10. Nutrition

11. BFD prioritizes the prevention of
malnutrition as it reduces human
suffering, where it is the most effective
path to long-lasting results.
Nutrition

12. Nutrition

13. Nutrition
When children under five and pregnant
and lactating women (PLW) do suffer
from acute malnutrition, which is
inadequate nutrition, leading to rapid
weight loss, or wasting —BFD provides
treatment and links it to long-term
care to prevent them from becoming
malnourished again.

14. Health
BFD works in several governorates
of Yemen to promote health,
keep Yemen safe, and serve the
vulnerable. Furthermore, BFD aims
to ensure that every governorate
has utter health coverage to
protect patients from health
emergencies, and provide further
people with better health and well-
being. For health coverage, BFD
focuses on primary and secondary
health care to improve access to
quality essential services.
For health emergencies, BFD
prepares for emergencies by
identifying, mitigating, and
managing risks.

16. Health 15
Moreover, BFD detects and responds to acute health emergencies, and supports
the delivery of essential health services in fragile settings.

18. WASH

19. WASH
Over two-thirds of Yemenis (17.8 million people) require
support to meet their basic WaSH needs, including
12.6 million who are in acute need. Inadequate access
to WaSH services is a major driver of communicable
disease outbreaks and acute malnutrition. Therefore,
BFD (Building Foundation for Development) has been
working in WaSH Sector to reach as well as help the most
vulnerable communities in various rural and urban areas
of Yemen. Most importantly, it has succeeded in achieving
significant positive impacts on the local communities,
especially among IDPs, most affected groups by the
current situation, and impoverished families who cannot
even afford to buy 5 liters of clean water or a loaf of bread.
18

20. WASH 19
All in All, BFD has been intervening in 6
Governorates of Yemen: (Amran, Sana’a,
Al Jawf, Sa’ada, Ma’irb, and Al Hudaydah),
in which many water, sanitation, and solar
energy projects have been implemented;
whereas, others are still in full swing.
Moreover, C4D (Communication for
Development) activities, as well as,
desludging & backfilling cesspits have
been conducted in every project; and
what is more, HKs & CFs (Hygiene Kits and
CeramicFilters)havebeendistributedtothe
vulnerable populations, residing in areas
fall of different diseases such as cholera
and Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD). These
projects also included clean-up campaigns;
along the same lines, training courses for
WaSH Committees were conducted on
how to operate, manage, and maintain the
projects. Not only does BFD aim to carry
out projects, but it also aims to maintain
and sustain them for good.

22. Education

23. The Education Cluster estimates that
4.7 million children need education
assistance, including 3.7 million in
acute need. This includes roughly 2
millionchildrenwhoareoutofschool.
Girls are more likely to lose out on
education, with 36 per cent out of
school compared to 24 per cent of
boys. Moreover, Education Cluster
data confirms that an estimated 2000
schools are unfit for use due to the
conflict. However, all children have
the right to go to school and learn,
regardless of who they are, where
they live, or how much money their
family has. Quality learning requires a
safe, friendly environment, qualified
and motivated teachers, and
instruction in languages students
can understand. It also requires that
learning outcomes be monitored
and feedback into instruction.
22 Education

24. Education
23
So, BFD aims to help maintain basic education services, particularly
in areas where schools are damaged, closed, or unable to fully
operate because of budget, payroll, and other conflict-related
constraints. Thus, BFD takes serious steps towards renovating the
education system mainly and directly for displaced boys, girls,
and most vulnerable children across many prioritized areas in
Yemen. Moreover, BFD ensures that schools remain open through
many programs, such as schools’ rehabilitation, WASH facilities
in schools, provision of new schools’ desks or repair of schools’
desks, provision of schools› supplies and basic learning materials,
provision of schools› textbooks, and the establishment of learning
spaces. Besides, BFD focuses on strengthening Education staff
including teachers by building their capacity through pieces of
training on education in emergencies (EiE).

Regarding the shelter program,
BFD aims to provide safe shelter
for internally displaced persons by
providing healthy living conditions
with privacy and dignity to groups
of people and families. This occurs
in various forms such as camps,
temporary or permanent housing.
Other components of the program
include the distribution of non-
food items for daily life such as
cooking equipment and shelter
kits, for humanitarian purposes. In
the same vein, BFD has successfully
implemented all different lines of
Shelter/NFI activities. Therefore, all
related donors have classified BFD
as the only local partner that has
successfully implemented all different
lines of activities in Shelter/NFI, such as;

29. Shelter/NFI
28
Emergency short-term solutions i.e. Distribution of Non-Food Items (NFIs) & Emergency
Shelter Kits (ESKs) via all types of modalities; In-Kind, Cash, and Vouchers.
long term solutions i.e. Houses’ rehabilitation.
Additionally, BFD is considered to be one of the Shelter/NFI›s most effective partners in
the national and subnational levels.

Camp Management (CCCM)
BFD works to support internally displaced persons
(IDPs) in some of the most severely displacement-

Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM)
Through CCCM, BFD aims to improve the quality of life, safety, and dignity
of displaced people, ensuring the best possible protection and assistance
environments, in accordance with international standards, and through multi-
sectoral approaches. Besides, BFD has successfully contributed concrete and
upgraded management in coordination activities (CCCM/SMC) for 20% of the
total verified IDPs hosting sites in Yemen.

32. Protection
As reports of GBV continue to increase,
survivors need multi-sectoral GBV services.
BFD has a methodology that all people
affected or threatened in Yemen by a
humanitarian crisis have their rights fully

33. respected in accordance with international law
and their protection assured by relevant and
timely actions through all phases of the crisis
and beyond. To enhance more protection, BFD
works to improve the predictability, leadership,
effectiveness, and accountability of response to
ensure that protection is central to humanitarian
action. Not only does BFD work in one sector
to strengthen protection, but it also works in all
sectors to enhance real protection. Furthermore,
BFD applies the four protection principles:
32

34. Enhance the safety, dignity, and rights
of people, and avoid exposing them to
harm.
Ensure people’s access to assistance
according to need and without
discrimination.
31 Assist people to recover from the physical
and psychological effects of threatened
or actual violence, coercion, or deliberate
deprivation.
Help people claim their rights.

41. Food Security and livelihoods (FSL)
BFD food security and livelihoods
programs tackle the root causes of hunger
by addressing problems of production,
access, and income. Encompassing a
wide array of activities customized to
meet a community’s specific needs,
our programs are designed to bolster
agricultural production, jumpstart
local market activity, support micro-
enterprise initiatives, food assistance for
assets; moreover, enhance a vulnerable
community’s access to sustainable
sources of food and income. BFD also
works to strengthen local communities
and experts towards creating resilience,
promoting inclusive governance, gender
equality, and women’s voice as BFD looks
at the four pillars of food security:
1. Access 2. Availability 3. Utilization 4.
Stability.

to achieving the goals of sustainable human development
by enhancing the technical and administrative capabilities
of local communities in the targeted areas. Moreover, BFD
through its projects has adopted several local sub-grant
implementation partners for the cause of building local
community and civil society organizations capacities, the
thing that contributed to enhancing their programmatic
system and financial management experience & confidence.
Thus, strong local communities and civil society organizations
had been created with full capacity to join and partner with
more donors to improve essential services for humanitarian
action in an inclusive range.
