Hintergrund The people of Yemen experience a prolonged crisis with 21.6 million needing aid due to conflict and collapse of services and institutions. 4.9 million disabled persons struggle to access services and shelter. Those who are disabled and elderly face increased vulnerability and isolation. Women and girls with disabilities face heightened risks.
Since 2015, the conflict has limited the provision of healthcare, including special services for the disabled. Their economic marginalization and lack of representation in decision-making aggravates exclusion, poverty, poor health, denied education, and protection risks.
Ziele The project contributes to a reduction of vulnerabilities and to the alleviation of the suffering of people affected by the conflict and crisis in Yemen.
Zielgruppen The initiative targets 53,433 beneficiaries and their communities: women, men, boys, girls, people with disabilities and injuries, victims of explosive ordnances, and their caregivers. The project addresses the specific needs of this vulnerable population in 5 governorates across Yemen (Amanat Al Asimah, Hajjah, Al Hodeidah, Taizz, and Aden).
Mittelfristige Wirkungen Crisis-affected populations in Yemen, including people with disabilities and injuries, have access to enhanced integrated services, their rights are promoted, and exposure to risks associated with explosive ordnances and armed violence are reduced.
