Nahda Makers Rehabilitates 13 Rural Roads in Taiz to Improve Farmers’ Access to Markets and Strengthen Food Security

As part of ongoing efforts to improve rural infrastructure and enhance the resilience of the agricultural sector, 13 rural roads have been rehabilitated in Al-Silw and Al-Mawaset districts of Taiz Governorate under the Integrated Water Resources Management to Enhance Resilience of Agriculture (ERA) and Food Security project. The project is funded by #KfW, implemented by #UNDP, and carried out in cooperation with #NMO.

The rehabilitation covered a total length of 1,578.5 linear meters, including 761 linear meters in Al-Mawaset District and 817.5 linear meters in Al-Silw District. These improvements are expected to facilitate transportation, strengthen connectivity between agricultural areas, markets, and essential services, and improve the movement of agricultural produce.

A total of 113,686 people are expected to benefit from these interventions, including 67,650 beneficiaries in Al-Mawaset District and 46,036 beneficiaries in Al-Silw District. Women represent 50% of the total beneficiaries.

This intervention forms part of the project's broader efforts to strengthen infrastructure that supports the agricultural sector by improving access to markets. The initiative is expected to reduce transportation costs, facilitate farmers’ access to marketing opportunities, enhance livelihoods, strengthen food security, and increase the resilience of local communities in the face of ongoing challenges.
