Strengthening Yemen's institutional and economic resilience

The Strengthening Institutional and Economic Resilience in Yemen (SIERY) has been designed to buttress the resilience of local governance systems in Yemen to reinforce the resilience and recovery of conflict-affected communities. The Project is based on the assessment that, in a context of protracted conflict and massive population movements across the country, which affect women, children and youth disproportionately, the resilience of local populations cannot depend only on their own self-help capacities or on foreign aid: it needs also local authorities that can fulfil more effectively their core missions, especially for service delivery. 

The project will be implemented in collaboration with Responsible Parties to deliver on its two outputs: 

1.Local authorities demonstrate increased capacity to respond to community needs for services in an inclusive and accountable manner.

2. More effective central-local and horizontal relations between local governance stakeholders contribute to stabilization.
