Deadline for Submission: Thursday 31 August 2023 at 17:00 pm Yemen time. Developing Training Materials and Training Plans On the maintenance of fishing equipment (fishing boats and outboard motors), income-generating activities, business planning, and management of Small and Micro-Enterprises. Location: Yemen Red Sea, Al Mukha District-Taiz Governorate and Al Khawkha district - Al Hodeida Governorate Duration of the assignment: up to two months Project title: Increasing Resilience through Innovative and Sustainable Improvement of Food Security and Livelihoods for Returnees, IDPs, Migrants and Host Communities in the Western Coastal areas of Yemen Project goal: Existing livelihood strategies are enhanced and more sustainable through the successful introduction of locally adapted innovative products and processes, increasing community resilience and food security. The project of Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe (DKH); fishery livelihoods support component, implemented by the partner Abs Development Organization for Women and Child (ADO) aims to: · Restore the productive assets and strengthen the capacities of the small-scale fishery communities in the western coastal areas. As well as improving their socio-economic conditions and strengthening their livelihoods. · Create additional employment and income-earning opportunities for vulnerable women and men in the targeted districts. · Raise the awareness of fishery communities on the post-harvest losses and available financial services in their areas. The Western Coastal Area, located on the Red Sea, hosts traditional fisher communities. In addition, the fishing industry contributes substantially to the socio-economic situation, food security, and nutrition of the fisher communities. Their existing livelihood is an important source of nutritious locally available food yet its potential is severely under-utilized. The ongoing conflict has destroyed their productive assets. In the latest available statistics from 2012, fishery was regarded as the Yemeni economy-s third sector in order of importance, contributing up to 3% share to the country-s GDP, and was the major source of employment, income and food security throughout the coastal areas . The importance of fishery as a particularly promising economic sector had resulted in the National Fisheries Strategy (NFS) 2012- 2025. The National Fisheries Strategy (NFS) 2012-2025 recognizes the fishery sector-s contribution to the national economic growth whilst ensuring environmental and resource sustainability, improving community livelihoods, strengthening the food security needs, and job-creating economic empowerment opportunities with a focus on youth and women. This is reinforced in the government of Yemen (GoY‘s) Transitional Plan for Stabilization and Development (TPSD 2012-2014), which aims at improving the livelihoods of fishers‘ (men and women) communities, through efficient institutional structures together with effective legal frameworks and enhanced partnerships.
