Overview of position:
- Entering the 9th year of conflict, Yemen is one of the world's largest humanitarian & development crises. Yemen has often been described as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. In April 2019, the first of 3 reports, assessing the impact of war on development in Yemen, commissioned by our client in Yemen revealed that the war had already set back development by more than 2 decades & caused more deaths from indirect causes such as hunger & disease than deaths from conflict violence. The livelihoods of over 54% of the population were eroded, the social fabric was torn & population & institutional resilience weakened. Public & critical infrastructure, including water & sanitation, education, health, telecommunications & transportation, were damaged or destroyed, adversely affecting public service delivery. The recovery & reconstruction need exceed US$ 25 billion.
- The prolonged conflict & economic decline have exacerbated the quality & coverage of Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH) services. WASH systems & services throughout the country have suffered from damage & underdevelopment, resulting in 15.4 million people needing WASH assistance in 2023. The deteriorating socio economic situation makes meeting basic WASH needs increasingly challenging for vulnerable communities & households, while new displacements to urban areas have overstretched existing WASH service capacity.
- Despite increase in population in the Aden governorate, the aging & improper unmaintained WASH infrastructure hasn’t been growing to cope with city expansion & population. Moreover, the infrastructure was severely affected in 2 civil wars in 1986 & 1994, as well as in 2015 during the Houthis fighting in the governorate, for which the World Bank's Damage Needs Assessment - DNA (2019, 3 report) estimating that around 10% of the WASH has been fully destroyed & 25% partially destroyed. Furthermore, due to aging of the infrastructure (1950's) & lack of spare parts, which are not even available on the market as manufactures have shifted to new system.
- Since the start of the crisis in 2015, the WASH sector & associated infrastructure have not been supported to ensure provision of services to the public, with exception of emergency interventions by donors. Humanitarian stakeholders cannot solely address the current humanitarian WASH needs due to the limited water resource availability, the impact of climate change, the lack of funding for resilient WASH response activities & technical & environmental constraints. Additionally, most life-saving WASH response actions require recurrent costs to sustain minimum WASH services, such as water trucking, fuel support, maintenance of emergency latrines at displacement sites, periodic distribution of WASH non food items & solid waste disposal. Poor waste management & drainage, especially during flash floods, are potential causes of disease outbreaks, physical accidents & deaths or illnesses related to contaminated waters.
- WASH & solid waste management needs are high in the major urban hosting areas of Aden, as the case in other urban centres in Yemen. Women & girls, child headed households, people with disabilities, elderly people & marginalised groups, such as the Mohamasheen, are facing various & specific barriers & discrimination to accessing WASH & waste management assistance & meeting their basic needs. Our client therefore seeks the services of an experienced consultant to develop a project document on “water reticulation & solid waste management in Aden” & to conduct “assessment of WASH & solid waste management in the governorate of Aden”. The intended new project builds on previous WASH & solid waste management projects implemented by our client with support from the government of Japan. The “assessment of WASH & solid waste management for the governorate of Aden”, will builds on the World Bank DNA & information that will be collected from stakeholders at the governorate.
