<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.

Within these areas, approximately one in two people experience acute food insecurity, such as declining household purchasing power, high inflation, and heavily disrupted livelihoods leave millions unable to meet their basic food needs. The humanitarian situation remains critical through the end of 2026. Data indicates that 5.4 million people are experiencing IPC Phase 3 or above (Crisis or worse) acute food insecurity between June and September 2026, with 1.6 million individuals pushed into IPC Phase 4 (Emergency).

Data Verification &amp; CP Reporting: Review, check, and follow up on monthly distribution and narrative project reports submitted by Cooperating Partners (CPs) to ensure data accuracy before final system entry. Digital Identity &amp; SCOPE Tracking: Assist in tracking field-level digitalization efforts, providing day-to-day operational support to partners for household retargeting and biometric SCOPE registration workflows. M&amp;E Issue Tracking: Help prepare monthly monitoring plans and track field bottlenecks or complaints flagged by the WFP Call Center, supporting the Field Office team in compiling details to close issues promptly.
