Affordability of Food & Finance in Yemen
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
Yemen’s economic crisis exacerbates humanitarian need and political instability. With 90% of Yemen’s food imported, prices are rising – a major factor behind famine risk. Meanwhile, rising public discontent over currency instability and food prices could trigger Government collapse, undermining the peace process. The programme will provide funding to preserve and strengthen institutional capacity, help maintain access to trade finance to enable the continued flow of imports and stabilise food prices. Improved policies will help to stabilise the exchange rate and macroeconomy, reduce food price inflation and avoid further escalation of humanitarian needs. The programme will benefit populations across the country, by lowering the cost of food and increase access to hard currency.

This will build the capacity of local peace actors (particularly women and youth), provide safe spaces for dialogue and engage with government to respond to community needs. The UK has proven success in investing in these areas in Ethiopia – particularly through the CSSF Funded work of Conciliation Resources in Somali Regional State. HARP will look to continue this activity, as well as supporting further peacebuilding activity in other conflict areas.

Third Party Monitoring (TPM) will provide additional oversight and assurance. BPSI will support annually approximately 15,000 IDPs with documentation, legal assistance and services; 20 community rehabilitation projects to improve local infrastructure; and 10 social cohesion and peacebuilding activities to improve host community acceptance of IDPs. A focus will be given to supporting female headed IDP households.
Colombia Conflict and Security Programme
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
Insecurity and violence driven by Colombian armed and criminal groups are increasing, fuelling illicit economies, record cocaine production, environmental degradation and human rights abuses, directly impacting the UK (JACS 2024). Conflict also significantly affects women, girls, indigenous and marginalised communities. The UK will support long-term stability by advancing implementation of Colombia’s peace and security agenda. The programme will improve security responses and protect civilians while remain agile to evolving conflict dynamics by strengthening resilience to serious and organised crime (SOC) and advancing the Women and Girls agenda, including women, peace and security. It dovetails with the UK’s deep, longstanding security relationship with Colombia, and mutually reinforces the impact of our direct environmental and SOC programming.
