Yemen: Water Sector Support Project

The World Bank has approved a US$90 million IDA Grant for the Water Sector Support Project for Yemen. The project aims to support the the Government of Yemen’s implementation of the National Water Sector Strategy and Investment Program (NWSSIP) to: (i) strengthen institutions for sustainable water resources management; (ii) improve community-based water resource management; (iii) increase access to water supply and sanitation services; (iv) increase returns to water use in agriculture; and (v) stabilize and reduce groundwater abstraction for agricultural use in critical water basins.
