IFAD reported on a new programme in Yemen that will target poor, food-insecure households, and will focus on improving the livelihoods of women and young people. The Rural Growth Programme will integrate a number of innovative elements, such as runoff harvesting from road surfaces, to counter water stress and adapt to growing climate risks. The Programme is co-financed by, inter alia, IFAD, the (IsDB), the EU, and the GEF.
