This brief presents insights from project activities in Yemen led by the Crisis Response Initiative (CRI).
The CRI’s activities included rehabilitating irrigation systems, promoting climate-resilient agricultural practices and enhancing community-based resource management. Key lessons highlight the importance of local ownership, gender inclusion and institutional capacity-building to ensure long-term impact.
IFAD set up the CRI in response to the impacts of the war in Ukraine. The CRI protects livelihoods and builds resilience in rural communities by addressing urgent needs caused by subsequent crises, while tapping into new market opportunities for small-scale producers.
