Women-led and women’s rights organizations in Yemen are vital first responders, yet they remain chronically underfunded and excluded from decision-making spaces. The ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡â€™s new research highlights the urgent need to shift power, reform funding systems, and invest in local leadership. We’re calling on donors and INGOs to act now—recognize, resource, and elevate these frontline actors at the heart of Yemen’s humanitarian response.

This paper provides guidance on how to apply the urban context analysis toolkit. The toolkit is a set of practical tools (such as questionnaires, analysis tables, and report templates) tailored for humanitarian organizations to conduct an analysis in urban responses by understanding the political, social, economic, service delivery and spatial dynamics. The toolkit was developed based on a series of pilots by the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ (̽»¨¾«Ñ¡) in five urban crises contexts with a focus on displacement crises.
