| Summary: | This policy note outlines options for
aid coordination and delivery in Yemen. It draws on a vast
amount of experiences and lessons learned from post-conflict
recovery and peace building processes both in Yemen and
elsewhere over the past decade.Its central message is that
timely international support and targeted financial aid will
be critical to the implementation of a new peace agreement
in Yemen, but delivery ofthis support will have to be
carefully designed, sequenced, and coordinated in order to
overcome divisions and assist Yemen in addressing the
challenges driving the cyclical nature of conflict in the
country.This note highlights the importance of focusing
efforts in the immediate termon sequencing and coordinating
while the conflict is ongoing, and negotiations move forward
to support immediate recovery programming once negotiations
achieve a positive outcome.This note argues that the peace
dividend, that is recovery and development, and humanitarian
assistance need to be effective immediately to build peace
and overcome the causes of conflict. At the same time such
arrangements should strengthen national systems and
capacities that are needed toeliminate poverty, promote
development objectives, and help to build peace.These
challenges are compounded by the fact that expectations will
be extremely high during the immediate aftermath of the
latest round of conflict,absorptive capacity will remain
limited for years to come, and the government capacity to
deliver will be hindered by its lack of access and
legitimacy in certain parts of the country even following a
peace agreement. |
