๐Ÿ”Ž This study, produced by ู…ุคุณุณุฉ ุชู…ุฏูŠู† ุดุจุงุจ Tamdeen Youth Foundation - as part of the Yemen Localisation Initiative - sheds light on a critical gap in the humanitarian aid system: the persistent underfunding and marginalisation of local and national civil society organisations (L/NNGOs) in Yemen.

๐Ÿ“‰ Despite being on the frontlines, L/NNGOs in Yemen receive on average only 1.76% of direct funding annually.

This study calls for bold, transformative action:

This is more than just about funding โ€” itโ€™s about shifting power, enhancing resilience, and fostering a more localised, equitable, and sustainable humanitarian ecosystem in Yemen.
