KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Most markets in IRG-controlled areas exhibit moderate to high functionality, especially regarding availability, assortments, supply chain resilience, access and protection and food quality dimensions.
- While supply chains demonstrate strong resilience, susceptibility to supply route disruptions persists, particularly in localized parts of Marib, Taiz, Lahj and Abyan.
- Prices and service quality remain the weakest dimensions across several governorates.
- Cash-based interventions are largely feasible across most districts in IRG. However, their effectiveness is threatened by persistent risks such as price volatility and poor service quality.
- Enhanced market monitoring for price, supply chain disruption, and potential monopolistic behaviors is critical.
