SDRPY Signs Agreement to Boost Food Security for over 16,000 Yemenis

The Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY) signed an agreement yesterday with the Estijabah Foundation for Humanitarian Aid and Relief to implement a project for strengthening the agricultural value chain for smallholders. The initiative targets approximately 2,300 Yemeni families—representing over 16,000 beneficiaries—across the agriculturally and economically vital governorates of Abyan, Marib, and Hadhramaut.
 Designed to address the developmental needs of rural communities, the project supports the agricultural sector as a cornerstone of Yemeni economic stability. It aims to develop an integrated agricultural value chain by improving inputs, increasing the efficiency of irrigation technologies, and enhancing the sustainability of livelihoods for pastoral families relying on livestock.
 By transitioning beneficiaries from low-yield to high-value production, the initiative seeks to boost farmers' economic returns, improve food security, and foster social stability. Particular attention will be given to the most vulnerable demographics, including female-headed households, the elderly, and people with disabilities.
