Tenders are invited for Identifying Investments to Increase the Natural Hazard Resilience of Coastal Cities in Yemen Yemen faces an intricate and compounding set of challenges around the nexus of development, conflict, and climate that exhibit significant regional variation. Yemen has long been the poorest country in the Middle East and North Africa and has the highest population growth rate globally, increasing pressures on water, food, and essential infrastructure and services. Prior to the onset of the conflict in 2014, the economy was caught in a jobless slow growth cycle leading to stagnant per capita income and rising levels of youth unemployment that have been on a downward trajectory. The population living in poverty had increased from 35 percent in 2005/2006 to 48.6 percent in 2014, the last year for which poverty data are available. The outbreak of the conflict and the recent effects of the regional conflict of October 2023 have subsequently had devastating effects on the countrys social and economic development, fragmenting the country and exacerbating pre-existing vulnerabilities, with 60 percent of households in need of humanitarian assistance in 2025. Fragile, conflict and violence (FCV) affected countries like Yemen are not only disproportionally exposed to climate change, but they also lack the capacity to cope with its impacts, suffering more severe and persistent GDP losses than other countries. This vulnerability to climate change is even more pronounced in coastal areas. Yemens coastal regions, including key urban centers such as Aden, Al Hodeidah, and Al Mukalla, serve as economic hubs for fisheries, trade, and agriculture. However, these areas face intensifying climate threats, including, pluvial floods, heat waves, droughts, cyclones and storm surges which are increasing in frequency leading to widespread damage to infrastructure; coastal flooding and erosion exacerbated by sea-level rise and unregulated urban expansion, places vulnerable communities at risk; rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns threaten food security and water resources and loss of mangroves, coral reefs, and sand dunes has reduced natural protection against storm surges and flooding.
