Executive Summary 
 
Introduction
 
Yemen
�s economy relies mostly on agriculture and rainfed agriculture in the highlands 
represents more than half of the total cultivated area of Yemen. Agriculture contributes more 
than 15% to GDP and employs more than 55% of the active population. The communities in 
the highlands retain important agrobiodiversity and traditional knowledge related to the 
utilization of their agrobiodiversity resources. Yemen is well known for its agrobiodiversity 
based on the large number of landraces of barley, wheat, sorghum, millet, lentil, and cowpea 
which have evolved over more than two thousand years, and for the construction and 
management of terraces which help minimize land degradation and improve water use 
efficiency. Most of these landraces have accumulated adaptive attributes for coping with the 
adverse environmental and climatic conditions and to the need of local communities. In 
addition, many wild relative species of these crops and many other plant species having 
forage and medicinal values are still found in field edges and remnant natural habitats. These 
landraces and their wild relatives and the associated local knowledge constitute important 
components of the traditional farming systems prevailing under harsh environments of the 
rainfed mountainous regions.  
 
Climate change is a real concern for Yemen. Most climate modeling scenarios indicate that 
the drylands of West Asia and North Africa will be the most affected by droughts and high 
temperatures in the years to come.  A greater frequency of droughts and flash floods has 
already been observed in recent years. Rainfed agricultural areas are the most vulnerable to 
the impact of climate change. Yemen�s invaluable agrobiodiversity should be conserved, both 
in-situ (on-farm) and ex-situ (genebanks), as it provides an important genetic base for crop 
improvement programs, specifically for the development of crop varieties which are likely to 
be better adapted to impending shifts in climatic patterns.  Adaptation to climate change 
entails a process of building a country�s adaptive capacity to respond and adjust to climate 
variability and extremes by increasing its ability to moderate potential damages, take 
advantage of new opportunities due to climate change and cope with the consequences of the 
adverse effects. However, adapting to climate change is challenging and adaptation measures 
implemented or designed must be flexible enough to perform their desired objectives under a 
wide variety of future climate conditions. Additionally, the existing scientific knowledge need 
to be fine-tuned for local application to inform policy choices in the face of difficult trade-
offs. These are the challenges faced by Yemen in the context of adaptation.  
 
To achieve optimum adaptation on the ground, it is critical to downscale regional and global 
predictive climate models and develop vulnerability profiles, at the appropriate scale, for 
these communities. This localised information and prediction models would ensure that 
appropriate coping mechanisms are mobilised through improved extension delivery systems 
to the farming communities. In Yemen, data for the meteo stations is collected by several 
different agencies and needs to be co-ordinated, and standardised for operability and 
prediction. There is a need to enhance the capacity of monitoring stations in terms of data 
collection, retrieval and distribution with an overall aim to improve Yemen's predictive 
capabilities and decision making. It is also important to understand the micro-climatic 
variations within the rainfed landscape and what this means in terms of optimum coping 
strategies for adaptation to climate change.

Project Objectives and Components 
 
The GEF, through the World Bank proposes to finance a 4-year project starting in 2010 
named �
Agrobiodiversity and Climate Change Adaptation Project (ACAP)
�
The project�s 
main objective is �to improve strategies for rain-fed agriculture to adapt to climate change 
using agro-biodiversity resources in the Highlands of Yemen� and it is designed to provide 
economic, social and environmental benefits to the farmers and livestock owners, their 
families and the rural communities in the project areas through increased agricultural and 
animal productivity as a result of improved seed production, enhanced livestock protection 
and expanded water and soil conservation and management. 
 
The Project development objectives are: 
a) 
To enhance capacity and awareness at key national agencies and at local levels, 
to respond to climate variability and change; and, 
b) 
To better equip local communities to cope with climate change through the 
conservation and use of agro-biodiversity 
 
The Project outcome indicators are: 
�
Improved capacity of national agencies to successfully use global and regional 
climate models to better simulate future climate scenarios for Yemen 
�
Improved capacity and increased knowledge and awareness on climate variability 
and change, and access to coping strategies  
�
Improved coping strategies designed and piloted using agro-biodiversity resources 
in rainfed highlands  
 
The Project constitutes of four components. 
Component 1
 will build on the traditional 
knowledge of farmers and develop an inventory of local agro-biodiversity to identify and test 
selected land races for climate resilience and develop �climate resilience� profiles of selected 
landraces.  
Component 2
 will focus on developing initial local predictive capacity of weather 
patterns and long term climate change scenarios for the country.  
Component 3
 will focus on 
integrating climate resilience into rain-fed agriculture. At the national level this will done 
through capacity development of the MAI in  and at the local level through the development 
and piloting of a menu of coping strategies in partnership with the communities. 
Component 
4
will focus on the management, coordination, monitoring and evaluation of the project. 
 
Project Description 
 
Geographical scope and location
The pilot sites have been selected to represent the critical agro-biodiversity of the highlands, 
and also be suitable for the development of interventions with the active participation of 
farmers. Following the implementation of the project, the sites should be able to function as 
examples for replication and scaling-up in other sites. The first level of selection of 
governorates was based on the following criteria, to ensure that the sites would: 
a. 
be located along a meso-scale geographic gradient 
b.  cover most important areas of rainfed highlands 
c. 
cover a range of altitudes within in the highlands 
d.  cover a range of mean annual precipitation 
e. 
cover a range of agro-ecological gradients 
f. 
partially overlap with the governorates of the RALP project 
Page  9

Site selection at the next level was carried out to identify districts where the project would be 
implemented. This was done to ensure that each location fulfilled all or most of the following 
criteria:  
a. representative 
agro-ecosystems 
 
b.  continued practice of traditional farming techniques 
c. 
availability of typical local crops 
d.  availability of (reasonably intact) terrace systems  
e. 
mixture of cropping and animal husbandry, including the use of pasture 
f. 
willingness of local people including women to take part in the project 
g.  availability of data related to soil, water, climate, biodiversity and agriculture 
h.  availability of information from preceding projects at the sites  
i. 
potential cooperation with other ongoing projects at the sites, esp. the RALP project 
j. 
possibility to undertaken activities from field to catchments level including altitudinal 
and agro-ecological gradients 
k.  possibility to undertake activities from family/group member to community/district 
level

The Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Objectives
 
This Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) aims at identifying the potential 
environmental and social impacts of the ACAP, and develop an environmental and social 
management plan for mitigation of the potentially negative impacts and for monitoring 
compliance with relevant environmental laws. 
 
The specific objectives of the study are:  
(a) To assess the potential environmental and social impacts of the project as a result of 
potential interventions;  
(b) To compare the impacts in relation to relevant national and World Bank requirements 
and guidelines;  
(c) To develop an environmental and social management plan (including screening 
criteria) for the mitigation of any potentially negative impacts of the proposed 
interventions and for monitoring compliance with the relevant laws and policies;  
(d) To develop an integrated pest management plan; 
 
World Bank Safeguards Policies 
 
The Yemen Agrobiodiversity and Climate Adaptation Project is classified as environmental 
category B. Essentially the project is expected to have significant positive environmental and 
social impacts, with relatively minor negative impacts. This has also been concluded by the 
environmental and social impact assessment. Each of the ten safeguard policies was checked 
against the project components and their activities, and the ESIA has determined that the 
safeguard policies that are triggered by the ACAP are OP 4.01 on Environmental Assessment 
(EA) and OP 4.09 on Integrated Pest Management (IPM). An environmental and social 
management plan (ESMP) has been prepared, the objective of which is to eliminate any 
potential adverse environmental and social impacts, offset them, or reduce them to acceptable 
levels. The objective of the ESIA is to help ensure the environmental and social soundness 
and sustainability of the ACAP.   It is noted that the current Yemeni legislation also requires 
that these protective measures be taken, as outlined in the ESMP. The ESIA was prepared in a 
fully participatory manner, and the methodology used, summary of consultations and list of 
stakeholders consulted are attached as an annex to this report 
 
Potential Environmental and Social Impacts and Mitigation Measures 
 
Anticipated positive impacts
The project will achieve important socioeconomic benefits that will lead to achieving 
developmental goals in rural Yemen. Among these benefits: 
�
Improving life standards of rural population and provision of an enhanced sense 
of wellbeing 
�
Providing community empowerment especially for women and vulnerable 
groups.  
�
Achieving benefits to women through improved awareness on water 
conservation, hygiene education, and community participation. 
�
Achieving economic development through direct income generation 
opportunities.  
�
Providing the communities with water harvesting systems 
�
Mobilize the communities and encouraging community participation  
Page  11

�
Terraces rehabilitation and upgrading 
�
Establishment of flood protection structures 
�
Building up the skills of farmers with participation tools  
�
Adapt the communities to the climatic changes 
�
Introduction of improved varieties tolerant to droughts 
�
Involving the communities in community participation 
�
Enhancing social stabilities and reducing tensions when proper management 
bodies are framed to manage the WHS and distribute water allocations equitably. 
 
Environmental and social impacts and the mitigation measures
Environmental and social impacts are very minor and don not have significant impacts on the 
agrobiodiversity. There are no risks associated with the implementation of the coping; 
however, there some impacts as a result of some activities and the related mitigations are 
introduced in the ESMP: 
 
�
Constructions of WHS are associated with needs to provide construction roads 
through agrobiodiversity. Mitigation would require the care not to construct 
roads on agrobiodiversity and agricultural lands. It would be useful to use 
animals to carry materials to the sites. Social conflicts may arise on land 
provision for the sites or contribution arrangement. More awareness and 
involvement of the community in the decisions would mitigate this social 
impact. 
�
Usually WHS are open water surfaces which would increase breading of 
mosquitoes resulting in health problems. The ESMP recommends the installation 
of fine screen nets (for relatively small water cisterns) and provide natural 
predators for the control of mosquito larvae such as fish and frogs. 
�
Construction solid wastes are left on the sites causing land degradations. 
Contractors should be monitored and be obliged to remove the solid wastes 
according to terms of contracts 
�
Better access to water supply systems could cause disposal of used oils, fuel and 
spare parts on water sources and course causing pollution. The ESMP 
recommended control of oil changing and fuelling activities and to collect and 
recycle the used oils to generate income generation to the community. 
�
Overexploitation of groundwater could cause water quality deterioration and 
water quantity reduction. Proper mitigations associated with awareness water 
conservation are needed. Reduction of water abstraction and continues 
monitoring would be another mitigation. Develop alternative water sources 
through collection of rooftop water harvesting. 
�
Women would suffer from bad water allocations of the water supplies. A need 
for O&M committee elected by the community is essential to manage the water 
supply scheme. 
�
Intermittent damages to structures such as small flood protection structures are 
not repaired on time, weakening the structural system of the flood protection 
works. The mitigation requires the involvement of the community for regular 
maintenance of the structures through an O&M committee. 
�
The introduction of improved crops and trees drought tolerant varieties might 
carry harmful insects and diseases which would produce an impact on the 
agrobiodiversity, and health. Careful inspection and selection of the varieties 
before introduced to the communities. 
Page  12

�
Enhancement of traditional practices of fertilizers may cause health problem to 
women and children for the direct contact during collection and applicator ion. 
The mitigation for this is to increase awareness on safety uses and provide the 
community with safety and healthy use guidelines. 
 
The ESMP listed the different mitigation measures in tabular formats both environmental and 
social including the responsibilities, time frame and costs incurred in implementing the 
mitigations. The cost of the ESMP is estimated to be US $50,000 for the screen nets only to 
cover the relatively small, open WHS to prevent spreading of mosquitoes. For larger WHS, 
other preventatives measures such as introduction of mosquito larvae eating fish can be 
introduced. Other costs related to both EMP and SMP are included as part of project costs. 
Costs for training are listed separately, but included as part of the overall project costs.  
 
The ESMP on monitoring
 
The overall environmental and social impacts of the ACAP are expected to be significantly 
beneficial in terms of environmental and social issues.  Monitoring and evaluation of the 
implementation of ESMP will need to be put in place as part of the overall project 
implementation arrangements.  Budgetary resources for implementing the ESMP (mitigation 
measures as well as capacity building/training) and M&E will be allocated as part of the 
project implementation arrangements. The implementing agency for component 3 will be 
responsible (through hiring of consultants) for monitoring compliance with the ESMP (as per 
monitoring indicators outlined in Table 11). The PIU will be responsible for ensuring that 
capacity building and training activities as outlined in Table 12 are carried out. The PIU�s 
M&E specialist will be responsible for aggregating information on compliance with ESMP 
(component 3) and capacity building/training. The M&E specialist will include this 
information as a separate section in the periodic progress reports that the PIU will submit to 
the World Bank. 
 
The ESMP on training and capacity building 
 
A
training and capacity building table was developed to list the major training topics as 
summarized from the ESMPs.  The training costs are estimated to be US $274,000. About 17 
topics listed in the table concentrating on women empowerment, community participation, 
O&M process, and the special trainings suggested by the project. Women and men farmers, 
community leaders, and agricultural extension officers, are mostly the training recipients. 
Other target groups such as technicians from Civil Aviation and Meteorology Authority 
(CAMA), Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation (MAI), National Water Resources Authority 
(NWRA), and Agricultural Research and Extension Authority (AREA) are also listed. 
Training on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is also included.  
 
