Yemen Humanitarian Fund (YHF) First Standard Allocation 2021

Scope:

The 1 st YHF Standard Allocation (SA) was launched on 8 June with the objective of leaving no one behind at a time when 5 million vulnerable people are just one step away from famine and the humanitarian response remains underfunded. An envelope of US$ 50 million was available for this round. The following priorities were identified:

• Priority 1: Improving living conditions and access to assistance and protection for People With Disability (PWD), minority groups such as the Muhamasheen, and persons with other specific needs (limited to female-headed households, vulnerable children exposed to neglect, abuse, violence, exploitation, and child marriage).

• Priority 2: Provision of life-saving integrated response for people in acute needs in 4 hard to reach, frontlines and under-served areas with high severity of needs.

• Priority 3: Provision of emergency, life-saving assistance and protection to the most acutely vulnerable IDPs, refugees, migrants and host communities most at risk due to recent displacements and conflict.

• Priority 4: Provision of life-sustaining services and protection to the most vulnerable people in acute needs to improve their resilience.

The deadline to submit proposals was on 25 June
