I. WHAT IS THIS DOCUMENT ABOUT?
The principle of impartiality requires that humanitarian aid and action be provided solely on the basis of need, without discrimination.
The number of persons in need of humanitarian assistance in Yemen continues to outstrip available resources. This document provides guidance for humanitarian actors, both protection and non-protection actors, on how to target the most in need based on protection and socio-economic vulnerabilities in the context of Yemen.
This document does not provide a generic list of who is vulnerable in the country. Each organization/partner has to assess vulnerability for each project at the planning stage before humanitarian response is initiated. This guidance highlights key definitions, factors, risks, and groups which should be considered to ensure that they have taken measures to identify and assist those most in need, and that the full range of vulnerabilities has been considered in the formulation of response strategies and projects in Yemen.
IDENTIFYING AND Targeting THE MOST IN NEED BASED ON VULNERABILITY
There is no generic list that prioritizes and targets one population group or set of risks over another. Each humanitarian actor must analyze population groups and vulnerability risks and considerations for each project at the planning stage before the response is initiated.
