INTRODUCTION
The YHF has become a highly effective humanitarian financing mechanism in Yemen, consistently meeting commitments on localization and using cash when required. It continues to prioritize localization, actively including more Yemeni organizations in its operations through its Localization Strategy and growing pool of partners.
The Fund currently has 84 eligible partners, including 40 NNGOs, which expanded assistance to vulnerable and underserved areas. The YHF has emerged as a primary source of direct funding for Yemeni organizations, with 43% of funding allocated to national frontline responders in 2022, nearly double the previous year's percentage, and 41.33% so far in 2023.
To sustain progress and address humanitarian needs effectively, continued support for the YHF is encouraged, as it is well-positioned to assist the most vulnerable people in Yemen.