Screening of Subprojects 
 
The objective of the screening criteria and procedures is to ensure review of individual sub-
projects to be financed under the ACAP in order to identify and address (minimize or 
eliminate) potential adverse environmental and social impacts. All subprojects under ACAP 
(Component 3) will be undertaken purely on a voluntary and demand basis, and implemented 
by the communities (farmers and residents) themselves. Subcomponent 3.2.4 could include 
some minor infrastructure rehabilitation such as: upgrading of reasonably intact terraces, 
construction of small flood protection structures, soil protection structures, facility for seed 
Page  13
13
storage (provision of shelving in existing sheds), construction of water storage structures, 
establishment of model farm, etc.  Subcomponent 3.2.5 of the project will promote 
agrobiodiversity based income generating activities which could include: construction of 
small nurseries/home-gardens with a preference for those using grey; water and other 
conservation methods (to produce plants, vegetables, fruits, aromatic and medicinal plants); 
planting, preparation and packaging of medicinal herbs (aromatic and spices); small home-
based catering business specializing in traditional recipes; agro-processing; beekeeping; 
planting of almond trees; and producing traditional ceramic ware for conservation purposes 
(to house seeds, etc.).  
 
Subprojects to be funded under the ACAP are not expected to be of environmental category A 
in nature or trigger the Bank�s involuntary resettlement policy. Additionally, environmental 
and social screening will be incorporated into the regular subproject development cycle that 
will identify any such projects, which will then be excluded from the community 
agrobiodiversity plans. 
 
Use of Screening Criteria for Subprojects
Due to the CDD nature of subcomponents under component 3, community based 
agrobiodiversity plans will be developed in consultation with the communities, building on 
their indigenous and traditional knowledge. Participating communities will be assisted in 
developing agrobiodiversity based coping plans, which will include proposals for the above-
mentioned subprojects (subcomponent 3.2.4).  During the subproject identification stage (part 
of the agrobiodiversity based coping plans), MAI technical staff/consultants (or 
agency/partner responsible for implementation of component 3) will work with 
representatives at community level in order to identify potential projects for funding using the 
screening criteria. Once the subprojects are screened and satisfy all criteria, they will be 
approved for funding. Community sub-grants are not anticipated to be large, and are likely to 
be in the range of $5000-$10,000 (for rehabilitation activities) and about $3000 for income 
generating activities. Because activities carried out by ACAP will be relatively small and 
simple in nature, they are not expected to require formal EPA review and approval. The 
preventative actions and mitigation measures outlined in the ESMP should be used to address 
any potential adverse environmental and social impacts.

Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPM) 
 
The World Bank�s Operational Policy on Pest Management and use of pesticides (OP 4.09)   
has been triggered to address potential adverse impacts of pesticide use in project activities of 
the ACAP. Procurement of pesticides is not envisaged under the project. However, farming is 
expected both to improve and to change cropping patterns to adapt to climatic changes. These 
changes are in turn not expected to increase the use of agricultural chemicals, fertilizers and 
pesticides, due to the project activities stressing on encouraging traditional and local practices 
in using organic fertilizers. However, due to some negligence and improper storage of seeds 
or importing new infected crops would require some remedies and precautions to avoid 
excessive and improper pesticide use. Implementation steps of IPM are summarized showing 
the importance of dealing with pesticides carefully and not using banned pesticides due to the 
hazardous effects on health, crops and the environment. Detailed lists of Banned pesticides in 
Yemen are shown in Appendix VII of the ESIA report.  
 
With regard to Pest Management, a Pest Management Specialist should be recruited to review 
the relevant material with the ACAP PIU, the pest management practices for different crops 
and assessed the pest management approaches, quantities of pesticides used, capabilities of 
the farmers in regard to proper handling and use of pesticides, evaluate and suggest measures 
required to reduce specific risks associated with pesticide use and prepared guidelines keeping 
in view the Policy, Regulatory Framework and Institutional Capacity. The Specialist also 
should prepare training courses. Trainers at the end of the training will be able to establish a 
mechanism in place to demonstrate Integrated Pest Management procedures and to develop a 
farmer education program that stresses good and safe practices for storage and application of 
pesticides. Cost for training on IPM is also included in overall project costs.  
 
Consultation with Stakeholders 
 
Public consultations
Consultation with stakeholders has been carried out during the preparation period of the 
ESMP with the following objectives:  
 
1.  To find out whether the communities are likely to accept the coping measures 
suggested by the Agro Biodiversity and Climate Adaptation Project (ACAP). 
2.    To find out whether these measures have no or little environmental and social 
impacts on the communities and  
3.  To assess the present situation in these areas on how people are coping with the 
climate changes. 
 
Summary 
 
It is clear that hardship is apparent in all areas with slightly different scales and levels. Low of 
rainfall puts families in the verge of collapse; some families have immigrated to nearby towns 
and cities leaving their farms and houses behind In order to sustain their lives and their 
children lives. Several villages and sub districts in Al-Mahweet have immigrated to towns and 
cities. Frustration of farmers is clear in terms of the final production of the crop where farmers 
assume that good production will be sustained, but suddenly rains stops at the middle of the 
season causing great loss of the crop.

Low rainfall and change of temperatures have been recently affecting cropping seasons, 
crops, water availability, animals and humans. Introduction of the project to these areas is 
vital, however, it should be included the following in its different components so that to 
maximize the benefits by the farmers: 
�
Awareness raising on water and agricultural  issues 
�
Building up the skills of the communities and the authorities staff in: 
o
Community mobilization 
o
Community management 
o
Metrological information 
o
Land and water management techniques etc. 
 
Recently, in most areas farmers consider agriculture as a secondary source of income due to 
the unstable occurrence of rainfall, high costs of labor and low crops production. Initiation of 
Water supply and harvesting projects, provision of agricultural machines, introduction of 
crops and trees that consume less water and produce sufficient income, and improve 
traditional local practices could encourage farmers to settle in their lands

Conclusion 
 
The carried out stakeholders consultations were very informative and enriched the ESIA. The 
ACAP is expected to attain significant important environmental and social benefits that 
overweigh any limited adverse environmental and social impacts, which could be mitigated 
through the implementation of the proposed Environmental and Social Management Plan.

Background 
 
Introduction 
Yemen
�s economy relies mostly on agriculture and rainfed agriculture in the highlands 
represents more than half of the total cultivated area of Yemen. Agriculture contributes more 
than 15% to GDP and employs more than 55% of the active population. The communities in 
the highlands retain important agrobiodiversity and traditional knowledge related to the 
utilization of their agrobiodiversity resources. Yemen is well known for its agrobiodiversity 
based on the large number of landraces of barley, wheat, sorghum, millet, lentil, and cowpea 
which have evolved over more than two thousand years, and for the construction and 
management of terraces which help minimize land degradation and improve water use 
efficiency. Most of these landraces have accumulated adaptive attributes for coping with the 
adverse environmental and climatic conditions and to the need of local communities. In 
addition, many wild relative species of these crops and many other plant species having 
forage and medicinal values are still found in field edges and remnant natural habitats. These 
landraces and their wild relatives and the associated local knowledge constitute important 
components of the traditional farming systems prevailing under harsh environments of the 
rainfed mountainous regions.  
 
Climate change is a real concern for Yemen. Most climate modeling scenarios indicate that 
the drylands of West Asia and North Africa will be the most affected by droughts and high 
temperatures in the years to come.  A greater frequency of droughts and flash floods has 
already been observed in recent years. Rainfed agricultural areas are the most vulnerable to 
the impact of climate change. Yemen�s invaluable agrobiodiversity should be conserved, both 
in-situ (on-farm) and ex-situ (genebanks), as it provides an important genetic base for crop 
improvement programs, specifically for the development of crop varieties which are likely to 
be better adapted to impending shifts in climatic patterns.  Adaptation to climate change 
entails a process of building a country�s adaptive capacity to respond and adjust to climate 
variability and extremes by increasing its ability to moderate potential damages, take 
advantage of new opportunities due to climate change and cope with the consequences of the 
adverse effects. However, adapting to climate change is challenging and adaptation measures 
implemented or designed must be flexible enough to perform their desired objectives under a 
wide variety of future climate conditions. Additionally, the existing scientific knowledge need 
to be fine-tuned for local application to inform policy choices in the face of difficult trade-
offs. These are the challenges faced by Yemen in the context of adaptation.  
 
To achieve optimum adaptation on the ground, it is critical to downscale regional and global 
predictive climate models and develop vulnerability profiles, at the appropriate scale, for 
these communities. This localised information and prediction models would ensure that 
appropriate coping mechanisms are mobilised through improved extension delivery systems 
to the farming communities. In Yemen, data for the meteo stations is collected by several 
different agencies and needs to be co-ordinated, and standardised for operability and 
prediction. There is a need to enhance the capacity of monitoring stations in terms of data 
collection, retrieval and distribution with an overall aim to improve Yemen's predictive 
capabilities and decision making. It is also important to understand the micro-climatic 
variations within the rainfed landscape and what this means in terms of optimum coping 
strategies for adaptation to climate change.

Scope of the ESIA 
 
The GEF, through the World Bank proposes to finance a 4-year project starting in 2010 
named �
Adaptation to climate Change using Agrobiodiversity of the Rainfed Highlands
�
The 
project main objective is �to improve strategies for rain-fed agriculture to adapt to climate 
change using agro-biodiversity resources in the Highlands of Yemen� and it is designed to 
provide economic, social and environmental benefits to the farmers and livestock owners, 
their families and the rural communities in the project areas through increased agricultural 
and animal productivity as a result of improved seed production, enhanced livestock 
protection and expanded water and soil conservation and management. 
 
The �
Agrobiodiversity and Climate Adaptation Project (ACAP)
�
contains four components; 
Component 1
 activities aimed at building on the traditional knowledge of farmers and 
develop an inventory of local agro-biodiversity to identify and test selected land races for 
climate resilience and develop vulnerability profiles of selected landraces; 
Component 2 
focuses on developing initial local predictive capacity of weather patterns and long term 
climate change scenarios for the rainfed areas of Yemen.  
Component 3
 focus on developing 
and piloting a menu of coping strategies, including some which will build on the  outputs 
from Components 1&2. Through 
Component 4
 the project will enable key agencies, 
particularly the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation, to reflect the climate agenda in their 
policy and plan documents.  The ACAP will be implemented in the Governorates of Sana�a, 
Al-Mahweet, Ibb, and Taiz (see Table 1).

Coping measures and activities are designed under 
Component 2
 to provide communities 
with tools and mechanisms to adapt and cope with climate changes. The activities under this 
component and its sub-components will mainly have positive impacts to the conversion of 
land, soil and water. There will need only minor mitigation measures as anticipated project 
activities will not lead to adverse impacts towards agrobiodiversity in the project areas. On 
the contrary, project activities are expected to result in an improvement in agrobiodiversity 
conservation of the ecosystem.   
 
The main purpose of this ESIA is to investigate potential impacts of the proposed main 
intervention of activities on both the environment as well as the community living in the 
districts listed in Table 1 above.

Recording and making thorough analysis of the consultation 
�
Based on the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), an Environmental 
and Social Management Plan (ESMP) is prepared. 
 
World Bank Safeguards Policies 
 
The World Bank�s operational policy on Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01) applies to all 
projects, and the proposed project falls into environmental screening category �B� of World 
Bank OP 4.01. The objective of the ESIA is to help ensure the environmental and social 
soundness and sustainability of investment projects. This will be done by assessing potential 
impacts of the proposed project on physical, biological, and socio-economic conditions.  In 
addition to OP 4.01, the ESIA addresses the requirements under OP 4.09 � the World Bank�s 
Operational Policy on Pest Mmanagement and use of pesticides � to address potential adverse 
impacts of pesticide use in project activities. The output of this analysis is an ESIA.  
 
The Bank undertakes environmental screening of each proposed project to determine the 
appropriate extent and type of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). The Bank classifies 
the proposed project into one of four categories [A, B, C or F], depending on the type, 
location, sensitivity, and scale of the project and the nature and magnitude of its potential 
environmental impacts. A proposed project is classified as Category B if it�s potential adverse 
Page  20
20
environmental impacts on human populations or environmentally important areas
�including 
wetlands, forests, grasslands, and other natural habitats�are less adverse than those of 
Category (A) projects. These impacts are site-specific; few if any of them are irreversible; and 
in most cases mitigatory measures can be designed more readily than for Category A projects. 
The scope of EIA for a Category B project may vary from project to project, but it is narrower 
than that of Category (A) EIA. Like Category (A) EIA, it examines the project's potential 
negative and positive environmental impacts and recommends any measures needed to 
prevent, minimize, mitigate, or compensate for adverse impacts and improve environmental 
performance. 
The EA confirmed the "Category B" classification of the project under World Bank 
safeguard policies, finding no significant, cumulative or irreversible environmental impacts from the 
project.
 
ACAP activities are financed by the World Bank and are therefore subject to the Bank�s 
Safeguard Policies. Each of the ten Policies was checked against the proposed different 
components and their activities. The following discussion of the Policies is aimed to indicate 
which ones are triggered by the project and thus may influence the project design, and in 
particular which specific component(s) and activities might produce significant impact.  
 
