Continuing conflict, compounded by natural disaster, has exacerbated Yemen's prolonged humanitarian crisis, rendering an estimated 21.2 million people in need of humanitarian assistance. Collapsed social infrastructure and basic services mean that millions of people have no access to healthcare, safe water and sanitation services.
Following the Level 3 emergency declaration by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC), the Emergency Telecommunications Cluster (ETC) was activated in Yemen in April 2015 to provide vital security telecommunications and internet connectivity services to the humanitarian community.
The ETC conducted a User Feedback Survey in November 2016 to assess the satisfaction of users in the five common operational areas where the ETC provides its services: Sana’a, Sa’ada, Aden, Ibb and Al Hudaydah.
The survey was also used to encourage feedback and identify areas of improvement in line with evolving needs on the ground. The results will help the ETC better understand the needs of humanitarians responding to this emergency and adapt its activities.
