NEW PUBLICATION: Unlocking the Power of Partnership to Address Yemen’s Food Crisis and Strengthen Food System Resilience

Yemen is facing one of the world's largest humanitarian crises due to prolonged conflict, with nearly half the population experiencing food insecurity. The food system in Yemen is heavily reliant on imports and is highly vulnerable to external shocks.
A recent workshop, jointly organized by IFPRI and HSA Group, examined collaboration within Yemen's food system, emphasizing the importance of strong cross-sector partnerships to combat the food crisis and enhance system resilience. Limited collaboration among the public, private, and third sectors contributes to inefficiencies in food supply chains and food aid delivery, often constrained by a siloed mentality.
With the potential for a peace agreement, new opportunities for cross-sector collaboration are emerging. Enhanced communication among the public, private, and third sectors is an important first step toward improving mutual understanding, building trust, exchanging critical information and ideas, and realizing opportunities for effective collective action.
