#NMO_ORG has successfully completed the rehabilitation of agricultural terraces in Al-Silw and Al-Mawasit districts of Taiz Governorate under the Integrated Water Resources Management to Enhance Resilience of Agriculture (ERA) and Food Security Project, implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) through the German Development Bank (KfW).
The intervention benefited 335 households, including 29 women-headed households, with the objective of restoring the functionality of agricultural terraces, protecting them from further degradation, and improving their capacity to retain rainwater. These efforts contribute to increased agricultural productivity and enhanced food security for the targeted communities.
The rehabilitation works included clearing accumulated soil and debris, reconstructing collapsed stone retaining walls, reinforcing terrace foundations, leveling agricultural land, establishing and rehabilitating rainwater drainage channels, and stabilizing erosion-prone areas to reduce soil loss and ensure the long-term sustainability of agricultural land.
The activity was implemented through a Cash for Work (CfW) approach, providing temporary income opportunities for participating households while supporting community-led efforts to restore agricultural infrastructure and protect natural resources.
Agricultural terrace rehabilitation is considered one of the most effective interventions in Yemen's mountainous areas, as it helps conserve fertile soil, improve rainwater harvesting, reduce erosion, and strengthen rural communities' resilience to climate change while promoting sustainable agricultural production.
This achievement forms part of the Integrated Water Resources Management to Enhance Resilience of Agriculture (ERA) and Food Security Project, which aims to improve sustainable water resources management, strengthen the resilience of the agricultural sector, enhance food security, and improve livelihoods for rural communities in Taiz Governorate.
