| description |
Yemen is subjected to a deepening
conflict with an uncertain outlook for peace. The conflict
in Yemen began in 2014 and escalated in early 2015 when the
Houthi militias and their allied forces occupied large parts
of the country and putting in jeopardy the then existing
transition process that had been established in late 2011.
Yemen has witnessed cycles of violence and civil war since
becoming a Republic in 1962. Over the last 50 years, and
prior to 1990 also in form of North and South Yemen, Yemen
has seen open societal violence, upheaval, and civil wars.
Addressing these weaknesses, fragilities, frustrated hopes
and rights, recovery of livelihoods, and rebuilding the
country physical infrastructure and especially its
institutions to end Yemen’s cycles of violence will dominate
the political agenda of the country for years to come. These
series of policy notes will contribute to this agenda with a
focus on the short term, the first two years of recovery in
an assumed post conflict situation. There are many
conceivable needs and possible entry points for this note
series. In interaction with representatives of the
recognized Government, other Yemeni actors, and expertise
available within the Bank, drawing also on experience in
other countries, these notes cover (1) key elements for
economic stabilization and public trust building, (2)
proposals to bring in private sector capacity for recovery
and generation of employment, (3) recommendation for how
best to restore services to citizens while focusing also on
institutional set-ups that forge inclusiveness,
participation, and transparency, taking account for a
fragmented central state level, and (4) a critical review
and analysis on how the Yemen authorities and Yemen’s
foreign partners can best use external support for recovery,
reconstruction, and ultimately for development. |