Environmental Assessment Safeguard Policy (OP 4.01): 
Essentially, the project is expected 
to have significant positive environmental social impacts, in particular in most activities, with 
only relatively minor negative impacts. The OP 4.01 has been triggered because there is the 
potential that implementation of ACAP may lead to some adverse environmental impacts. 
The ESIA has however determined that there will be no potential large-scale, significant or 
irreversible environmental impacts associated with the project. The potential impacts 
identified are mainly localized impacts associated with activities to be financed under 
component 3 (CDD activities) of the project (i.e., involvement of communities on a purely 
voluntary and demand basis), which can be effectively mitigated and are addressed using the 
screening criteria and environmental management plan. For any minor negative impacts, the 
ACAP
 will be in compliance with this OP 4.01, provided the actions prescribed in the 
Environmental Management Plan are implemented. The Bank requires (EIA) of projects 
proposed for Bank financing to help ensure that they are environmentally sound and 
sustainable, and thus to improve decision making. EIA is a process whose breadth, depth, and 
type of analysis depend on the nature, scale, and potential environmental impact of the 
proposed project.  EIA evaluates a project's potential environmental risks and impacts in its 
area of influence; examines project alternatives; identifies ways of improving project 
selection, sitting, planning, design, and implementation by preventing, minimizing, 
mitigating, or compensating for adverse environmental impacts and enhancing positive 
impacts; and includes the process of mitigating and managing adverse environmental impacts 
throughout project implementation.  The Bank favours preventive measures over mitigatory 
or compensatory measures, whenever feasible
 
Pest management Safeguard Policy (OP 4.09): 
The 1ntegrated Pest Management (IPM) 
approach, including biological pest control, has become the main alternative to control by 
chemical means. In order to control the quality of imported pesticides, the government 
established the "Pesticides Formulation Laboratory
". 
In 1999, Parliament approved the 
Agricultural Pesticides Act. Procurement of pesticides is not envisaged under the project. 
However, farming is expected both to improve and to change cropping patterns to adapt to 
climatic changes. These changes are in turn not expected to increase the use of agricultural 
chemicals, fertilizers and pesticides, due to the project activities stressing on encouraging 
traditional and local practices in using organic fertilizers. However, due to some negligence 
Page  21
21
and improper storage of seeds or importing new infected crops with would require some 
remedies and precautions. Precautions to avoid excessive and improper pesticide use are 
required. A mechanism will be put in place to demonstrate Integrated Pest Management 
procedures and to develop a farmer education program that stresses good and safe practices 
for storage and application of pesticides. The ACAP thus has triggered this policy and the 
ESMP has recommended relevant training on IPM.  
 
Involuntary Resettlement Safeguard Policy (OP 4.12): 
Safeguard Policy 4.12 is not triggered 
by ACAP as project activities will not result in: (i) involuntary taking of land; (ii) relocation 
or resettlement; (iii) loss of assets or access to assets, and (iv) loss of income sources or 
means of livelihood.  Furthermore, project activities are expected to result in stabilizing, 
increasing, and diversifying income for participating communities. The project aims to better 
equip local communities to cope with climate change through the conservation and use of 
agro-biodiversity, which aims to overcome losses of income due to climate change and cope 
better with income diversification. Sub-component 3.2 seeks to increase income of farmers 
through diversification of livelihood options based on agro-biodiversity resources, and 
through improved conservation and management of water resources to counter the stresses of 
climate change. Farmers� involvement in activities under this sub-component will be purely 
on voluntary and demand basis. Furthermore, specific screening criteria for the selection of 
community sub-projects have been developed as a part of the Environmental and Social 
Management Plan (in accordance with the CDD Manual for MNA Region), which will screen 
out sub-projects that may have the potential to trigger OP 4.12.  Such sub-projects will not be 
implemented under the ACAP. 
 
Physical Cultural Resource Safeguard Policy (OP 
4.11): 
 This safeguard policy is not 
triggered by ACAP. One of the site selection criteria in identifying districts where the project 
would be implemented was to locate availability of reasonably intact terrace systems that 
could be rehabilitated and upgraded by local farmers and residents.  The project will build 
their capacity by teaching them skills that are needed for the upkeep of terraces, which in turn 
will eventually help in transferring the knowledge to others in the village. This is an important 
capacity building exercise. Each of the sub-projects will be monitored and evaluated once it is 
up and running as well as documented. This will help replicate projects in other communities 
and make necessary amendments to them. User surveys will also be carried out periodically to 
get feedback on the projects, and make needed improvements. An oversight committee will be 
responsible for maintaining the projects and for collecting small maintenance dues. Therefore 
the project seeks the preservation of these age-old mountainside terraces, and the policy is not 
triggered.   
 
In summary
,
the ACAP triggers the following two Safeguard Policies: OP 4.01 on 
Environmental Assessment,
and OP 4.09 on Pest
Management
.
Special provisions have been 
made in the Environmental and Social Management Plan to fully comply with these 
Safeguard Policies (see Table 2). In all these cases the World Bank requirements are 
reinforced and fully mandated by corresponding Yemeni legislation as well.

OP 4.01 
Environmental 
Impact Assessment 
Yes 
The project is classified as an environmental and social under Category 
B
requiring partial assessment. All   environmental and social impacts 
of ACAP are adequately examined and mitigation measures are 
assigned. ACAP will have significant positive impacts on the 
agrobiodiversity in the project areas and build community capacity to 
adapt to climate change.

Habitats 
No 
The policy is not triggered. The project activities will not cause 
conversion or degradation of natural habitats.  
3
OP 4.09: Pest 
Management 
Yes 
ACAP will not affect pest management, however it is recommended to 
trigger this policy due to the vulnerability of the systems and ignorance 
of people and due to the missing mechanism within the governmental 
authorities on how to deal with the management of pesticides. Lack of 
education and awareness amongst farmers, extension workers and 
related institutes on the effects of pesticides on health and crops is 
additional reasons to trigger this policy 
4
OP 4.11: Cultural 
Property 
No 
The policy is not triggered. 
None   of   the   interventions   will   affect   
any known archaeological sites 
5
OP 4.12: 
Involuntary 
Resettlement 
No 
The policy is not triggered as project activities will not result in: (i) 
involuntary taking of land; (ii) relocation or resettlement; (iii) loss of 
assets or access to assets, and (iv) loss of income sources or means of 
livelihood.  Furthermore, project activities are expected to result in 
stabilizing, increasing, and diversifying income for participating 
communities 
OP 4.20: 
Indigenous People 
No 
The policy is not triggered. No  indigenous  people  are  present  in  
project areas

ACAP   does   not   involve   construction   
of dams, and not depending on any dams 
9
OP 7.50: Projects 
on International 
Waterways 
No 
This is applicable to water bodies that form a boundary  between  two  
states  or  any  other water  body  that  is  a  part  of  these  boundary 
water  bodies.  OP 7.50 is not applicable to this project. 
10 
OP 7.60: Projects 
in Disputed Areas 
No 
This policy introduces specific requirements for loans in areas disputed 
by more than one country. This is not applicable to the ACAP.

Detailed Project Description  
 
The Project Approach 
 
The ACAP will investigate climate change impacts on agricultural land use in the rain fed 
highlands of Yemen to develop coping strategies and enhance implementation efforts for 
adaptation to climate change. The overall investigation strategy aims at the conservation and 
utilization of agro biodiversity resources for climate change adaptation and the integration of 
these strategies in the socio-economic system. This shall be achieved by: 
 
�
Bringing together local/traditional knowledge, particularly that of female farmers, with 
modern farming techniques and practices; 
�
Developing initial local predictive capacity of weather patterns, climatic changes, and 
longer term climate change scenarios for the rain fed areas of Yemen. 
 
�
developing vulnerability profiles at community, district or governorate level for target 
species/varieties, and 
 
�
Developing a menu of adequate and appropriate coping mechanisms as well as policy, 
institutional and technology options. 
 
The main tasks will be carried out by four different components and expert groups: 
1.  Agrobiodiversity and local knowledge assessment  
2.  Climate modelling assessment  
3.  Development and implementation of coping mechanisms options  
4.  Enabling policies, institutional and capacity development  
 
Project Development Objectives 
The Project development objectives are: 
 
a) 
To enhance capacity and awareness at key national agencies and at local levels, 
to respond to climate variability and change; and, 
b) 
To better equip local communities to cope with climate change through the 
conservation and use of agro-biodiversity 
 
The Project outcome indicators are: 
 
�
Improved capacity of national agencies to successfully use global and regional 
climate models to better simulate future climate scenarios for Yemen 
�
Improved capacity and increased knowledge and awareness on climate variability 
and change, and access to coping strategies 
�
Improved coping strategies designed and piloted using agro-biodiversity resources 
in rainfed highlands 
 
This project will provide a suite of options to farmers in the rain-fed highlands, to cope with 
climate change by building the knowledge base on climate change and agro-biodiversity. At 
the national level, the project will initiate improvements in collection, recording and analysis 
of climate data and development of national/regional climate models. Climate-related data is 
Page  24
24
currently being recorded in monitoring stations under the authority of various organizations 
such as CAMA, NWRA and AREA, for their purposes and without any coordination. The 
project will help in creating a coordination and cooperation mechanism among such entities, 
and will put in place a template that will capture the various climate-related parameters that 
are being recorded both within and outside the country for Yemen.  Simultaneously, at the 
community level the project will finance documentation of agro-biodiversity and traditional 
knowledge of the highlands, which have the potential to equip rain-fed agriculture with land 
races and farming techniques that are more tolerant to climatic variability and change.  During 
the course of the project some coping options would be piloted with the communities in the 
highlands.  
 
The interventions initiated under this project are intended to be the building blocks which will 
help meet the challenges of climate change over the long term.  The project is designed as a 
pilot, and is closely aligned with the RALP which is under implementation.  Coping options 
developed during implementation of the proposed project will be scaled up through the 
RALP.   
 
Geographical scope and location
 
The selection of appropriate sites for piloting the coping mechanisms is crucial for the project.   
The pilot sites have to represent the critical agro-biodiversity of the highlands, and also be 
suitable for the development of interventions with the active participation of farmers. 
Following the implementation of the project, the sites should be able to function as examples 
for replication and scaling-up in other sites. The first level of selection of governorates was 
based on the following criteria, to ensure that the sites would: 
g.  be located along a meso-scale geographic gradient 
h.  cover most important areas of rainfed highlands 
i. 
cover a range of altitudes within in the highlands 
j. 
cover a range of mean annual precipitation 
k.  cover a range of agro-ecological gradients 
l. 
partially overlap with the governorates of the RALP project 
 
Site selection at the next level was carried out to identify districts where the project would be 
implemented. This was done to ensure that each location fulfilled all or most of the following 
criteria:  
l. representative 
agro-ecosystems 
 
m.  continued practice of traditional farming techniques 
n.  availability of typical local crops 
o.  availability of (reasonably intact) terrace systems  
p.  mixture of cropping and animal husbandry, including the use of pasture 
q.  willingness of local people including women to take part in the project 
r. 
availability of data related to soil, water, climate, biodiversity and agriculture 
s. 
availability of information from preceding projects at the sites  
t. 
potential cooperation with other ongoing projects at the sites, esp. the RALP project 
u.  possibility to undertaken activities from field to catchments level including altitudinal 
and agro-ecological gradients 
v.  possibility to undertake activities from family/group member to community/district 
level

Governorates and districts 
of
Sana�a, (Bilad Ar Roos and Bani Matar) Al-Mahweet, (Al-
Mahweet and Ar Rugum districts), Ibb (As Sadah and Ba�adan) and Taiz (Saber Al-
Mawadem and Al-Mawaset) have been selected as the respective candidate sites for the 
project (table 1 illustrate the governorates and districts). Maps with project areas are given in 
Annex 1. 
 
Project components 
The Project constitutes of four components. 
Component 1
 will build on the traditional 
knowledge of farmers and develop an inventory of local agro-biodiversity to identify and test 
selected land races for climate resilience and develop �climate resilience� profiles of selected 
landraces.  
Component 2
 will focus on developing initial local predictive capacity of weather 
patterns and long term climate change scenarios for the country.  
Component 3
 will focus on 
integrating climate resilience into rain-fed agriculture. At the national level this will done 
through capacity development of the MAI in  and at the local level through the development 
and piloting of a menu of coping strategies in partnership with the communities. 
Component 
4
will focus on the management, coordination, monitoring and evaluation of the project.
 
Component 1: Agrobiodiversity and local knowledge assessment   
Lead Agency: Agricultural Reserach and Extension Authority (AREA) 
 
Objective: 
To prepare inventories of land races and other agro-biodiversity and develop 
climate resilience profiles of selected land races 
 
Outcome: 
Information to enhance and develop agro-biodiversity based coping strategies in 
place. 
 
This component would build on the existing knowledge base of farmers, who to date have 
survived by adopting diverse drought mitigation strategies. As changing economic and 
livelihood patterns rapidly dilute the traditional knowledge of farmers, there is an urgent need 
to document this traditional knowledge. In this context, this component will facilitate the 
distillation of knowledge from the farmers on adaptive characteristics of the local landraces 
and their wild relatives. These inventories will be complemented with information from other 
existing databases. The vulnerability profiles for selected landraces will be developed after 
testing and piloting for resilience to impacts of climate change.

Sub-component 1.1: Agro-biodiversity Inventories 
 
Page  26
26
The main activities under this sub-component will be: 
1.1.1 Stocktaking of existing inventories 
1.1.2 Agro-biodiversity field inventories  
1.1.3 Laboratory analysis and validation 
 
Implementation will start with reviews of preceding and ongoing inventories. New inventories 
at the study sites would be planned and conducted together with the local people (especially 
women).  Traditional knowledge is currently being documented within projects of AREA, and 
by NGOs - the Yemeni Association for Sustainable Agriculture Development (YASAD), and 
the Initiatives for Sustainable and Equitable Development, and Local Actions for Knowledge 
Exchange (IDDEALES) and these organizations will be active partners in the inventory 
development. 
 
