Yemen: Securing Imports of Essential Food Commodities to Yemen: An Assessment of Constraints and Options for Intervention]

Yemen Food Imports: A focus on Critical Challenges and Priority Interventions

A new report published by the World Bank examines the financial and logistical constraints the private sector is facing to importing basic food commodities into Yemen. The report offers solutions to facilitate food imports and ease the food security and humanitarian crises in the country. Priority interventions include the scale-up of income support measures to ease the burden on the Yemeni population and provide support to strengthen the resilience of the food import value chain against rising costs and risks. The recommended interventions are also expected to help recovery efforts and improve the effectiveness and delivery of humanitarian, reconstruction, and recovery activities.
