The overall goal of the programme is to sustainably improve food security, nutrition and livelihoods, and build resilience among vulnerable households and their communities.

The target group will comprise 11,270 households – 8,000 households in Somalia and 3,270 3 in Yemen. The programme will specifically target traditionally marginalized groups such as: women and girls (comprising at least 30 per cent of the total targeted beneficiaries); and young men 15-25 years affected by poverty, social exclusion, unemployment and displacement (at least 10 per cent will be internally displaced people).
