Yemen Nexus initiative is initiative established in Augst 2021, and we are representing fifty CSOs working all over Yemen. Yemen Nexus Initiative technical working are group of technical experts from INGO, NGO and interested donors.
The initiative aims to set a positive cycle of generating nexus evidence in Yemen, improved framework conditions, and further nexus implementation on the ground from more nexus-based evidence.
The initiative start with the establishing a network for partners working in Yemen and will concern about Pillar 1: establishing research based knowledge through assessments to the interventions in Yemen (humanitarian and development), establishing a forum for different stakeholders, developing tools, frame works, polices and projects maps.
The initiative will seek to contribute to the intended impact of the triple nexus and the adoption of climate change, where food security-health-WASH-climate change Nexus in Yemen will be enhanced through the achievement of two outcomes.
Through my research, I found that the solution to Yemen’s humanitarian and development challenges, as well as peacebuilding efforts, lies in adopting the Nexus approach, and despite global commitments to the Sustainable Development Goals, especially the principle of leaving no one behind.
We are moving in the direction of deviating from the principles of sustainability, all observations from our humanitarian interventions, whether from local, international or United Nations organizations, show that we are stuck in an endless vicious circle, which prevents us from achieving the Millennium Development Goals.
It’s time to rise up and shift away from the traditional approach to humanitarian aid. Many United Nations studies support this opinion.
