Abstract

Given the context of COVID-19, combined with the already dire humanitarian needs in Yemen, our approach aims to prevent, mitigate and respond to COVID-19 in the immediate/short-term, by providing life-saving assistance through targeted and coordinated activities in health, nutrition, WASH, protection, and cash to IDP and vulnerable populations. The programme will provide an integrated, multi-partner package across three governorates (Abyan, Lahj, and Shabwah), as well as within Azurrah district in Hodeidah, and limited activities targeting highly vulnerable IDP populations in Taizz.
