The ongoing conflict in Yemen has caused significant disruptions to the
supply chain and to the overall availability of services.
In light of the reduced or even absent provision of public services,
communities have adopted various coping strategies, including using alternate
water and energy sources, relying on alternate service providers and
community-based service delivery initiatives to address the shortfall.
Physical damage to infrastructure and the lack of functionality in one
sector often spills over into other sectors with significant consequences on
both the access to, and quality of services, that are often interrelated. For
example, in cities such as Aden, the lack of functionality in the water sector
is tied most directly to the lack of electricity rather than to physical damage
to water infrastructure. As a result, wastewater continues to overflow into
Aden’s streets, which in turn has significant implications for the health and
transport sectors. Similarly, the absence of electricity across many cities in
Yemen is not solely tied to infrastructure damage of energy facilities but
rather to the lack of fuel, amongst others due to severe transport limitations
and access constraints. These cross-sectoral linkages demonstrate the need for
an integrated, multi-sectoral approach that provides synergies and responds to
the multi-faceted needs on the ground.
UNOPS is undertaking a multi-sectoral engagement aimed at
restoring urban services mainly in energy, urban roads, WASH and municipal
services in targeted cities in Yemen using an integrated approach..
