Yemen - UNICEF 2012

31 August 2012 - Through this project the United Nations Children’s Fund procures essential supplies and implements interventions across all governorates in Yemen including vaccination campaigns and malnutrition treatments. It provides life-saving water and sanitation assistance to persons affected by the food and nutrition crisis as well as persons displaced as a result of the unrest in Yemen. It also provides leadership and coordination in the nutrition water and sanitation and education clusters and child-protection sub-cluster.

Expected outputs include: reduced morbidity and mortality related to poor access to adequate supplies of clean water and vaccination campaigns; and improved health status of malnourished children through targeted hand-washing sanitation promotion and treatment of acute malnutrition. The expected intermediate outcome is reduced vulnerability of crisis-affected people especially women and children.
