REACH conducted an assessment in Raymah governorate in Yemen, between January and April 2014, as part of the project led by ACTED and funded by EuropeAid.
The title of the project is “Safeguarding rural food access in Raymah governorate: Building water resources management capacity and enhancing local incomes through coffee chain development”.
Focusing on the coffee sector in Raymah governorate, the project aims at reducing poverty and vulnerability to food insecurity through the development of the coffee value chain in Al Jabin, As Salafiyah, Kusmah and Al Jafariyah districts.
REACH’s assessment aimed to support decision-making and planning efforts needed to upgrade the local coffee chain, through the collection of data related to: production practices; water resource management; and the respective roles of men and women in coffee farming.

About REACH
REACH is a joint initiative of two international non-governmental organizations – ACTED and IMPACT Initiatives – and the UN Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT).
REACH’s mission is to strengthen evidence-based decision making by aid actors through efficient data collection, management and analysis before, during and after an emergency.
By doing so, REACH contributes to ensuring that communities affected by emergencies receive the support they need. All REACH activities are conducted in support to and within the framework of inter-agency aid coordination mechanisms.
