| Contexto | Yemen is in the ninth year of the current conflict and is going through a protracted crisis. Aid dependency has increased since the start of the crisis while the level of funding decreased steadily. A gradual shift towards more sustainable approaches and a focus on economic resilience, enhancing people’s livelihoods opportunities, and strengthening local capacities is central in the international response going forward. The private sector has shown remarkable resilience throughout the conflict and is a key resilience factor.
