Saving women and children in Yemen through cash transfers (Netherlands for the World Bank) 

October 02, 2020


Netherlands for the World Bank published an article stating that Yemen is one of the most food insecure countries in the world. About 20 million Yemenis—70% of the population—are facing hunger, a 13% increase from 2017.  An estimated 2 million children—about 50% of the children under the age of five—were suffering from acute malnutrition; 350,000 were severely malnourished. Research by IFPRI indicates that cash transfer programs that provide homes with financial support to purchase food have succeeded in reducing acute malnutrition in Yemen.
