Since 2014, Yemen has suffered from violent conflict and political instability, which have given rise to the world’s most severe humanitarian crisis, thereby adding pressure on the country’s mounting challenges, including frail institutions and insufficient public services. LO’s interventions in the country have been focusing on building resilience and enhancing the livelihoods of the most vulnerable persons and communities, through the creation of short- and long-term sustainable employment, building the capacity of national institutions and access to basic services and decent work.
