Corporate Emergency Evaluation of WFP’s Response in Yemen 2019-2024

The evaluation concluded that WFP effectively navigated the complexities of the protracted crisis in Yemen, demonstrating flexibility and adaptability in the delivery of life-saving interventions under one of the largest humanitarian operations in the world. Key factors enabling WFP’s performance included proactive supply chain management, the use of advance financing mechanisms, and the effective use of monitoring data to inform decision-making, which significantly enhanced operational responsiveness. However, WFP’s adaptive capacity was increasingly constrained during the evaluation period by a deteriorating funding environment, which limited the ability of the country office to plan for the longer term and ultimately forced a scale-down of interventions.
