| description |
The Republic of Yemen has undergone a
profound transformation following the escalation of conflict
in March 2015. There has been an increase in violence, a
disruption in supply chains due to a tightening of the
ports, and a decline in the general economic climate that
has left a large share of the population without the income
to support their basic needs. These transformations have
resulted in widespread food insecurity, where nearly half
the population is under the threat of a potential famine.
Although the violence has undeniably had a significant
impact on the population and local outcomes, the temporal
and regional distribution of poor food access suggest that
food insecurity of the mobile phone–using population has
been primarily driven by factors aside from the localized
effects of violence alone. The lack of a strong relationship
between violence and poor welfare outcomes contrasts with
evidence from other conflict settings, and further contrasts
with the rationale underpinning much of the humanitarian and
development assistance currently being delivered in the country. |
