Food insecurity in Yemen is driven by constrained food production, supply, distribution, households diminishing purchasing power, high food prices, and significantly reduced household income. As a result, this caused low food access to vulnerable people. From that standpoint, Yemen Family Care Association (YFCA) provided the second round of cash assistance to 250 targeted households, that meet the targeting criteria of Cash for Work (CFW) activity. Hence, through Focal Service Provider (FSP) distribution points in coordination with local authorities and Community Committees (CCs) in three targeted districts (Jardan, Nisab & Bayhan districts) of Shabwah Gov this activity was successfully achieved.  Eventually, each beneficiary household had received an amount between 111,300 & 115,200 Yemeni Rials (based on the attendance number of working days), after participating in two types of interventions such as gabions and diversion retaining wall constructions within three targeted districts.
CFW activity is considered one of the activities in the framework of the ongoing project of WASH and humanitarian food assistance for IDPs, host communities, returnees and marginalized groups in six districts of Shabwah Governorate-Yemen, which is funded by the German Humanitarian Assistance (AA) in partnership with Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe (DKH).
This activity aimed to:
• Ensure households in targeted communities are better able to meet their basic food needs through cash assistance.
• Ensure food assistance to the most vulnerable is leveraged to promote early action, response, and resilience, therefore properly integrated with livelihood activities.
• Help the most vulnerable groups in bridging the gap in their food security situation and increase their access to essential food and improve the food consumption scores.
• Guarantee that coherent, timely safe, and dignifying food assistance is delivered.
• Gain skills through participating in Cash For Work (CFW) interventions, and be able to get a chance to work after activity ended.
