UNDP Yemen: ERRY Joint Programme Impact Report - From 2016 to 2025

From 2016 to 2025, the Enhanced Rural Resilience in Yemen (ERRY) Joint Programme stood as a transformational model for recovery and resilience in crisis-affected rural communities. Funded by the European Union and the Government of Sweden, and implemented through a strategic partnership among UNDP, FAO, WFP, and ILO, the programme delivered integrated, community-driven interventions that bridged the humanitarian-development-peace nexus.

ERRY JP has reached more than 2.1 million Yemenis with support that improved food security, generated employment, strengthened local governance, and enabled communities to better withstand shocks and adapt to climate risks.

At its core, ERRY empowered local ownership. Through collaboration with over 30 international and local implementing partners since 2016, the programme not only restored livelihoods but also built the systems and capacities needed for sustainable recovery—placing special emphasis on the inclusion of women, youth, internally displaced persons, and marginalized rural households.
