News dated
UNDP announced on 22 October that it is allocating one million US dollars of its own core resources to the Yemen Rapid Recovery Response programme. The intervention in Aden and Lahj plans temporary paid work for around 1,200 displaced people and host-community members, with expected benefits for around 7,000 people. [1]
The plan includes road maintenance, drainage, waste management and agricultural work. Its targets include 18,000 workdays, 14 kilometres of roads and 35 hectares of agricultural land. These are planned milestones: announcing the funds does not demonstrate that the jobs or restoration work have already been completed. [1]
The bright side
The project aims to connect temporary income with work that is useful to communities affected by the crisis. [1]
One idea, in simple words
UNDP is the United Nations agency that works on development. On 22 October it announced one million US dollars for a programme in Yemen. In the Aden and Lahj areas, the plan provides for temporary paid work for around twelve hundred people. Some have had to leave their homes; others belong to the communities hosting them. Planned tasks concern roads, rainwater, waste and farmland. For example, in a possible situation, repairing a passage might help people reach a service. But a target is something people want to achieve, rather than something already finished. Funding has been announced; we cannot yet say that everyone has worked or that all the planned repairs are complete. [1]
