The State of Referral Systems in Yemen

Cash Consortium of Yemen (CCY), Yemen

 

With millions of people currently in humanitarian need in Yemen, it is critical for humanitarian actors to use resources effectively, including by developing effective and efficient referral pathways between sectors. Meraki Labs conducted this research to support the Cash Consortium of Yemen (CCY) to better understand how cash and other sectors interlink, what referral systems already exist and what pathways should be established or integrated with the CCY program.

This report is based on both primary and secondary research. It draws on a literature review of referral
mechanisms in Yemen specifically and the broader Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, as well as an analysis of documentation available from key clusters. In addition, 30 semi-structured key informant interviews were conducted with 20 agencies.

UNIVERSITY OF GENEVA, GLOBAL

Youth are a challenging demographic for humanitarian and development agencies to reach. Innovation and technology offer new possibilities for engaging with youth, but the effectiveness of these mechanisms has yet to be demonstrated due to the challenges with population transience and the fragile contexts where projects are implemented.

Meraki Labs is working with the University of Geneva and InZone to develop a participatory methodology for youth engaging in projects to evaluate their effectiveness. The project aims to develop a toolkit that is appropriate for a variety of contexts, to enable comparison and broader learning.
