<p><br></p><p>General context of the project While the armed conflict entered its 12th year, Yemen remains one of the largest humanitarian crisis. The country s deteriorating economy, the protracted conflict and crumbling basic services are exacerbating humanitarian needs across the country. Meanwhile, climate shocks, increased regional tensions and chronic underfunding of critical humanitarian sectors are further worsening people s vulnerability and suffering. Four years since the UN- brokered truce, international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) operating in Yemen warn that humanitarian conditions are more fragile than at any point since the peak years of the response. Over 22.2 million people 1 continue to face dire humanitarian conditions, struggling to meet basic needs and access essential services amid protracted crisis, economic deterioration, aid cuts, displacement and climate-related shocks. Furthermore, the escalating conflict in the Middle East and the wider region threatens to exacerbate the dire economic situation and could trigger a resumption of large-scale armed conflict within Yemen. These regional shifts risk disrupting vital humanitarian and commercial supply chains and inflating the cost of essential goods. INTERSOS, in collaboration with local partners, has been providing essential health, nutrition, protection, water and sanitation, as well as livelihoods support for the vulnerable people across Yemen since 2008. While INTERSOS operational presence has been impacted by the signficant funding downsize in the last few years, the integrated programming serving the most vulnerable communities (IDPs, migrants, people at hightened protection risks) continues providing essential lifesaving aid.</p><p>General purpose of the position Support the Head of Mission in the development, definition and management of the mission program in accordance with INTERSOS strategies, plans and policies.

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.&nbsp;</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.&nbsp;</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.&nbsp;</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.&nbsp;</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.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Scope of Work&nbsp;</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.

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, &nbsp;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.