With respect to land races of crops, ex-situ seed storage from different regions of the Yemen 
highlands and documentation in seed data banks is carried out at the Genetic Resource Centre 
at AREA and the Yemeni Genetic Resource Centre [YGRC] at Sana�a University. The 
number of conservation facilities has increased from 7 in 1996 to 22 in 2006; and they 
conserve more than 6000 accessions. Further, morphological descriptions of seeds and 
phenotypes have been conducted.  Therefore, it will be necessary to check for duplicates with 
the existing accessions.  Polymerase studies will be conducted on selected land races to verify 
nomenclature. 
 
Sub-component 1.2: Development of Climate Resilience Profiles 
 
The activities under this sub-component will be: 
1.2.1 Selection of landraces for plot experiments 
1.2.2 Lab and field tests of selected landraces to develop vulnerability profiles 
 
With the information from the field inventories a shortlist of land races will be developed for 
further testing under experimental conditions.  The shortlist will be developed in partnership 
with farmers� groups and would include land races that are perceived by farmers as important 
for food or forage.  Land races will be short listed not necessarily for high yields; but, for their 
performance under conditions of climatic stress � drought, flood, frost, high temperature, etc. 
The RALP project already works on 8 landraces selected largely on the premise of increased 
yields and this project will explore to see if there could be an overlap with any of these 
landraces. 
 
A
field testing methodology will be developed for the selected land races, to test their 
performance under experimental conditions. Field tests would be conducted at appropriate 
field centres of AREA, and in some farmers� fields.  Simultaneously, laboratory analysis of 
some of the selected land races will be carried out to test germination rates and seed quality. 
 
Sub-component 1.3: A report on agro-biodiversity utilization and traditional knowledge 
 
The final activity would be preparation of a report with details on the agro-biodiversity in the 
selected project sites and with detailed plans for development of income generation activities 
using some of the species/land races with potential for such activities.

Component 2. Climate Modeling and Capacity Building  
Lead Agency: Civil Aviation and Meteorological Authority (CAMA) 
 
Objective: 
To develop national capacity in climate modelling and data analysis 
 
Outcome: 
Enhanced capacity of national institutions to develop climate scenarios based on 
regional climate models  
 
Climate change will contribute to the general uncertainty in Yemeni agriculture. This has 
various reasons: (i) precipitation is a tricky climate element and exact projections - even on 
precipitation trends only - are hard to make, (ii) Yemen lies in a latitudinal band were global 
circulation models differ in projected precipitation trends (some indicate more some less 
precipitation, but there is observational evidence of increased variability of rainfall), (iii) the 
effect of complex topography (typical for Yemeni highlands) is poorly modelled in current 
climate models, and (iv) data to validate existing climate model output against measurements 
are limited. Therefore, both the selection of a proper modelling strategy or feasible model 
chain as well as necessary �tuning� of models or model output seems almost impossible. 
However, it will be useful to check on the possible boundaries of future climate change to 
limit the still growing uncertainty. 
 
Key steps to achieve the objective outlined above, include: (i) to build a central database for a 
better statistical description of the Yemeni climate and for climate model validation; (ii) to 
assess and use existing GCM outputs and future GCM results to derive probable changes and 
their expected range; (iii) to combine existing data records (including available products 
based on remote sensing like TRMM and additional measurements started in the GEF project) 
to mimic the range of possible climate futures for areas / sites representing rainfed agriculture 
in the highlands of Yemen, and (iv) to utilize mesoscale climate models designed and 
parameterized for a similar region for regional downscaling or other techniques of regional 
downscaling. 
 
Sub-component 2.1 Development of Improved Climate Database  
Currently there is limited localized information, capacity and organizational arrangements 
associated with climatic data collection, storing and processing � which to date has been 
compiled through a variety of agencies, including  the Civial Aviation and Meteorology 
Authority (CAMA), National Water Resources Authority (NWRA), Environnment Protection 
Authority (EPA),  and AREA. This system is clearly insufficient and needs to be fortified to 
meet the challenges of improved climate prediction models.  Activities  under this sub-
component would include: 
 
2.1.1 Meta data survey and collection on historic climate data 
2.1.2 Data collection of agro-meteorological data at selected sites 
2.1.3 Assessment of small scale variability of rainfall 
2.1.4 Data assessment and processing; Preparation of the data for validation and 
downscaling of climate models 
2.1.5 Statistical analysis on the climate of rainfed highlands of Yemen 
2.1.6 Assessment of institutional capacity in data collection and analysis of CAMA, 
NWRA, AREA and EPA, including the number and capacity of weather stations 
2.1.7 Establishing a data transparency policy: Exchange of metrological information on 
climate data of all relevant organizations (CAMA, NWRA, EPA and AREA), 
Page  28
28
including the terms of the exchange of historic climate data and plans to establish new 
networks of meteorological, climate and agricultural measurement stations and sites.  
 
Upgrading selected weather monitoring stations.  
Small scale upgrading of equipment in 
weather monitoring stations (of AREA, CAMA, others) would be financed under the project 
to enable regular collection of temperature and precipitation data.  
 
Sub-component 2.2: Downscaling Climate Models 
Activities under this sub-component will be focused on establishing access to global data 
bases like CERA for GCM (Global Circulation Model) output data, process the GCM output 
data for the larger region of Yemen (including neighbouring regions), analyze the GCM 
output for (i) statistical characteristics (trends, quintiles, regional patterns of climate variables, 
esp. precipitation). Activities would include: 
 
2.2.1 Assessment of existing GCM results 
2.2.2 Analysis of existing GCM results (statistical evaluation, interpretation and 
processing) 
 
Sub-component 2.3:  Development of Climate Scenario for the Rain-fed Highlands 
2.3.1 Assessment of historic climate data from selected sites 
2.3.2 Building scenario data for climate (especially precipitation) in rainfed highlands of 
Yemen based on collection of new datasets 
 
The focus of this sub-component would be on combining existing data records (including 
available products based on remote sensing like TRMM) to mimic the range of possible 
climate futures for areas / sites representing rainfed agriculture in the highlands of Yemen. 
 
Sub-component 2.4 Training and Technical Capability development 
 
There exists a basic to intermediate climate data management capacity n Yemen due to the 
sufficiently large proportion of trained people in relevant institutions like CAMA and EPA. 
This data management capacity needs to be enhanced to deal with large spatial data sets from 
model output or remote sensing.   The climate modelling capacity in Yemen is not sufficient 
yet. There are insufficient University level programs of study in Atmospheric Sciences.  A 
pre-requisite for advances in climate modelling will be training at international centres of 
excellence, where those models are developed and applied.  This sub-component therefore, 
focuses on developing the capability of technical specialists within CAMA and NWRA and 
AREA to undertake climate modelling. The main activities would be: 
 
2.4.1 Masters level training of technical and scientific personnel through an internationally 
acclaimed centre for climate modelling 
2.4.2 Custom training of 6-8 technical staff members from CAMA, NWRA and AREA in 
climate modelling 
 
Sub-component 2.5 Sharing Climate Information Inputs and Outputs
 
2.5.1 Identify key climate data sources/agencies 
2.5.2 Agreed arrangements on data collation; and standards for data collection towards 
harmonization 
2.5.3 Awareness raising and capacity for targeted users  
2.5.4 Sharing outputs with end-users

Component 3: Integrating Climate Change into Rain-fed Agriculture  
Lead Agency: 
 
Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation (MAI) 
 
Objective:
 To develop a strategic approach to integrate climate change into rainfed 
agriculture  
 
Outcome: 
Pilot coping strategies implemented; policies and investment plans of rain-fed 
agriculture reflect climate considerations 
 
A
detailed assessment of the vulnerability of rain-fed agriculture to climate change will be 
undertaken, followed by consultations with stakeholders to develop a climate resilient rain-fed 
agriculture strategy.  Staff in MAI and associated institutions will be provided with 
specialized training in climate awareness and in developing a coherent response strategy.    
Coping mechanisms would be developed and piloted using the knowledge generated in 
Component 1 from the agro-biodiversity inventories and the vulnerability profiles of selected 
land races. In addition, community based 
pragmatic �win-win� options for adaptation will be 
developed and implemented by the communities. These would be small scale infrastructure 
and income generation activities that use local agro-biodiversity, which will not only help in 
sustainable management of natural resources, but will also help in the diversification of 
income sources for the communities. This approach is premised on the fact that climate 
change is an issue that involves long time scales, beyond the scope of an individual�s or a 
community�s time horizon for planning.  Diversifying livelihood options and sustainable 
management of natural resources, especially water, are expected to have immediate positive 
impact on the resource base and incomes. 
 
Sub-components and Activities
 
Sub-component 3.1: 
Raising awareness and capacity building at national and local levels 
on climate change
 
3.1.1. Broad based awareness programs to decision makers, implementing agencies and 
communities 
 
3.1.2. Targeted technical training programs for MAI 
3.1.3. System for transmission of weather forecasts and early warning system to farmers 
 
Activities under this sub-component will address capacity at two levels- at the policy and 
program level, awareness and technical capacity of staff in the MAI would be developed to 
take climate change into account in designing rain-fed agriculture programs. At the 
community level the aim is to increase awareness of climate phenomena and the need to 
develop response strategies.  A simple system to broadcast weekly weather forecasts to farmer 
would be established with the information generated from Component 2 by CAMA.  
 
3.1.1. Broad based awareness programs to decision makers, implementing agencies and 
communities.  
 
The program would be undertaken at two levels:  at the community level farmers� networks 
would be involved in disseminating information through workshops on climate change 
phenomena, the consequences of unsustainable natural resource use, and strategies for dealing 
with floods and droughts, extreme weather events that have increased in frequency in the last 
Page  30
30
few years.  The program would consist of field demonstrations, farmer-based hands-on 
training sessions, co-learning, twinning programs, local workshops, booklets, and posters, 
among other vehicles, and use communication tools that take into account the high level of 
illiteracy in these areas, particularly for females. Additionally, events such as festivals for 
seeds, traditional cooking, and agricultural knowledge will be held in several villages. 
Facilitation teams would be responsible for designing and implementing the awareness raising 
program, which would be based on the needs articulated in the agro-biodiversity and 
adaptation plans.  For implementing agencies and decision makers short training programs 
would be organized through NWRA and CAMA to share information on climate change, 
potential impacts on the rain-fed areas and how to incorporate climate considerations into the 
policies and plans of respective agencies. 
 
3.1.2. Targeted technical training programs for MAI.  
These special training programs would focus on climate change impacts on rain-fed 
agriculture, and the specific actions that MAI needs to take to respond effectively to 
the challenge. 
 
3.1.3. System for transmission of weather forecasts and early warning system to farmers.  
In collaboration with CAMA, a program for frequent weather updates for farmers 
would be developed, to provide weekly and monthly forecasts of rainfall and 
temperature and extreme events.  Low cost innovative technologies would be used to 
deliver this information to farmers in a timely manner (e.g. SMS text messaging). 
 
Sub-component 3.2: 
Piloting coping strategies in local landscape units 
 
Coping strategies in this context could be information, a technology or a technique that 
enables farmers to adapt agricultural practices to changing climatic conditions.  In the present 
project coping strategies could be a combination of all or some of the following:  
 
�
information that alerts farmers to changing weather conditions; 
�
information on crop varieties / land races or new crops suited to changed soil, 
temperature and precipitation conditions 
�
crop management techniques to ensure success under new 
temperature/precipitation regimes 
�
different sowing, inter-cropping, fertilizing, 
pruning, irrigation and harvesting protocols;  sustainable pest management 
techniques;  
 
The activities under this subcomponent will draw upon the information generated from 
Component 1 and Component 2 and will include: 
3.2.1. Establishing and strengthening of traditional farmer networks, including women�s 
networks
 
3.2.2. Targeted capacity building to access small grants to implement agro-biodiversity 
based plans 
3.2.3. Developing agro-biodiversity based coping plans at local landscape units  
3.2.4. Upgrading small scale community infrastructure as coping strategies 
3.2.5 Piloting agro-biodiversity based income generation activities
 
3.2.1. Establishing and strengthening of traditional farmer networks, including women�s 
networks
.
Page  31
31
Traditional farmer networks would be strengthened with incentives for group activities and 
workshops on adaptation. Farmers� networks would be the main channel for community 
awareness rising on climate change and the coping mechanisms.  They would also be the 
primary channels for scaling up implementation of coping mechanisms through the ongoing 
RALP and Groundwater and Soil Conservation project of the Bank.
 
3.2.2 Targeted capacity building to access small grants to implement agro-biodiversity based 
plans. 
 
Community groups would be given training on landscape level planning to conserve and 
sustainable use local agro-biodiversity, and implement soil and water conservation measures.  
This training would inform community members, especially women of the options available 
to diversify their income sources through the use and value addition to local agrobiodiversity.  
The training would also include preparation of agro-biodiversity based small and micro-scale 
business plans.   
 
3.2.3. Developing agro-biodiversity based coping plans at local landscape units.
 
Inventories of traditional knowledge and agro-biodiversity of the highlands would provide the 
baseline information on plant genetic resources of the highlands, which would be stress. 
Select pilot communities in the rain-fed highlands of Yemen will be supported in natural 
resource conservation and adaptation planning. The purpose of these plans is to identify ways 
to preserve local agro-biodiversity that has potential for conservation and income generation 
and, soil and water conservation needs in the landscape unit. These plans would address the 
needs of the communities as they relate to the sustainable and productive use of natural 
resources, which will help in adaptation to climate change. The gender dimension will be 
addressed through women-only discussions. Each committee would be accompanied by a 
local agro-biodiversity specialist.  Eight to ten rain-fed villages will be selected along relevant 
gradients of land cover/land use intensification and altitudinal zones from within a number of 
governorates, including Taiz, Al-Mahweet, Ibb and Sana�a.  
 
