Yemen is facing severe economic challenges including depleted oil reserves, water shortages, high unemployment, illiteracy, food insecurity, and extreme poverty. To address these issues, financing projects focused on water and education are proposed. For water, projects would expand access to safe water and sanitation through community-managed local providers and utilities funded by domestic financial institutions. This would help meet basic needs and support food security and the environment. For education, technical and vocational training programs would develop job skills in fields like agriculture, fishing, and construction to prepare Yemen's largely young population for employment and decrease poverty. Short courses and teacher training would make the programs effective. Financing vocational education could facilitate transitioning

3. YEMEN IN NUMBER
GDP - real growth rate:
• -4.2% (2016 est.)

154 of 182 on the UNDP
Human Development Index
Industrial production growth rate:

Population below poverty line: 54% (2014 est.)
GDP - per capita (PPP):
• $2,500 (2016 est.)
• $2,700 (2015 est.)
• $3,900 (2014 est.)

4. Some Issues Need to be solve:

5. • Oil: energy experts
estimate that Yemen’s
reserves will be entirely
depleted within the next
ten years.
• Water: Shortages are acute
throughout the country and
Sana’a risks becoming the
first capital city in the world
to run out of water.

6. • Unemployment: workforce
have pushed unemployment
to 35 %, on par with the
Great Depression in the
United States.
• Education: More than two-
thirds of the population is
under the age of 24 and
illiteracy stands at over 50%.

7. • Chronic Food Insecurity
and Malnutrition :
Overall, more than 10
million people suffer
chronic hunger out of a
population of 25 million.
• Extreme poverty: insecurity and
conflict, high inflation, serious social
and economic implications that are
already discernible. Poverty is
estimated to have climbed from about
43 percent of the population in 2009 to
almost 55 percent in 2012.
