Integrated, emergency Health, Nutrition and WASH services for acutely Food Insecure individuals and people also affected by conflict and displacement in most affected governorates – Yemen The main objective of this project is to prevent excessive conflict-related mortality among Food Insecure and malnourished population, especially children in the most affected governorates of Yemen.
In line with the objectives of the Second Standard Allocation of the Humanitarian Pooled Fund (HPF) and to facilitate a comprehensive approach to tackling the most important needs of this target population, an integrated, multi-cluster approach is being planned, whereby the target population will receive a comprehensive set of services to save lives and alleviate their suffering.
The project is targeting 1,477,117 individuals in Aden, Abyan, Al Baydah, Al Hodeidah, Al Dhalea, Amanat Al Asimah, Amran, Dhamar, Hajjah, Hadramout, Ibb, Lahj, Marib, Sa'dah, Sana'a, Shabwa and Taiz through identification of SAM cases with medical complication, and providing them with adequate in-patient life-saving treatment. In addition the project aims to address other factors that substantially aggravate death and suffering among these targeted conflict-affected malnourished people, such as infectious diseases, lack of essential, life-saving medicines/medical supplies and lack of hygiene and potable water in health facilities in these priority areas. For that, intensive interventions are needed in the field of disease surveillance, provision of essential drugs and WASH, all in these health facilities. 
WHO is aware from experience in the field that the appropriate involvement of the community plays a great role in combating issues of public health concern. Therefore, Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) will be targeted for training on early detection and referral of malnourished individuals.
The following interventions are planned to be conducted under this project:
