Yemen Nutrition Anticipatory Action Roadmap | 2026-2027
A Structured Framework for Strengthening Nutrition Early Action Within Yemen’s Response Architecture
The Yemen Anticipatory Action for Nutrition Roadmap, developed by the Yemen Nutrition Cluster with technical support from the Global Nutrition Cluster, sets out a practical approach to reducing the impact of predictable shocks on nutrition outcomes in Yemen.
Yemen continues to face a prolonged humanitarian crisis driven by conflict, economic instability, and increasing climate-related hazards, including flooding, disease outbreaks, food price volatility, and displacement. These recurrent shocks are key drivers of acute malnutrition, with an estimated 3.5 million people expected to be affected in 2025, including over 500,000 children with severe acute malnutrition. Despite the availability of early warning data, responses have largely remained reactive, often occurring after nutritional conditions have already deteriorated.
The roadmap:
- Defines anticipatory action for nutrition as a time-bound, forward-looking approach that enables action ahead of predictable shocks.
- Aims to reduce humanitarian impact, protect vulnerable populations, and ensure continuity of essential services in a cost-effective, risk-informed way.
- Establishes a six-pillar framework covering both core and enabling components of an anticipatory action system, including improved use of early warning systems, stronger links between risk analysis and early action, and better integration with Health, WASH, and Food Security sectors.
The approach emphasises national leadership and the central role of local and national actors. It is designed to be phased, adaptive, and non-prescriptive, building on existing systems without requiring new coordination structures, fixed thresholds, or upfront financial commitments.
This document is a key output of a GNC-led project aimed at improving the technical quality and leadership of locally led, data-driven anticipatory action for better nutrition outcomes in Yemen and South Sudan.
