DESK REVIEW – YEMEN 
August 2015 Summary This desk review is a compilation of existing secondary data, using the Minimum Standards for Child Protection as an analysis framework. All data points are citations from secondary data publicly available online, which have been compared and interpreted, but not triangulated and verified. The desk review is a product of the Child Protection Working Group (CPWG), the global level forum for coordination and collaboration on child protection in humanitarian settings. The desk review includes data from before and during the most recent intensification of the conflict since March 2015: Part 1 gives some background information on the country and child protection issues. This introductory part will remain relevant over the next years to come. Part 2 gives an overview on the current emergency and highlights elements with regards to affected children. Part 3 outlines how the emergency affects child protection needs, the number of children affected, the response to date as well as coverage and gaps. As the crisis is evolving very fast, this part will have to be updated monthly to remain relevant.

Annex I: Abbreviations 18 Annex II: Timeline 19 1.BackgroundYemen’s geographic and demographic frameworks are shaping its human environment. Its location between the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula has always made it a key transit point for many people seeking refuge from the humanitarian crises – drought, famine and conflict – and for economic migrants in search of a better life and economic opportunities in neighboring Gulf countries. The unification in 1990 of the former Yemen Arab Republic (North Yemen) and the former People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen (South Yemen), which had contrasting economic and political systems, has shaped the volatility of Yemen’s emerging national identity. Yemen’s economy remains very fragile and vulnerable, especially to external shocks. Its dependency upon oil reserves is very problematic as these reserves approach exhaustion, and reliance on foreign remittances is subject to geopolitical factors outside Yemen’s control. Water scarcity is critical and its preferential use for qat (a plant chewed as a mild stimulant) production is untenable; it is also counterproductive to children’s livelihoods, is adverse to domestic food reliance and increases food insecurity. External assistance is weak, unpredictable and politicized. Per capita income rates are very low and household poverty is very high, across both urban and rural populations.1
