Yemen
The Challenge
As an important ally in the Global War on Terror, the challenge is to shore-up support for the Republic of Yemen Government's (RoYG) market-based economic reform and address threats to internal stability as a result of the democratization agenda. The USAID program aims to support the RoYG's democratization agenda. The USAID program is supporting the RoYG's democratic governance and poverty reduction efforts, and is increasing social service delivery particularly in the predominantly rural areas where the majority of the population lives. USAID's program focuses on the five target governorates of Amran, Sadah, Al-Jawf, Marib, and Shabwa, long known as the main sources of, and havens for, domestic and international terrorism in Yemen. Yemen, with a population of nearly 20 million people, is one of the poorest countries in the world with 43% of the citizens living under the poverty rate of US$ 2 per day.

Other Major Donors:
Bilateral: USAID coordinates very closely with the donor community to assure that the impact of relatively scarce donor resources is maximized in response to the overwhelming development needs in Yemen. The United States is the top bilateral donor in Yemen, followed by the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Japan.
Multilateral: Multilateral donors include the World Bank, the European Union, United Nations Development Program, United Nations Fund for Population Activities, United Nations Children’s Fund, World Health Organization, World Food Program, International Fund for Agriculture Development, and Abu-Dhabi Fund. However, very few donors work in the five remote governorates targeted by USAID. U.S. development efforts in these governorates are seen as the vanguard in opening up other donor assistance programs in these areas.
