. Yemen: World Bank Group Launches New Country Partnership Framework and Projects to Support Better Livelihoods and More Jobs Amid Fragility Amman/Washington, June 4, 2026 – The World Bank Group's Board of Executive Directors today approved a new Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for the Republic
Key takeaway "Yemen's future has to be built now," said Stéphane Guimbert, World Bank Division Director for Egypt, Yemen and Djibouti.
Why this matters
The World Bank's new Country Partnership Framework for Yemen marks a significant shift in approach, prioritizing localization and partnership to support sustainable recovery. By focusing on key sectors such as agriculture and fisheries, the framework aims to build on the private sector's resilience and create jobs and growth opportunities. The emphasis on increasing women's participation in society and the economy is particularly noteworthy, as it recognizes the critical role women play in shaping Yemen's future. The framework's core outcomes, including improving nutrition and expanding access to electricity, are closely tied to the humanitarian needs of the Yemeni population, which has been severely impacted by a decade of conflict. As the World Bank Group invests in Yemeni institutions and domestic delivery systems, it will be important to monitor how these efforts contribute to the country's long-term stability and development, and how they intersect with the work of faith-based organizations and other humanitarian actors in the region.
