Recently, YFCA has completed the second round of cash assistance distribution to 300 vulnerable households in three targeted subdistricts of Ar Rawdah district, in Shabwah governorate, through the CFW activity. Each beneficiary household received 149,000 YER as their share of the cash assistance. The transfer value was determined by the Food Security and Agriculture Cluster (FSAC) based on the approved guidelines and the number of working days each household participated in two specific interventions: gabions construction, rehabilitation, and the building of an agricultural irrigation canal.
The CFW activity is an integral part of the ongoing Yemen Hunger Crisis Response project, which receives funding from DKH. The overarching objective of the CFW activity is to enhance the capacity of targeted communities to meet their basic food requirements through cash assistance while simultaneously developing skills through participation in Cash for Work interventions.
Implemented by YFCA, the CFW activity plays a crucial role in combating food insecurity in Yemen. By providing cash assistance and integrating livelihood activities, the project ensures that vulnerable households have access to essential food supplies. Moreover, it promotes early action and response to the food insecurity crisis while building resilience within affected communities. Through these efforts, the YFCA and its partners are working tirelessly to alleviate the challenges posed by food insecurity and improve the overall well-being of the Yemeni population.
