ADRA will not only be focused on providing Health services but will also coordinate with other partners like the Yemen Family Care Association (YFCA) and Yemen Alkhair for Relief amp Development Foundation (YARD) to ensure that the targeted communities have access to comprehensive lifesaving assistance.

Through the proposed project, ADRA will provide the Minimum Service Package (MSP) of health services in both Al-Hazem and Barat Al-Anan hospitals.

Furthermore, ADRA will build the capacity of the health workers in the agreed hospitals to ensure delivery of quality assistance. Outreach services will be conducted biweekly to the nearby IDPs sites. The project will be implemented in close coordination with other NGOs. ADRA will work closely with YFCA and YARD to cover the other sectors. YARD will cover protection and food need while YFCA will carry out major WASH interventions, some of it within the same targeted health facilities of ADRA. The projects are planned to be implemented simultaneously.

Gender will be mainstreamed throughout the project. The project activities are designed to address the needs of the different community members where women, men, boys and girls needs are treated equally.