3.2.4. Upgrading small scale community infrastructure as coping strategies.   
 
Each of the pilot communities will benefit from small scale upgrading of infrastructure. This 
upgrading will be tied to conservation of water, soil, terraces and seed storage - among others 
�
and seek to maximize the use of local knowledge and adaptation practices. The kinds of 
projects envisaged include: 
a) upgrading of terraces 
b)  creation or enhancement of community seed storage facilities to store wild relatives 
and landraces of seeds that have an important resilient value 
c)  construction of efficient water storage 
d)  establishment of community centre for conservation 
e)  establishment of model farm 
f) Soil 
conservation 
g) small flood protection structures 
 
Each village will benefit from 2-3 upgrading projects, which will have been prioritized in the 
community agro-biodiversity based coping plans. Labour-intensive activities should rely 
primarily on labour from the community. For instance, terraces, which have a high water 
retention quality on hill sides and whose deterioration could contribute to more extreme 
Page  32
32
floods in the low lands, should be upgraded by local farmers and residents, who will be 
learning skills that are needed for conservation and who will be responsible for the upkeep of 
terraces, and for eventually transferring the knowledge to others in the village. This is an 
important capacity building exercise. 
 
In-kind community contribution will be emphasized to help with the sustainability of the 
project, such as the participation of labour.  Each community will implement one project at a 
time. Only after successful implementation of the first activity; they will be able to request 
funds for the subsequent activity.   
 
The upgrading activities will be accompanied by a team of specialists to ensure the 
conservation aspects of each project. Additionally, conservation-related training sessions will 
be organized to benefit the community as a whole. Each of the projects will be monitored and 
evaluated once it is up and running as well as documented. This will help replicate projects in 
other communities and make necessary amendments to them. User surveys will also be 
carried out periodically to get feedback on the projects, and make needed improvements. An 
oversight committee will be responsible for maintaining the projects and for collecting small 
maintenance dues. 
 
3.2.5 Piloting agro-biodiversity based income generation activities.
 
The aim of this component is to offer communities a practical way of alleviating poverty 
through the sustainable use and conservation of agro-biodiversity resources by financing 
small sustainable projects run by farmers in the targeted rain-fed areas. For instance, native 
species (that have both ecological and economic importance) that have been lost could be re-
introduced to repopulate local areas and yield a diversified portfolio of income streams to 
enhance resilience of local communities against climatic and other shocks. Additionally, they 
will be encouraged to test out new practices that will increase the productivity of crops and 
improve water usage. The kinds of projects that would be financed include:  
 
a)  Construction of small nurseries/home-gardens with a preference for those using grey 
water and other conservation methods. These would produce plants, vegetables, fruits, 
aromatic and medicinal plants 
b)  planting, preparation and packaging of medicinal herbs (aromatic and spices) 
c)  small home-based catering business specializing in traditional recipes 
d) agro-processing 
e) beekeeping 
f) 
planting of almond trees 
g)  Producing traditional ceramic ware for conservation purposes (to house seeds, etc.) 
 
Each project will be prepared and implemented by a small self-selected group of 3 to 5 
individuals.  Projects will be selected for funding according to pre-set criteria which include 
the sustainability of the project, and use of indigenous/local knowledge and conservation 
techniques, amongst other things. The poverty level of the recipient as well as his/or her skill-
set will also be a determining factor. Special efforts will be made to target female-headed 
households.  
 
These small projects will have a cap of $3000/individual project. The community will also be 
asked to provide in-kind contribution. For instance, a farmer interested in a small nursery can 
Page  33
33
allow other farmers to use his land for the same purpose, and the return from the sale of the 
product will be split equally amongst them.  
 
Farmers involved in small income generation projects will be accompanied in the process of 
developing the project idea and implementing it. In the case of projects targeting increased 
crop productivity or the use of new more productive seeds, for instance, an agro-biodiversity 
specialist will accompany these projects and document the agricultural calendar, soil, water 
input and productivity of seeds to ensure their sustainability, and make any necessary 
adjustments along the way. In the case of traditional recipes and medicinal herbs, a social 
specialist will accompany the process to document the kinds of recipes and herbs and their 
benefits. This process of documentation is critical in ensuring that traditional methods of 
farming, cooking, water use, and seed conservation are not lost, and can be replicated by other 
farmers, particularly young women who are often not exposed to the sort of experiences their 
mothers were exposed to.  
 
Additionally, project recipients will be provided with technical, logistical and training support 
towards improving capacities in matters of production, conservation, processing, and 
marketing. This training support will also be based on the needs articulated in the agro-
biodiversity plans. The marketing aspect in particular will be paid close attention; because of 
the restrictions on women�s mobility, a designated specialist will be in charge of marketing 
the goods in markets and during festivals.  
 
Sub-component3.3: Preparation of a Climate Resilient Agriculture Strategy for Rainfed 
highlands
 
3.3.1 Vulnerability Assessment of agriculture in rainfed highlands  
3.3.2 Stakeholder consultations with relevant agencies including communities and civil 
society 
3.3.3 Development of agriculture strategy for rainfed highlands  
 
3.3.1. Vulnerability Assessment of agriculture in rainfed highlands.
 
A
detailed assessment will be commissioned to assess the vulnerability of the rain-fed 
highlands to climate change.  This study will identify the impacts on crop productivity, 
cropping pattern, food production, rural employment and other socio-economic parameters 
due to changes in temperature and rainfall, soil loss and increase in frequency of extreme 
weather events. The study will provide guidance to decision makers on the costs of not 
making rain-fed agriculture climate resilient and result in a draft climate resilient rain-fed 
agriculture strategy for the country.  
 
3.3.2 Stakeholder consultations with relevant agencies including communities and civil 
society.  
The MAI will organize stakeholder consultations to discuss the vulnerability assessment 
report and draft rain-fed agriculture strategy with a wide range of stakeholders including civil 
society and communities.  The aim of this exercise is to build consensus for the strategy. 
 
3.3.3 Development of agriculture strategy for rainfed highlands.
 
The MAI, based on feedback from stakeholders will prepare the strategy which will be 
endorsed by the Government of Yemen.

Component 4: Project Management, Coordination, Monitoring and Evaluation  
 
The objective of this component is to work with the Project Implementation Unit [PIU] to 
provide effective management to support project implementation. The PIU will liaise with the 
lead agencies for each component, nurture and facilitate coordination between the 
components, liaising with technical partners, and stakeholders in the project. 
 
Project implementation will be overseen by the PIU which will be under the Ministry of 
Agriculture and Irrigation.  The PIU will be headed by a Project Director and have staff to 
oversee procurement, financial management and administrative support functions and an 
international expert on climate change and natural resource management issues to provide 
technical oversight for the project. 
 
The work of the PIU will be guided by a Technical Coordination Committee of key 
stakeholders and the project implementation group for each component. A monitoring system 
will be put in place that tracks performance of the PIU and its partners in relation to (a) 
progress in achieving scheduled activities and outputs; and (b) expenditure against budget 
allocations; and (c) project impact on key outcomes and indicators of achievement.  
 
Overall strategic guidance for the project is provided by the Steering Committee chaired by 
the Deputy Minister for Agriculture and Irrigation with membership from the following

Objectives and Principles of the ESIA 
Introduction 
The Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) found the ACAP to be a major 
advance in Yemen for supporting traditional rainfed agricultural systems (as opposed to 
groundwater withdrawal systems), including: building on traditional knowledge of farmers to 
develop 
�climate resilience� profiles of selected landraces; developing initial local predictive 
capacity of weather patterns and long term climate change scenarios for the country; 
integrating climate resilience into rain-fed agriculture by developing capacity of MAI at the 
national level, and through the development and piloting of a menu of coping strategies in 
partnership with the communities at the local level.  The ESIA confirmed that the overall 
environmental and social impact of the project should be positive - the social and 
environmental benefits of the project (in terms of increased agricultural and animal 
productivity as a result of improved seed production, enhanced livestock protection and 
expanded water and soil conservation and management) will outweighs any potential adverse 
environmental or social impacts. Further, it is found that any potential adverse impacts can be 
prevented or minimized by the preventive actions and mitigation measures recommended in 
the ESMP. The ESIA confirmed the "Category B" classification of the project under World 
Bank safeguard policies, finding no significant, cumulative or irreversible environmental 
impacts from the project. Furthermore, it recommends capacity building in integrated pest 
management at various levels to address any pest management concerns. Therefore the ESIA 
has concluded that OP 4.01 on environmental assessment and OP 4.09 on pest management 
are the only policies triggered by the project. No other safeguard policies are triggered by the 
project.  
 
Based on the ESIA an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) is developed, 
which specifies environmental and social screening criteria for sub-projects, provides options 
to mitigate risks and potential adverse environmental and social impacts, enhance project 
design and implementation practices by ensuring that the project components, particularly the 
sub-projects under Component 3, are environmentally and socially sound and sustainable 
throughout the project life and thereafter. 
 
The following tables list the objectives and the operational principles of the environmental 
and social assessment of the project according to the World Bank.  
Environmental Impact Assessment 
Objectives of the ESIA 
 
1. To help ensure the environmental and social soundness and sustainability of 
investment projects. 
2. To support integration of environmental and social aspects of projects into the 
decision making process 
3.  To minimize and manage the environmental and health risks associated with pesticide 
use and promote and support safe, effective, and environmentally sound pest 
management 
 
Page  36
36
Operational Principles of the ESIA 
The principles are listed below: 
1.  Assess potential impacts of the proposed project on physical, biological, and socio-
economic. 
The study has assessed the impacts and found that the project has significant 
positive environmental, social and socio-economic impacts which outweigh the minimal 
negative impacts, if any, and mitigation measures have been developed accordingly.
 
2.  Assess the adequacy of the applicable legal and institutional framework, including 
applicable international environmental agreements, and confirm that they provide that 
the cooperating government does not finance project activities that would contravene 
such international obligations. 
The legal and institutional arrangements developed 
within the ACAP are adequate. The government has initiated multilateral agreements.
 
3. Provide for assessment of feasible investment, technical, and siting alternatives, 
including the "no action" alternative, potential impacts, feasibility of mitigating these 
impacts, their capital and recurrent costs, their suitability under local conditions, and 
their institutional, training and monitoring requirements associated with them. 
A
complete chapter is developed  addressing the project alternatives including the �no 
action�
 
4.  Prevent and, where not possible to prevent, at least minimize, or compensate for adverse 
project impacts and enhance positive impacts through environmental management and 
planning that includes the proposed mitigation measures, monitoring, institutional 
capacity development and training measures, an implementation schedule, and cost 
estimates. 
The ESIA has described the impacts and the mitigations needed for the 
different interventions.
 
5. Involve stakeholders, including project-affected groups and local nongovernmental 
organizations, as early as possible, in the preparation process and ensure that their views 
and concerns are made known to decision makers and taken into account. Continue 
consultations throughout project implementation as necessary to address EIA-related 
issues that affect them. 
The project has initiated its activities in partnership with 
different stakeholders through the different stages of the proposed components
 
6.  Use independent expertise in the preparation of EIA where appropriate. 
The project 
complies
 
7.  Provide measures to link the environmental assessment process and findings with 
studies of economic, financial, institutional, social and technical analyses of a proposed 
project. 
The project complies
 
8.  Disclose draft EA in a timely manner, before appraisal formally begins, in an accessible 
place and in a form and language understandable to key stakeholders. 
The project 
complies
 
9.  Promote use of demand driven, ecologically based biological or environmental pest 
management practices (Integrated Pest Management [IPM] in agricultural projects and 
reduce reliance on synthetic chemical pesticides. Include assessment of pest 
management issues, impacts and risks in the EA process. An IPM is prepared in this 
context. 
10. Procure pesticides contingent on an assessment of the nature and degree of associated 
risks, taking into account the proposed use and intended users. Do not procure 
formulated products that are in WHO Classes IA and IB, or formulations of products in 
Class II unless there are restrictions that are likely to deny use or access to lay personnel 
and others without training or proper equipment Reference: WHO's "Recommended 
Classification of Pesticides by Hazard and Guidelines to Classification" (IOMC, 2000-
2002). 
A
checklist of prohibited pesticides has been prepared by the project (see 
attached annex
).

This chapter covers the national legislation and the national institutions that are essential 
prerequisites in environmental management of the ACAP. 
Legal framework 
 
Three laws are of direct relevance to the ACAP, these are: the Environment Protection Law, 
the Pesticides Law, and the Water Law. The key elements of the legislation are presented 
below. 
National environmental legislation  
 
1) Environment Protection Law 
 
In 1995, Parliament enacted a comprehensive Environment Protection Law (Law No. 
26 of 1995), consisting of five chapters and 95 articles. 
 
The law's objectives are to protect the environment, to combat pollution, and to protect natural 
resources, society, human health, and living beings from activities that damage the 
environment. In addition, the law is designed to protect the national environment from 
activities practiced beyond the national boundaries and to implement international 
commitments ratified by the Republic of Yemen in relation to environmental protection, 
control of pollution, conservation of natural resources, and the protection of such globally 
important environmental elements as the ozone layer and climatic changes. 
 
