GBV Humanitarian Project Assistant

Mission and objectives UNFPA has been working in Yemen since early 1970s. UNFPA’s 5th Country Programe for Yemen from 2012-2015 has been extended since 2016. The current country programme has been directed to a humanitarian response upon the activation of a Level 3 emergency response in Yemen on 1 July 2015. UNFPA’s response in Yemen aims at meeting the reproductive health needs of women and girls and ensuring that they are protected from gender-based violence, working in close partnership with local authorities, non-governmental partners and UN agencies across the country. ContextContext Advertisement UNFPA is the lead UN agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe, and every young person's potential is fulfilled. UNFPA’s global Strategic Plan focuses on achieving three core transformative results: ending preventable maternal deaths, ending the unmet need for family planning, and ending gender-based violence (GBV) and harmful practices. In Yemen, prolonged conflict, large-scale internal displacement, economic collapse, and severe breakdown of basic social services have created one of the world's most complex humanitarian emergencies. These cascading crises have disproportionately affected women and adolescent girls, exacerbating protection risks and escalating rates of gender-based violence.
