ZOA’s Programme in Yemen
In May 2012, ZOA decided to respond to the developing humanitarian crisis in Yemen, which started initially as an emergency response, but was extended given the continued severe situation. The main focus of the programme is to support host and displaced communities, in their WASH, Food Security, and NFI needs. Target areas are Hajjah, Hodeidah and Sana’a governorates.
ZOA works alongside local partners. Creating and strengthening of local capacity is an important element of the programme.
In 2015, ZOA opened a Middle East Regional office which is located in Jordan. From this office, our programmes in Yemen, Iraq, Syria, and Jordan have been administered. As of April 2017 Yemen will break away from the Middle East Regional office and be an established programme country for ZOA. Due to the volatile situation in Yemen, the current base station for the Manager General Affairs Yemen is Sana’a.
