WFP in Yemen aims to save lives and protect livelihoods in
emergencies, and specifically increase food consumption
through the scale-up of life-saving emergency food
assistance, particularly among the most food insecure
population, as well as to expand coverage of nutrition
interventions to prevent and treat moderate acute
malnutrition. The political and operational context in
Yemen is one of the most complex and challenging for WFP.
Over four years of protracted conflict have left the
country’s critical economic and civil infrastructure in
ruins; displaced more than three million people; led to
significant loss of income and livelihoods; increased
prices of basic foods up to double pre-crisis levels; and
pushed the economy close to a downfall. Based on the
results of the audit, the Office of Internal Audit has
come to an overall conclusion of partially
satisfactory/some improvement needed.
