Yemen
1/ Integrated food security project – Districts of Al Rawdah and Jardan – Governorate of Shabwah
- Funding: Yemen Liquefied Natural Gaz (YLNG)
- Global budget: €1, 600,000
- Duration: 36 months (May 2011 – April 2014)
- Number of beneficiaries: 26 500
- Partners: Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation
This program aims to help increase food production through the construction or rehabilitation of protection structures against floods and spate irrigation.
2/ Development and promotion of a socially and ecologically friendly agriculture on the Island of Socotra
- Funding: AFD (Agence française de développement)
- Global budget: 715 K€
- Duration: 36 months (January 2009 to December 2011)
Extending its previous project, Triangle G H continues to provide a proximity support to the groups of market gardeners in Socotra, and follows the products’ marketing as well as the duplication of local seeds. It is true that the Island of Socotra offers climatic and natural conditions totally suitable to this type of project, however, the advanced protection of this rich and fragile environment imposes a strict control on farming practices, and, as it is the case in the whole Republic of Yemen, an advanced mastering of the means of irrigation.
Expected results:
- To foster the increase in the production of fruits and vegetables in the Island of Socotra on a long-term basis
- To strengthen local capacities in terms of organization and development of new paths
- To favour Socotran seeds, a biological agriculture and improved nutritional practices
3/ Towards the restoration of the farming productive capacities of households, the improvement of practices and a mitigation of the impact of the rise in the prices of foodstuff
- Funding: EuropeAid (European Commission)
- Global budget: 1 258 K€
- Duration: 25 months (January 2010 – December 2011)
The valley of Tareem has been particularly struck by the floods in October 2008, as was the valley of wadi Sah. Triangle G H works here, in close collaboration with two local partners (WHADP and TAA), on the restoring of the traditional channelled irrigation system, in order to enhance the boosting of farming activities through the access to irrigation and the cleaning/levelling of farming land. These surfaces made exploitable, the support to the rehabilitation of wells located on arable lands not served by channels, the distribution of farming inputs, technical training sessions for farmers as well as the search for solutions concerning the mesquite management, should favour increased productions, thus improving food security at family level.
Expected results:
- The access to arable lands is restored
- The access to channelled land irrigation is restored
- The productive farming capacities are improved
- The capacity of farming and natural resources management is improved
