Evaluation of the project “Water for Peace in Yemen: Strengthening the role of women in water conflict resolution”
Overview
The project ‘Water for Peace in Yemen: Strengthening the role of women in water conflict resolution’ was funded by the United Nations Secretary-General's Peacebuilding Fund (PBF). The project was implemented jointly by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Hadramout Ministry of Water and Environment, and the Women Water Users Groups (WWUG).
The ‘Water for Peace in Yemen’ project aimed at contributing to the mitigation of water-based conflicts that have affected agriculture, with the inclusion of women as conflict-resolution agents. Farming communities (men, women and youth) were engaged by the project to resolve local conflicts over upstream and downstream water allocation. Moreover, the project aimed to introduce drought-tolerant as well as salt-tolerant crops as a climate change mitigation measure in a cash-for-work (CFW) modality. The evaluation found that the project's main achievements were the institutionalization of this role through the water user associations (WUAs) and strengthening the role of women within their communities.
