The Federal Republic of Germany, through the German Development Bank (Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau - KfW) has contributed EUR 17,950,000 to support work by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to rehabilitate key irrigation and agricultural infrastructure in Yemen and communities training.

The three-year resilience programme (2021–2023) in the irrigation and agriculture sector of Yemen aims to safeguard and enhance people's livelihoods through a variety of activities. These include rehabilitation of farm level irrigation infrastructure, job creation and income generation via cash-for-work projects, and measures to strengthen water governance in project districts. FAO will also engage with communities to increase their climate resilience, reduce conflict over water, and conduct training programmes in disaster risk reduction.
