Yemen Background
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 many
cities of Yemen, 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 the 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.