To avoid future adverse environmental effects, the law stipulates the incorporation of 
environmental considerations in economic development plans at all levels and stages of 
planning for all sectors. It also, imposes the performance of environmental assessment for all 
projects proposed by government, public, private, and cooperative agencies, and foreign 
companies. No licenses are to be issued for projects that degrade the environment. There is 
as yet no regulatory framework to support the implementation of the Environment 
Protection Law and the provision of undertaking environmental assessment for projects is 
not enforced. 
 
The law also details provisions on the protection of land and water resources, and the use of 
pesticides. Mainly, the law prescribes controls on the digging of wells, raising water-
harvesting levels, soil erosion, desertification and pollution, and urban and industrial 
expansion on agricultural lands. The articles on the use of pesticides stipulate the control 
measures over importation, handling, storage, registration, analysis and disposal of expired 
stocks as per the international standards of FAO, WHO, and the Arab Organization for 
Industrial Development (AOID). 
 
The law also broadened the role of the Environment Protection Council (established in 
1990) to include planning, licensing, monitoring, and auditing functions and to develop the 
procedures for defining, adopting, and monitoring environmental standards. The Law also 
outlines the role of line ministries and other technical authorities in the protection of air, 
water, and soil.

The Environment Protection Law provides the national, legal mandate for the application of 
the Bank�s Safeguard Policies that are relevant to the ACAP project. 
 
2) Pesticides Law 
 
The Pesticides Law was decreed in 1999 (Law No. 25 of 1999) and includes seven chapters 
and 36 articles. Executive regulations for enforcement are to be issued by resolution of the 
Minister of Agriculture. A registration guide and executive regulations were prepared to 
facilitate enforcement. Penalties for violations are stated. 
 
The law's objectives are to regulate the handling, registration, and inspection of pesticides and 
to avoid the poisonous effects on humans, and animals, the environment, and economically 
beneficial insects. The competent authority for enforcing the law is the General Authority of 
Plant Protection of the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation, and the authority is to 
coordinate its work with the Environmental Protection Authority. 
 
The Pesticides Law provides the national, legal basis for the application of the Bank�s Pest 
Management Safeguard Policy in ACAP interventions. 
 
3) Water Law 
 
The Water Law was issued in 2002 (Law No. 33 of 2002), in nine chapters and 82 articles. 
The law defines water resources as any water available in the republic's territory and its 
share of common waters jointly owned with neighboring countries. This is comprised of 
ground water, surface water, wastewater after purification, and saline water after 
desalination. 
 
The law's main objective is to regulate, develop, sustain and increase efficiencies in water 
utilization, protect from pollution, transport, and engage the beneficiaries of water 
installations in participatory management, investment, development, operation, maintenance 
and preservation at the various stages of development. Water is considered as a common 
property accessible to all. 
 
Management of water resources is entrusted to the National Water Resources Authority 
(NWRA), which is to form the strategy, assess the resources, classify water basins and zones, 
and prepare the national water plan, which is considered as one of the components of national 
economic and social planning. Priorities of water use are: drinking and domestic use shall 
have absolute priority. Then in declining priority, watering livestock, public utilities, 
irrigation, industrial purposes, minimal level of environmental needs. For these uses water 
distribution and transport should be done according to sanitary means. 
 
The responsibility of sustainable water management in the irrigation sector and the setting up 
of operation and maintenance of irrigation structures is delegated to the Ministry of 
Agriculture and Irrigation (MAI). Moreover, MAI should provide protection from floods, soil 
and wadi banks erosion, maintain agricultural terraces and prevent the expansion of industrial 
or other infrastructure at the expense of wadi or rainwater runoff channels. 
 
Existing and acquired water rights prior to the issuance of the law will be maintained, except 
in special cases when fair compensation will be ensured. Traditional water rights of rainwater 
Page  39
39
harvesting and natural runoff flow in relation to irrigation shall be maintained. The same 
applies for the traditional rights on natural springs, streams, and creeks. The traditional rights 
for surface wells whose depths do not exceed sixty meters prior to the issuance of the law 
shall be preserved. Holders of traditional rights are required to register their rights with 
NWRA, within three years of the issuance of the law. 
 
It is noted that no individual, group, or civilian or military government entity may dig water 
wells or establish any water installation for holding or diverting rainfall runoff, or stream 
water in or above wadi beds, unless a license from NWRA has been previously secured. 
Sustainable procedures for conservation of water and protection from pollution are 
elaborated in terms of site selection, specification of equipment, and control of the erection of 
any structures for agricultural, industrial, or any other activities in specific water shortage 
regions. Further, NWRA with the relevant government entities is charged to: 
�
Issue permits for wastewater and waste oil disposal. 
�
Provide support facilities to farmers for the adoption of modern irrigation 
methods aimed at conserving water; 
�
Set up water dams, dikes, and reservoirs for harvesting rainwater and recharging the 
aquifers; 
�
Provide support for conserving soil and vegetative cover for combating 
desertification; 
�
Encourage community efforts for participatory management and conservation of 
water resources; 
�
Assign areas protected from any industrial activity, the wastes of which constitute a 
hazard to water resources. 
�
Prepare the procedures for regulating disposal of industrial and agricultural waste 
water; 
�
Prohibit the transport or disposal of pollutant wastes; 
�
Issue permits to set up industrial establishments, the wastes of which would lead to 
pollution or quality degradation of water resources, until an environmental impact 
study is provided. 
 
The Water Law is a notable achievement in Yemeni legislation. Executive regulations for 
enforcement are to be prepared by NWRA within six months from the date of issuance of the 
law. As it stands, the new Water Law provides important legislation for environmental 
management of ACAP activities. 
 
4) Cooperatives Societies and Unions Law (Law No. 39 of 1998
)
Law 39 of 1998 concerning Cooperative Societies and Unions, which is the organizational 
and legal reference for all cooperatives and cooperative unions in the Republic of Yemen.  
This law is seen of relevance to the ACAP since it addresses community mobilization in 
terms of collective actions that would lead to better community involvement in the design, 
implementation and operation and maintenance of the coping measures and the income 
generation activities. 
 
Law no. 39 of 1998 grants a relevant Ministry and its departments and branches in the 
governorates the right to supervise and assure compliance with relevant laws, and provide 
advice and technical assistance to the cooperatives to plan their activities as well as to attend 
their General Assembly meetings. It defines five specific types of cooperatives.  Any other 
type of cooperative, such as Agricultural Cooperative Union (ACU) and its branches in the 
Page  40
40
country can be created according to the provision of Article 142, which states that it is lawful 
to establish other cooperative societies, according to provision of this Law, in other services.  
More specifically, Article 142 stipulates that a decree of establishment under appropriate line 
Ministry shall be developed and forwarded to the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour for 
approval and issuance.  
 
International and regional environmental legislation 
 
The Yemeni Government has ratified multilateral environmental agreements on 
agrobiodiversity and natural resources, oceans and seas, hazardous materials and chemicals, 
atmosphere and air pollution, and health and workers safety. The following list provides the 
multilateral agreements relevant to the project activities: 
 
Yemen is party to a number of international environmental agreements, the most important of 
which are: 
�
the Convention on Biodiversity (CBD) singed on 1/12/2005 
�
the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species (CMS); starting on 
the 1st of December, 2006; Yemen is party No.100 
�

Preservation of the Ozone Layer, commemorating the date in 1987, on which 
the Montreal Protocol on Substances that deplete the Ozone Layer was 
signed 
�
Yemen has also signed Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic 
Pollutants (Signed: 12/05/2001; Ratified: 01/09/2004), which is a global 
treaty to protect human health and the environment from chemicals that 
remain intact in the environment for long periods, become widely distributed 
geographically and accumulate in the fatty tissue of humans and wildlife. 
Administrative framework 
Project Implementation Unit (PIU)
 
The Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation (MAI) will be the implementing agency of the 
ACAP. The project implementation unit (PIU) will be responsible to coordinate and manage 
the implementation of all project activities, in agreement with the other partners. 
 
Page  41
41
Project implementation will be overseen by the PIU which will be under the Ministry of 
Agriculture and Irrigation.  The PIU will be headed by a Project Director and have staff to 
oversee procurement, financial management and administrative support functions and an 
international expert on climate change and natural resource management issues to provide 
technical oversight for the project. 
 
A
Project Steering Committee (PSC) of key stakeholders will be established to develop and 
coordinate activities between the partners. MAI�s wealth of institutional and technical 
experience and its national mandate for agricultural issues in general and agrobiodiversity in 
particular will support the work of the PCU and to cooperate harmoniously with government 
partners to achieve the project�s objectives. Additionally a Technical Coordination 
Committee (TCC) will be established to help during the transition phase between project 
preparation and project implementation. 
Partnership arrangements 
 
A
wide range of stakeholders will be involved in the project, many of whom have already 
helped to shape the project design. They will participate during implementation in different 
ways: some will be involved as lead agencies � responsible for providing a leadership role and 
oversight of components, other will play a role as contributing technical agencies and partners 
in line with their institutional mandates. Community cooperatives and organizations will also 
be directly involved in the project delivery. 
Institutional and implementation arrangements 
 
The project will be implemented over 4 years, with primary coordination provided by the 
Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation, and day to day implementation oversight provided by 
the Project Coordination Unit, consisting of the Project Director, supported by a core staff 
including procurement and financial management. In addition, there would be an international 
expert to deal with climate change and natural resource management issues, including M&E. 
The lead agencies for each of the components are (provisionally) as follows: Component 1: 
AREA; Component 2: CAMA; Component 3: MAI; Component 4: PCU, MAI.  
 
Overall strategic guidance for will be provided by the Project Steering Committee (PSC) 
chaired by the Deputy Minister for Agriculture and Irrigation with membership from the 
following Ministries and agencies: MoPIC, CAMA, AREA, EPA, NWRA, PCU, MoF. 
 
The Technical Coordination Committee (TCC) will include technical representation of the 
above entities but also include universities, NGOs, ICARDA, etc.  In order to coordinate with 
on-the-ground activities, focal points from key community cooperatives may also have some 
representation in the technical committees as required. 
 
The main partners working with ACAP will be the institutions listed as members of the PSC. 
At the technical level, the Technical Coordination Committees should be installed along the 
four components that accompany the project and support the PIU in all technical issues 
related to the implementation of the project. This includes specific branches of the 
organizations that are already listed as members of the PSC, see list below: 
 
Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation, MAI, Plant Production, Sana�a
,
which has an 
important role in developing national agricultural policies and legislations with respect to 
Page  42
42
plant production and seed management. One important task could be the certification of seeds 
and agricultural products from rainfed highlands. Within MAI, the Irrigation and Land 
Reclamation Sector (ILRS) represents all relevant aspects of agricultural irrigation. It has four 
General Directorates (GDOFI = General Directorate of On-Farm Irrigation, GDIS = General 
Directorate of Irrigation Structures, GDFRDC = General Directorate for Forests, Range and 
Desertification Control, GDSLR = General Directorate of Surveys and Land Reclamation). 
The ACAP aims to improve rain water use and on-farm hydrology (incl. spate irrigation), for 
the benefit of climate change adaptation. Therefore, results will be relevant for irrigated areas 
of Yemen. Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation, Agricultural Research and Extension 
Authority (AREA), Genetic Resources Centre, which is an important unit within AREA 
responsible for the documentation, conservation and research of germplasm on 
agrobiodiversity.

Baseline data   
Project area description  
The rural population relies on agriculture as a source of income. According to the Yearly 
Statistics Book (Central Statistical Organization, 2008), the cultivated area in Yemen is 
1,485,031 ha in which about 383,563 hectares (26%) are located in ACAP governorates 
(Sana'a, Al-Mahweet, Ibb, and Taiz). 
 
Information on existing natural and socio-economic resources is of fundamental importance 
for evaluation of environmental impacts. The baseline data on the current status of the 
physical, biological and socio-economic environments of the project areas are presented in the 
following paragraphs. 
The Physical Environment 
The physiographic characteristics of Yemen are very diverse, consisting of high, steep 
mountains, escarpments, deserts, coastal plains and hundreds of wadis running between the 
mountains and through the coastal plains. The country is classified into five physical regions 
(Mountain Massif, Eastern Plateau, Desert Regions, Coastal Plans and Yemen Islands). The 
project areas of the 
ACAP
 are located in massif regions, where Sana'a, A1-Mahweet 
Governorates in the central mountain massif, Ibb and Taiz in the southern mountain massif.  
The following sections describe the different physical conditions of Yemen and the ACAP 
areas: 
 
�
Arid tropical climate
,
which covers the coastal plains region and lower mountain 
slopes in the west and south and is characterized by high temperatures and low 
precipitation ranging from 0 to 400 mm. 
 
�
Arid sub-tropical climate
,
which is a transitional climate between the tropical climate 
of the coastal, plains region and the temperate climate of the highland region. Mean 
monthly temperature climate varies from 16�C to 28�C. Precipitation ranges from less 
than 100 mm to 800 mm. It covers the lower and upper mountain slopes and the 
eastern plateau region. (Taiz, Ibb and Al-Mahweet governorates) 
 
�
Temperate climate
,
which covers the mountains ranging in altitude from 1,800 to 
3,700m above sea level. Mean monthly temperature in this climate ranges from 10�C 
to 18�C. Precipitation varies from 200 mm to more than 1,200 nm. (Sana�a,) 
 
In most areas of Yemen, the reliability of rainfall is a critical concern, reflected in the fact 
that little or no truly rainfed agriculture is practiced. In virtually all cases, some form of 
rainfall supplementation occurs, whether tube-wells or hand-dug well systems or flood-water 
harvesting. Three main types of water collection are utilized for irrigated agriculture: 
 
�
Rain-water harvesting
,
which is based on collecting and retaining (mainly through 
contour bench terracing) overland flow in zones where soils permit agriculture. The 
numerous mountain terraces collect and retain rain and overland flow in a similar way 
in areas where natural slopes may be excessive, 12 percent or greater. 
 
