logging, coastal construction, and unsustainable development . Overexploitation of marine resources continues unabated, depleting fish, invertebrate, and shark populations, and undermining marine ecosystem health: e.g., fish catches in Yemen have dramatically dropped—from approximately 400,000 tons in 1993 to just 50,000 tons in 2023 . Pollution further intensifies these pressures, including oil spills from tankers and plastic and solid waste accumulation on beaches, in mangroves, and lagoons. Meanwhile, climate change compounds these threats. Warming seas are fueling unprecedented coral bleaching affecting approximately 35% of the coral reefs in the Yemen waters . Additionally, rising sea levels are projected to inundate Yemen’s coastal landscapes, with up to 0.2 m of rise by 2050 and 0.67 m by 2100 in key areas like Aden, threatening mangroves, wetlands, infrastructure, and freshwater supplies . </p><br> <p>Yemen’s ability to address coastal 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. There are no Protected Areas established and no ongoing conservation initiatives in the Yemen’s southern coastline spanning Shabwah, Hadramaut, Lahj, and Taiz governorates.</p><br> <p>Without swift action, the region could suffer irreversible loss of species and the collapse of services that buffer communities from climate extremes. This critical situation justifies urgent GBFF investment to safeguard and restore Yemen’s coastal ecosystems. The proposed initiative is designed as a timely response that aligns with the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) Targets: it will promote integrated spatial planning (Target 1) to curb biodiversity loss, drive coastal ecosystem restoration of degraded mangroves, and lagoons (Target 2), expand conserved areas and ecological connectivity along the coast (Target 3) and ensures that conservation is coupled with the sustainable use of biodiversity by IPLCs (Target 5).</p><br> <p><strong>The GBFF project Objective and Strategies</strong></p><br> <p>The suggested project Objective is <i>to enhance biodiversity conservation in Yemen’s coastal governorates (Shabwah, Hadramaut, Lahj, and Taiz) by establishing protected area network, restoring critical coastal ecosystems, and empowering local communities. </i>The Objective is going to be achieved through implementation of four project strategies (Components):</p><br> <ul> <li><strong>Component 1:</strong> <i>Strengthening coastal and marine ecosystem conservation in Yemen through the establishment of new Protected Areas; </i></li> <li><strong>Component 2: </strong><i>Restoration of coastal ecosystem having high biodiversity conservation, economic, and adaptation value</i>;</li> <li><strong>Component 3:</strong> <i>Blue and green livelihoods for coastal IPLCs contributing to biodiversity conservation and ecosystem restoration</i>; and</li> <li><strong>Component 4: </strong><i>Awareness campaign, knowledge management, and lessons learning</i>. </li> </ul> <p>UNDP seeks to recruit an Admin and Finance Associate to support the implementation of the project described above. </p><br> <p><strong>2- Scope of Work </strong></p><br> <p>Under the direct supervision of the Project Manager, the Admin & Finance Associate will provide support and services ensuring high quality, accuracy, and consistency of work.
