Yemen: Building and Preserving Human Capital During Prolonged Conflict​


​​​In the face of dire challenges stemming from almost a decade of conflict in Yemen, the World Bank-supported Emergency Human Capital Project (EHCP) has worked to improve access to essential health, nutrition, and population (HNP), and water supply, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services nationwide, while also supporting institutional strengthening to improve national and local systems’ resilience to shocks. Between 2021 and 2023, the EHCP helped provide over 11 million people with HNP services, of whom nearly 6 million are women and girls. Over 921,000 people (of which 48 percent are women and girls) were provided with access to improved WASH services.​​