�
Flood-water harvesting (or spate irrigation), which traditionally involves simple 
Page  44
44
earth-built diversion systems and irrigation networks near wadis. With small spates, 
these temporary embankments can be effective; with large spates, they are often 
swept away. Modern spate structures are built in wadi Zabid, Mawr, Siham to divert 
floods and withstand high flashes. 
 
�
Ground-water irrigation, which supports a11 agricultural area of about 444,000 ha, of 
which about 408,000 ha from tube wells and 36,000 ha from spring water. 
 
Groundwater remains the main water source for different water uses. The water levels in 
most critical aquifers are declining due to heavy extraction; in some cases water is extracted 
twice as fast as water recharge. Available fresh water per capita is decreasing. It fell down 
from 1,100 m
3
in 1,990 to 500 m3 in 1995. Considering the present pattern of water 
utilization and population growth, it is expected that water per capita will be only 100 cubic 
meters in the coming 25-30 years. In 2012, about 81 percent of urban and 21 percent of rural 
populations had access to safe drinking water. Water-borne diseases are one the main causes 
of infant mortality. 
The Biological Environment 
Yemen is very rich in flora and has a wide range of natural vegetation types, a mixture of 
species from East Africa, the Sahara-Arabia, and the Mediterranean. The vegetation coverage 
ranges from 9 to 43 percent and is dominated by grasses and dwarf shrubs. Precise data on the 
status and number of rare and endangered plants in Yemen are not available, however, some 
eight species plus some 19 additional species are considered endangered at the national level. 
Medicinal flora is not well documented in Yemen and research on the subject is limited, 
however, medicinal and aromatic plants are of great interest to rural highlands of Yemenis. 
 
Yemen's fauna comprises a population of 71 recorded land mammal species. Five species of 
gazelle have been recorded, four of which are believed to be almost extinct in the country. 
Other species are ibex, Oryx, baboon, red fox, wolf, hyena, jackal and bats. Among the most 
notable are the Arabian Leopard, which is considered endangered or already extinct and the 
cheetah, which has not been seen in the wild since 1963. Yemen is very rich in bird life and 
more than 350 species have been recorded. The presence of a wide variety of habitats and 
strategic positioning at the transition of three geographic regions make the country all ideal 
stopover in the flight paths of migratory birds, notably birds of prey and waders. 
 
The major threat to flora in Yemen and the ACAP regions are cultivation and poor 
agricultural practices, wood cutting for timber firewood and charcoal, over-grazing, soil 
salinity, wind erosion and expansion of villages and cities. The major threat to fauna is over-
hunting, killing of animals perceived as dangerous such as snakes, and destruction of habitats 
through deforestation and urbanization. 
The Socio-Economic Conditions 
As noted above, the project areas for the 
ACAP
 are located in four of Yemen's 4 
governorates (see table 1). In each of these governorates, the project will be implemented in 
eight districts. 
 
Population: 
The birth rate is 43 births for every 1000 persons. The total fertility rate is 6.7 
children
 
born per woman. The growth rate of the population is around 3.2 percent per year, 
while life expectancy is 57 years. The mortality rate for girls is 15 percent higher than for 
boys. Table 3 below list the population fro each district.

Poverty: 
Some 45 percent of the population in rural areas lives below the poverty line. For
 
the nation as a whole, 50 percent lives below the poverty line, with as many living on less 
than 2 USD/day, and 18 percent living on less than 1 USD/day. Table 4 lists Poverty Index

Health: 
Around 18 percent of the population cannot afford adequate nutrition and some
 
46 
percent of children under five are malnourished. As much as 90 percent of the population has 
less than the minimum standard of domestic water supply. Infant mortality, in terms of the 
number of children dying before reaching age one, is high. 
 
Education: 
The overall primary education rate is 78 percent, but only 55 percent of
 
primary 
school-aged girls attend school (with even less in rural areas at 24 percent). The overall 
literacy rate is 50 percent - male literacy being 70 percent and female literacy 30 percent 
which is typical to the ACAP areas. 
 
Employment: 
The overall unemployment rate in Yemen is 39 percent, with the
 
employment 
rate for women being less than one-third that of men. Typically, women are employed in 
low-productivity rainfed agriculture and small livestock activities. Access to credit is limited 
generally, but especially for women. 
Page  46
46
 
Access to Services: 
Large parts of the project area, especially those located in the
 
mountains 
and remote regions, are inaccessible, with only limited connection via roads. Most villages in 
the hinterland can be reached only with 4-wheel drive vehicles. Few villages have electricity; 
however, the use of cell phones is widespread. 
 
Farmers and Livestock Owners
:
The ACAP areas are dominated by farming practices of 
terraces where farmer�s main income is from cultivation of these terraces. Both women and 
men farmers share the responsibility if farming activities in addition to the household 
activities for women. The areas contain several types of cattle such as goats, cows, and sheep. 
There also camels and donkeys who are used for carrying materials and for ploughing. The 
intended beneficiaries of the 
ACAP
 are obviously the fanners and livestock owners whose 
productivity and economic well-being will be improved by the interventions of tile project. 
They will see the direct benefits of the enhanced seed production, improved livestock 
protection and expanded water and soil conservation and management. In addition to the 
farmers and livestock owners, their families (women and children), their neighbours and local 
communities should also benefit from the project in terms of improved living conditions and 
incomes and expanded economic opportunities. Women in rural areas, whom Yemeni cultural 
traditions have kept at a lower status and prevented from gaining control over important 
household resources, particularly stand to benefit from the project. There are educated and 
active women in many villages in the project areas whose roles in local development will be 
enhanced by the project. The EIA team met with a number of farmers and livestock owners, 
villagers and other locals in the project areas visited in both formal and informal settings. 
 
Area cultivated:
 The majority of the crops lands is cultivated by cereals then fodder crops. 
There are few areas cultivated by legumes, vegetables, and fruits. The most widely cultivated 
crop is sorghum, followed by Qat and wheat. See table 5.

Gender issues 
Background 
Over the last several decades, considerable effort has been made throughout the world to 
provide women farmers and women on the farm with efficient, effective, and appropriate 
technology, training, and information. The positive effects are beginning to show in 
agricultural production statistics and in indices of family welfare. Yet these successes still fall 
far short of what is needed at a time when public sector investments in agricultural research 
and extension are under pressure, when ever-greater demands are being placed on rural 
women in the face of rapid social transformation, and, in an increasing number of the rural 
areas, when evidence of environmental degradation is mounting and the dilemma of climatic 
changes.  
Yemen is facing a significant challenge of gender inequalities which is considered to be 
amongst the highest in the world is challenged by many cultures and traditions hat prevents 
them from participation. Yemen is ranked 121
st
 out of 140 countries in Gender Development 
Index (GDI).  Generally speaking, in addition to the traditions and culture that prevent women 
from contribution in many of the life domains they suffer from restricted access to resources 
like land as well as education and employment opportunities. Only 33% of rural girls 
compared to 73% of rural boys and 78% of urban girls are enrolled at schools. This in on one 
hand suggests not only a low level of schools enrolment for both sexes in rural area but also 
inequity in rural girls access to schools compared to their fellows of urban girls and even rural 
boys. Women are overwhelmed with plenty of farming and domestic responsibilities posed on 
them by the traditional labour distribution arrangements. This, among other factors, is 
considered one of the big challenges that prevent women from participation. 
 
Girls in villages did not have access to the same educational resources as in the cities. 
Especially with regard to computer skills, which are so necessary for employment and for 
development today, lack of access to this information was damaging to the potential for 
village women to succeed.  
 
�If we want to encourage women�s contributions. They need to be 
pulled out of the dark tunnel and the vicious cycle that they live in. 
Girls illiteracy programs and education are the keys �  
Ar Rujum, Al-Mahweet � Women Farmer 
 
The unavailability of computer at schools is very linked to the absence of sufficient energy. 
Unemployment is also higher among educated women. Although the role played by women in 
the household economics is significant, their input is to a far extent invisible and 
underestimated. Women are more engaged in the informal sector which is seldom recorded in 
the official statistics. Women are also overwhelmed by additional domestic responsibilities 
associated to the absence of services. They are the primary responsible person on fetching 
water, firewood and animal fodder and this, among other factor, is seen to be a major 
challenge for women.

Gender analysis 
Introduction 
 
During the field work that was conducted as part of this ESIA, certain categories of women 
are seen to be more vulnerable. This includes the poor and those do not have recorded 
genealogies or tribal origin, gender related issues were assessed during the interviews. It was 
found that the situation of women in certain places is very restricted and their mobility is very 
limited like the case in Sana�a. On the other hand, women were found to be more active in the 
public life in places like Saber Al-Mawadem. Table 6 below shows common women 
economic activities in the ACAP areas

The term gender describes the socially determined attributes of men and women, including 
male and female roles. Gender has proven to be an essential variable for analysing the roles, 
responsibilities, constraints, opportunities, incentives, costs, and benefits in agriculture. 
Innumerable development projects, government programs, research studies, and theoretical 
models have demonstrated that the improvement of women's access to agricultural research 
and extension services and water must begin with an analysis of men's and women's 
participation in the agricultural production process along two related dimensions: their role in 
agriculture and their role in the household.  
Gender in agriculture  
 
It is now widely demonstrated that rural women, as well as men, are engaged in a range of 
productive activities essential to household welfare, agricultural productivity, and economic 
growth. Yet women's substantial contribution continues to be systematically marginalized and 
undervalued in conventional agricultural and economic analyses and policies, while men's 
contribution remains the central, often the sole, focus of attention.  
 
Women are typically, and wrongly, still characterized as 
economically inactive
 in statistical 
surveys of agriculture, a result that tells us more about survey methodology than about reality 
(Janelid, 1975). Agricultural extension services still do not attach much importance to 
reaching women farmers or women on the farm. Policy makers and administrators typically 
still assume that men are the farmers and women play only �supportive role� as farmers� 
wives (Samanta, 1994).  
 
The recent investigation of GEF project in the rainfed rural areas (unpublished) suggest 
domination of women in farming activities. Women own almost the same cultivated area as 
men. On family level in smallholder farms the women are carrying the major work load. A lot 
of their time is spent collecting firewood; carrying water etc. loosing the opportunity for more 
profitable activities. 
 
The public consultation study of the ESIA indicated that women in some areas do all farming 
activities when men are seeking livelihood in the nearby towns. The study also indicates that 
women farmers share most farming activities with the men. 
Gender at the household level  
 
The rural household typically is a unit made up of individuals working in similar ways to 
meet common goals under the direction of a male head. In reality, the household is a more 
complex and dynamic social entity which may change its composition and goals over time as 
family members and dependents of varying age groups and sexes engage in various activities 
to meet the specific responsibilities assigned to each.  
 
However, while it is useful to draw attention to the fact that the distribution of labor along 
gender lines is a social and economic dimension, such division is not clearly adapted in equal 
terms. Women still has the major role in the house while men, the leading figure, is only 
giving orders and share no responsibility in the different tasks and activities in the house. The 
perception of men is dedicated along this line of superiority. 
Women Empowerment 
 
Page  50
50
The rapidly changing climate, increased variability in rainfall, water stress, and the poor 
management of natural resources affected the recent farming practices. This in turn is 
increasingly threatening community livelihoods in the highland areas forcing women to bear 
heavier work burdens and men to migrate to urban areas to seek out a better living condition. 
The changing climactic conditions is seen as an opportunity to empower women farmers, 
making them important players in the preservation of historic agro-biodiversity and valuing 
them as recipients of critical knowledge that will help reduce their level of poverty and better 
manage natural resources.  In particular, women farmers are seen as the holders of critical 
knowledge that can give way to more efficient farming practices, better water and soil usage, 
and the growing of crops that are nutritional, productive, and suited to local conditions. 
 
Despite low in the skills of female farmers, inaccessibility of women in many areas, and 
limited participation of women in the selection and design of projects; acknowledgement of 
women�s needs and interests should be integrated in any activity or project. A national 
agricultural strategy should trigger the importance of women�s� participation and involvement 
side by side with the men. The following are some suggestions in that line:  
 
1. 
Conduct additional gender-sensitizing programs for policy makers and project 
implementers.  
2. 
Collect gender-disaggregated data on rural and agricultural activities.  
3.  Encourage a more participatory approach, particularly involving more rural women.  
4.  Ensure equitable access to productive resources and extension services.  
5.  Design situation-specific implementation strategies, taking into account the unique 
socio-cultural and ecological variations of each area. 
 
Recommendations for more effective women empowerment 
 
Building on present potentials
 
Rural women in developing countries do possess skills and techniques which are an asset to 
the development process. Where groups already exist, capacity building of existing groups 
can be more successful than forming a new group to which members are less likely to be 
committed. Similarly, rural people are less likely to resist adoption of an innovation when the 
new technique is based upon a concept or procedure they are already familiar with or are 
currently using. 
 
