Enrollment, Pre-positioning, Distribution of RRM kits to newly displaced persons in Yemen. The precarious humanitarian situation in Yemen has further escalated, with continued fighting in multiple front lines around the country but with highest intensity in Marib, AlJawf, AlBayda, Abyan, Hodeida, Dhale'a, Sa'ada, Ta'iz and the West Coast. More than 1,000,000 people have been required immediate assistance due to displacement, COVID 19 and floods in the first half of 2020 alone. Many of those displaced have lack of access to basic services, and are vulnerable to different protection issues. Since Jan 2020, the RRM has reached over 245k beneficiaries up to date, these trends of displacements is expected to escalate given the ongoing fighting and floods seasons. As per the OCHA contingency plan, it is estimated that 261,400 individuals could be displaced due to an escalation in Ma'rib.

The triple crises of conflict , floods, COVID 19 and a worsening food insecurity has placed more than three quarters of the population of Yemen in need of humanitarian assistance. The ongoing clashes in Marib, AlJawf, AlBayda, Abyan, Hodeida, Dhale'a, Sa'ada and other locations have led to further vulnerabilities among this population.

Sudden displacement is characterized by increased vulnerability of the affected populations. This is particularly the case in Yemen as the people are already in dire situation given the protracted nad ongoing crisis. Women and children are the most vulnerable. The most critical immediate needs of the displaced persons are usually food and basic personal effects for hygiene and dignity as families are uprooted suddenly from their homes with no time to pick anything or their belongings have been washed away by the floods. Vulnerability to GBV is heightened and access to health care, particularly for pregnant women, children and those with chronic illnesses become critical.

Women and children represent three quarter of all IDPs in Yemen. The women and girls especially, continue to suffer the most in the ongoing crisis. They suffer vulnerabilities arising from different cultural, social, poverty and political factors, where by women and girls take an additional toll, leading to magnified risks of GBV.

This project will support the distribution of immediate life-saving assistance to those newly displaced or stranded mainly due to conflict or natural hazards. This will be done through the pre-positioning, timely transportation of kits, and support to distribution partners throughout Yemen. This will ensure an immediate and effective response to those newly displaced, within 72 hours of receiving the alert of displacement.

The project will continue supporting the enrollment of newly displaced persons in 110 districts. The enrollment will allow for the timely registrations of newly displaced persons. This will lead to a much quicker RRM distribution and overall emergency response by other clusters, in line with its articulated objectives. It will also reduce the enrollment layers through provision of quality data. The initial list will include more comprehensive data compared to the data previously received - and will be updated regularly to cope with the changes of vulnerable groups (displacements, covid 19 and floods affected), which will accelerate sequenced response from other clusters. It will also contribute towards reducing the exclusion of beneficiaries.

This project will likely target 30,000 Family 180,000 individuals of which 40,000 men, 60,000 women, 30,000 boys and 50,000 girls, these 180k individuals are IDPs fleeing front-lines and floods affected displaced from their homes. Each displaced family will receive the RRM 3 kits the IRR of WFP's which contains wet food for a family to survive for a week, the basic hygiene kit of UNICEF, and the Transit kits of UNFPA which contains women hygienic items including clothing (dress code). 

This project is a country wide based interventions, the RRM will be focus on 13 conflict-active- governorates.
