Situation
This project contributes to the GIZ's engagement for Improving Food and Nutrition Security for Resilience in Yemen (IFSR). This is part of the technical cooperation, particularly of transitional development assistance (TDA) which is perceived as a combination out of humanitarian aid and development cooperation approaches. IFSR seeks to reduce dependency on international food assistance in times of uncertain developments of prices and import conditions. This project therefore contributes to enhancing the resilience of women from vulnerable households in terms of improved food and nutrition security in Yemen.
Course of action
This project uses holistic approaches, like nutrition-sensitive agriculture, climate-smart and disaster-preventive agriculture including the One-Health approach and nutrition as overarching topics. The project addresses the following target groups: farmers, focusing on female farmers in coffee and livestock keeping, dairy processing employees, and farmers groups. The project pursues to develop training material, including customised games and technical broschures as well as will conduct training of trainers to achieve the desired objectives.
