The electrical grid in Yemen barely services 52% of its population. A number of challenges attributed mainly to growing demand, limited financial and technical capacities and dwindling local energy resources are pressuring this already low coverage downward and are compromising the country’s energy security.

The project that is funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) is led by ESCWA. It will be responsible for coordinating and managing project implementation and reporting.

ESCWA is also responsible of ensuring that the preparation and implementation of the project outputs are appropriately communicated to the regional initiative partners and associated regional mechanisms.

This Project aims to enhance water and food security under changing climate conditions by informing, advising and facilitating the engagement of national governments, local communities including women and youth in climate action. This will be pursued by enhancing policy coherence across the water and agricultural sectors through institutional mechanisms and the provision of informed policy guidance and risk analysis, expanding the local knowledge base though science-based assessments and analysis of climate impacts on strategic sectors, and empowering diverse communities through applied capacity building initiatives, pilot projects and policy forums to help the Arab region become more water secure, food secure and climate resilient.
