In Yemen, high fuel prices and many additional factors related to prolonged conflict have affected productive sectors, with agriculture particularly hard hit. The effects of climate change, including water scarcity, have further exacerbated the situation, leaving thousands of rural families vulnerable to food insecurity. 

In response to Yemen's food security challenges, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) partnered with the Social Fund for Development (SFD) to implement the Food Security Response and Resilience Project (FSRRP). Funded by the World Bank, FSRRP tackles these issues by constructing rainwater harvesting reservoirs, preventing land erosion, and preserving agricultural lands, all while creating employment opportunities for local communities and facilitating their access to water for irrigation and livestock, offering a holistic approach to tackling food insecurity.
