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.

The portfolio works closely with national and local partners to implement integrated interventions across water, agriculture, energy, and institutional strengthening to address the interlinked drivers of fragility, inequality, and environmental degradation.</p><br> <p>In this context, the <i>Integrated Water Resources Management for Enhanced Resilience in Yemen (IWRM-ERA)</i> Project, funded by KfW, aims to strengthen climate resilience and improve water resources management in targeted areas of Taiz and Lahj governorates. The project supports sustainable water management, watershed rehabilitation, community engagement, and climate-resilient livelihoods to improve water security and enhance resilience to climate change.</p><br> <p>Furthermore, this position will also provide targeted cross-support to communication and visibility activities for other strategic initiatives under the broader CCWEE portfolio (including GEF, GCF, and other bilateral donors), ensuring unified thematic messaging.</p><br> <p>To enhance project visibility, stakeholder engagement, knowledge sharing, and advocacy, UNDP seeks a Communications Analyst to lead the development and implementation of communications and outreach activities.</p><br> <p>The Communications Analyst reports directly to one of the Project Managers, while maintaining a direct strategic and operational matrix reporting line to the CCWEE Team Leader to facilitate portfolio-wide thematic synergy.</p><br> <p><strong>2.
