Peace Support Facility for Yemen 2019 Annual Report

July 6, 2020

It is difficult to determine the actual contribution of the project to the peace process considering the significant volatility and insecurity that Yemen has been fraught with in 2019. Despite the momentum generated by the Stockholm agreement concluded at the end of 2018, no local peace agreement was implemented. However, it is important to recognize the initial results achieved around the port of Hodeidah which contribute to the objective of the Stockholm agreement to strengthen the UN presence in the ports, ensuring their continued functionality and the related passage of humanitarian aid.

Key results - highlights:

  • A comprehensive damage assessment of the Ports of Hodeidah, Salif and Ras Issa was undertaken, and priority rehabilitation interventions identified; 
  • The works for the rehabilitation of the Training Center of Port Hodeidah have started and procurement for the remaining interventions is ongoing; 
  • Hala Systems was contracted to ensure support to OSESGY to prepare for the monitoring of ceasefire initiatives; 
  • PSF swiftly responded to OSESGY request for support on port revenue management; 
  • Preparations for the operationalization of PSF window 2; 
  • 81% of PSF staff has been recruited.
