Operational Context:
Entering the seventh year of conflict, the humanitarian crisis in Yemen is considered one of the worst in the world with 80% of the population in need of assistance. UNHCRs interventions focus on more than 4 million internally displaced and an estimated 135,000 refugees and asylum-seekers. Humanitarian access is severely constrained by administrative hurdles and ongoing fighting with rapidly shifting frontlines. UNHCR has a strong operational footprint in particular in relation to protection/protection of civilians, (emergency) shelter and NFIs and IDPs sites management (CCCM) both as UNHCR and as Tri-Cluster lead with one of the largest cash programme of UNHCR globally. UNHCR operations are managed by the Country Office in Sanaa, with three field offices in Hodeidah, Saada and Ibb, as well as in the South of Yemen through the Sub-Office Aden and a field presence in Marib. The closing date for submission of applications is 14 April 2021 (Midnight Geneva time).
