Food Security and Agriculture
People in Need and Target Beneficiaries
Explanation of number of beneficiaries targeted Overall, the Cluster will target the most vulnerable among the food-insecure population in Yemen which, according to WFP’s 2012 CFSS, totals around ten million people. Based on the CFSS, planned interventions will be implemented in governorates and districts with the highest percentage of severely food-insecure households, concentrating particularly on rural areas. The number of IDPs is expected to initially remain at similar levels as in 2012, but to decline over the course of 2013 in the absence of large-scale conflict. For those IDPs who have the possibility to return, returnee assistance will be continued for a limited amount of time. Their change in status will therefore not immediately affect the total number of beneficiaries. How the response plan will contribute to the strategic objectives In 2013 food assistance and support to rural livelihood and agriculture through cluster members, will target 6,928,551 food-insecure people, including malnourished women and children, and internally displaced people, focusing primarily on improving food consumption for targeted populations. This will ensure a balanced food intake for beneficiaries and reduce negative coping strategies. It will also stabilize or reduce acute malnutrition of children under five and pregnant and lactating women in targeted populations. In parallel, FSAC partners will continue and develop their programmes to support household food security through agriculture-based activities. Increasing the resilience of communities by improving their capacity to produce food sustainably is indispensable to address some of the root causes of the food insecurity situation, and counterbalance, somewhat, the impact of volatile food prices, and to envision a possible decrease in future food assistance. All projects within the Cluster’s response plan have enhanced resilience as an objective, directly contributing to the second strategic objective of the YHRP. This is especially the case for mid and long-term agricultural activities, whose early recovery component can be implemented within a 12-month time frame, but whose results will come to full effect only within a larger 24-month cycle. Moreover, gender focused programming will address the needs of women and provide steps to further gender equality and sustainability in Yemen. At present, despite multiple assessments, baseline studies and evaluations, and the fact that many of the ongoing and planned projects include gender components, FSAC partners at-large still need to develop a more precise understanding about the dynamics within the household, including those between generations, those governing women’s relationships with each other, and men’s relationships with each other. FSAC partners will endeavor to develop and implement monitoring and evaluationof the gender component of their respective projects. This process can be assisted by systematically ensuring that all projects related to food security issues achieve a 2a code when applying the gender marker. In addition, more outreach will result in increased buy-in and improved overall coordination, particularly towards non-traditional partners. While the FSAC was not fully functional during 2012, support has been brought in through successive missions of the Global Food Security Cluster, and funds are actively being sought by the co-lead agencies to have a fully dedicated cluster coordination structure. This would ensure improved performance, better coordination and joint programming, closer relations with other clusters, and the development of capacity-building, advocacy and joint assessment activities. Last but not least, accountability to beneficiaries ensures long-term sustainability of humanitarian action. In this regard, the Cluster partners are actively implementing projects with communities that include this component. Most of them have signed the Humanitarian Accountability Partnership, and established mechanisms and good practices to improve accountability to beneficiaries. Cluster objectives and output targets Cluster objective 1 (linked to strategic objective 1) Save lives and improve food security and agriculture-related livelihoods of the most vulnerable families (women, men, boys, girls, elderly, people with disabilities, etc) through a combination of food assistance and agricultural support, at the same time strengthening the resilience of vulnerable communities. Output 1: Food and non-food items distributed in sufficient quantity and quality to targeted women, men, girls and boys under secure conditions
Output 2: Cash and vouchers timely distributed to targeted beneficiaries
Output 3: Food availability increased at the HH level through self production
Output 4: Improved livelihoods through urgent basic distribution, restoration and protection of assets to targeted beneficiaries
Output 5: Improved livelihoods and resilience through the rehabilitation and improvement of the assets of targeted beneficiaries
Cluster objective 2 Ensure effective coordination to reach the most vulnerable with clear priorities in relation to the first sector objective, harmonized implementation approach, information sharing and development of cluster technical tools, including indicators, assessment, monitoring and evaluation. Output: A fully functional Food Security and Agriculture Cluster
Cluster objective 3 (linked to strategic objective 4) Identify and implement best practices to strengthen partners’ capacity-building, especially for the Government counterparts. Output 1: FSAC has enhanced and strengthened capacity of Government counterparts, as well as implemented an outreach strategy towards national NGOs
Output 2: Targeted beneficiaries received more and better agricultural and fishery public services, as a result of the increased capacity of the main public service providers.
Cluster objective 4 Develop and implement an FSACter advocacy strategy, on behalf of the vulnerable food-insecure communities, as well as to support Cluster partner’s activities and programmes. Output: FSAC has developed a consensus based advocacy strategy and implemented it
Top-priority actions, beneficiaries, and locations Actions:
Food assistance (in-kind and through cash and voucher modalities) Beneficiaries: Severely food-insecure communities (including IDPs) Locations: Areas with high number of food-insecure populations and high prevalence of acute malnutrition among children under five and pregnant and lactating women.