It is important for during the initiation and development of projects to get acquainted with the 
organizations and knowledge systems available at the local level to determine how they can 
be improved, rather than assuming that nothing of significance is currently available. For 
example, instead of forming entirely new groups for women, local informal group or 
committees could be strengthened through short training exercises on farm bookkeeping and 
record-keeping, leadership, participation and democratic procedures. 
 
Institution strengthening
 
Several aspects of institution strengthening, including project integration and gender-
sensitization of officials, have been presented. The (World Bank 1992) summarizes four 
organizational principles which might serve as broader guidelines to institutional 
development: (1) situation specificity, (2) project flexibility, (3) farmer participation, and (4) 
mainstreaming women's programs. By incorporating these principles with the other factors 
Page  51
51
such as socio-cultural and local considerations, projects concerned with women's welfare will 
be more likely to have a meaningful and sustainable impact. 
 
Training Programs
 
Capacity building and training is a field that is not well adapted to women. The following 
suggestions are made for improving and redesigning training programs for farming women: 
 
1. 
Adapt programmes to women's needs and skills.  
2. 
Allow sufficient time to enable women to acquire new skills and adjust schedules to fit 
women's existing workloads.  
3.  Provide training in agricultural and other productive activities, not just home and family 
welfare topics.  
4.  Emphasize activities for which there is an actual income-generation potential.  
6. 
Ensure the involvement and full participation of women from poorer and less educated 
backgrounds.  
7.  Use trainers who are not only technically competent and up-to-date, but who empathize 
with the needs and aspirations of rural women.  
8. 
Provide practical field experience in the use of innovations.  
9. 
Shift more resources to village-based training rather than residential training.

Project Alternatives 
No Project Alternative 
The �no project� option means that there is no urgent need to adapt to climate change and to 
use coping measure. A �no project� alternative means continuing the present approach to 
agrobiodiversity management, with little or no considerations for agrobiodiversity 
conservation and ecosystem issues, limited investments specifically targeting crop loss, soil 
degradation, terraces destruction, water loss, and limited participation of local communities 
and relevant stakeholders. 
This alternative is therefore rejected.
 
A
purely scientific program of Technical Assistance with no community 
involvement 
This alternative was considered and rejected as designing coping mechanisms in a laboratory 
setting would not be pragmatic and would not have the benefit of �learning by doing� and 
feedback from farmers, the ultimate users of the coping mechanisms.  
A
community based natural resource management project  
This alternative was considered and rejected because it is increasingly evident that the natural 
ecosystems are themselves vulnerable to climate change. Instead, the project will use the 
traditional knowledge of the agro-ecosystems, coupled with improved climate understanding 
over time, to design a range of coping mechanisms. While �win-win� or �no-regrets� measures 
are important and have a place in adaptation, they themselves could be vulnerable in the 
longer term if they are not underpinned by increasingly rigorous scientific and technical 
knowledge. 
Focus on rain-fed agriculture vs. irrigated agriculture
 
While both rainfed and irrigated agricultural systems are constrained by water, the choice of 
the project to focus on rain-fed areas was based on the direct vulnerability of the rain-fed 
areas to variations of precipitation and temperature as a consequence of climate change, and 
the greater need for the farmers to cope with the inter-annual variation and variability of 
precipitation.  This is coupled with the fact that rain-fed highlands are globally important 
agro-ecosystems holding critical agrobiodiversity resources that could provide locally based 
solutions to cope with climate change and enhance food security both in Yemen and 
elsewhere.  Moreover, the design takes into consideration a key lesson from implementation 
of the Seeds and Agriculture Services project [P03917] which was that, �c
onsidering that 
about 60% of agriculture in Yemen is under rain-fed conditions, follow-on projects should 
place more emphasis on rain-
fed agriculture.�
 
Location of an agro-ecological gradient vs. total overlap with RALP project sites 
While a total overlap with RALP sites would have been convenient, it would not have 
captured the key aspects related to biodiversity and climatic variability over a meso-scale 
agro-ecological gradient.  In addition, the present design takes into account one of the key 
lessons from implementation of the Seeds and Agriculture Services project, which is, �the 
pattern and distribution of rainfall as well as temperature in Yemen varies from one region to 
the other. This unique microclimatic situation should be taken into account during the 
implementation stage in future projects for variety development and testing activities.�  
Therefore, the project and especially Component 3, are designed to test and pilot coping 
Page  53
53
options along a meso-scale transect that covers a range of altitudes, mean annual precipitation 
and agro-ecological gradients within the rain-fed highlands. 
The ACAP alternative
 
This project will provide a suite of options to farmers in the rain-fed highlands, to cope with 
climate change by building the knowledge base on climate change and agro-biodiversity. At 
the national level, the project will initiate improvements in collection, recording and analysis 
of climate data and development of national/regional climate models. Climate-related data is 
currently being recorded in monitoring stations under the authority of various organizations 
such as CAMA, NWRA and AREA, for their purposes and with little coordination. The 
project will help in creating a coordination and cooperation mechanism among such entities, 
and will put in place a template that will capture the various climate-related parameters that 
are being recorded both within and outside the country for Yemen.  Simultaneously, at the 
community level the project will finance documentation of agro-biodiversity and traditional 
knowledge of the highlands, which have the potential to equip rain-fed agriculture with land 
races and farming techniques that are more tolerant to climatic variability and change.  During 
the course of the project some coping options would be piloted with the communities in the 
highlands.  
 
The interventions initiated under this project are intended to be the building blocks which will 
help meet the challenges of climate change over the long term.  The project is designed as a 
pilot, and is closely aligned with the RALP which is under implementation.  Coping options 
developed during implementation of the proposed project will be scaled up through the 
RALP. More details about the different components are described in chapter 2 above. 
 
Accordingly it is clear that there will be many environmental and social benefits from the 
ACAP that over-
weigh it�s limited and minor impacts, in addition to the developmental and 
socio-economic benefits. Therefore, ACAP alternative is the most accepted one.

Potential Environmental and Social Impacts 
 
This chapter highlights the environment and social  assessment of the potential environmental 
and social impacts of project activities, particularly of subprojects envisaged under 
Component 3, (see project description) which includes land use management, water 
management, crop management and societal coping measures with focus to women. A 
screening matrix has been developed listing the different activities and the relative impacts it 
may produce against specific environmental and social receptors which are explained in the 
following sections. 
Identification of potential environmental and social risks 
The following sections list a discussion of the main expected potential environmental and 
social impacts on each of the subproject components. 
Anticipated environmental and social positive impacts 
The impacts would positively be in favour to the communities since the activities introduced 
will allow farmers to cope with climatic changes in terms of water availability as 
supplementary irrigation, rehabilitation the deteriorated terraces that farmers are abandoning, 
in addition to women empowerment. The following lists the positive impacts. 
 
Providing the communities with water harvesting systems:
 WHS are use for 
supplementary irrigation to irrigate crops during short or/ and changes of times of rainfall. 
Water provid
ed to cattle�s are also a great benefit during the same periods and also during 
rainy seasons. Yemen through past periods of time has been using WHS in all mountainous 
areas due to the importance of such systems to the stability of communities. 
Mobilize the 
communities and encouraging community participation
 would make operation and 
maintenance more effective and water distribution and allocation more equitable resulting in 
social coherence and stability. 
 
Terraces rehabilitation:
 terraces are the main agricultural source in the rainfed highlands 
where Yemenis have been using these systems efficiently, maintaining them properly and 
depending on their production of different types of crops. The rehabilitation and maintenance 
of terraces would allow communities to use them more efficiently which would result in more 
agricultural activities, increasing income to families, and settlement of farmers. Social 
relationships and interaction would be positively enhanced through cooperation and 
participation. 
 
Establishment of flood protection structures: 
climate change also produces high flood flow 
causing damages to infrastructure, agricultural land and houses. Helping the communities to 
avoid damages to their fields and farms by providing such protection structures means 
preservation of crops and farms and saving long season production costs input and sustains 
the livelihood of the farmers. 
Building up the skills of farmers with participation tools
 will 
encourage farmer�s participation in a regular maintenance of these structures allowing the 
structure to last longer and stand against sudden floods.
 Women empowerment:
 increasing 
awareness and education levels among women especially of their rights and mobilizing them 
into comities and associations will enable them to recognize their strengths and to share 
responsibilities with the community more effectively. Additionally, it will allow women to 
take decisions on matters and activities that concern them and on most issues that affect both 
Page  55
55
women and men. It is known that women work the hardest in Yemeni rural areas where they 
do most of the household works in addition to farming activities, water fetching etc� More 
empowerment would result in giving women better status and provide them with better 
opportunities to reduce hardship, alleviate illiteracy, improve the health status of women and 
their children and contribute more positively to the community they live in. 
 
Introduction of improved seed varieties tolerant to droughts
:
the climate change affected 
the agricultural system and reducing the production of the usual crops. Introducing new 
varieties seed tolerant to droughts (and thermo-stress) would enable farmers to cope with the 
climate change through the cultivation of such varieties. Consequently, such improved 
varieties will result in sustainable production, better income and social stability. These 
improved and better seeds will result in improved crop varieties that are likely to be better 
adapted to shifts in climate patterns.  
 
Income generation activities: 
such as: 
1.  Construction of small nurseries/home-gardens to produce plants, vegetables, fruits, 
aromatic and medicinal plants 
2.  planting, preparation and packaging of medicinal herbs (aromatic and spices) 
3.  small home-based catering business specializing in traditional recipes 
4. agro-processing 
5. beekeeping 
6.  planting of almond trees 
7.  Producing traditional ceramic ware for conservation purposes (to house seeds, etc.) 
 
Communities will be offered a practical way of alleviating poverty through the sustainable use 
and conservation of agro-biodiversity resources by financing small sustainable projects run by 
farmers in the targeted rain-fed areas. 
Involving the communities in a participation process 
of implementing such activities will offer them with better tools of management, social 
stability and good income. 
 
However, any activity will be accompanied with impacts that may affect the outcome and the 
results envisaged and aimed at by the project people. Therefore, it is necessary to address the 
anticipated impacts, if any, and the required mitigation measures in order to implement the 
different activities positively and effectively. The next part highlights the anticipated negative 
impacts of the activities. 
Anticipated negative impacts 
The following environmental receptors are the ones relevant to the project activities and they 
will be used to assess the environmental impacts of the different activities on each of them. 
�
Agrobiodiversity 
�
Air quality 
�
Water quality 
�
Water quantity 
�
Soil degradation 
�
Pasture 
�
Human health 
�
Animal health  
 
The social receptors are suggested to outline the social agenda within the community in such a 
Page  56
56
way on how the subproject interventions affect the community. The receptors are: 
�
Social satiability 
�
Community participation 
�
Household income 
�
Family relations and 
�
Women empowerment 
 
The assessment of negative impacts is based on a quantitative assessment ranging from 1-4 
where �4� is high impact (H), �3� is moderate (M), �2� is low (L) and �1� is neutral or 
negligible (N). The decision for impact evaluation is based on the following rules: 
 
If any of the attributes is ranked �High�, the overall impact is significant (H). 
 
For an impact to score as �Neutral� or no impact, all attributes has to be ranked as 
�Neutral� (N). 
 
For the rest of rules, an impact is evaluated based on the dominant ranking.  
 
In case of a tie, the higher rank prevails (e.g. if the number of attributes ranked as 
�Low� equals the number of attributes ranked as �Moderate�, the overall impact is 
considered of �Moderate� significance.  
 
Analysis of Impacts 
Land Use and Management
 
Measures to enhance traditional practices of soil fertility
:
Farmers are mainly using animal 
organic matters as fertilizers in addition to chemical fertilizers. Manure application and cover 
the land with stems, leaves and roots from harvests are some traditional practices used by 
involving women in the process of collection, and application on the fields. The 
environmental impact of organic manure on the human�s health is 
moderate
 and would 
require specific mitigation measures. 
The social impact is, however, negligible.
 
Measures to increase and preserve soil moistures:
 any activity in the project to provide a 
substantial soil moisture enhancement will have no environmental and social impact. On the 
contrary positive impacts will prevail. 
 
Rehabilitation and maintenance of terraces: 
Terraces rehabilitation would involve some 
construction aspects that might produce 
low impacts
 to the environment such as 
roads to 
provide easy access for construction, transport of agricultural soil, and solid construction 
wastes.
 Social impact would be important in the case of community involvement and 
interactions. However social aspects might produce 
moderate
 impacts such in terms of the 
community refusing
 to provide their contributions
.
Enhancement of traditional practices of soil fertilization:
 the only impact on the 
environment which is moderate that people especially women might be affected when dealing 
the manure.  
Water Management 
Safe and free access to water through water supply systems especially for women:
 
environmental impacts of such systems are delineated by; (1) d
isposal of oil and fuel and 
spare parts on agricultural land and pasture and increase of smoke which produce moderate 
impact (M) and (2) the overexploitation of water that produces high impact (H).
 
Page  57
57
 
Rehabilitation and construction of water harvesting system and springs (WHS):
 the WHS 
will have a 
low (L) impacts on the environment due to the following aspects; use of 
agricultural land as WHS sites, wastes of construction material. While it will produce 
moderate (M) impact on health as a result the increase of mosquitoes
.
The social impact is 
found 
moderate
.
Establishment of flood protection structures:
 environmentally, low impacts (L) are resulted 
due to; (1) 
Establishment of protection structures in areas causing impacts on the existing 
habitat features, (2) Solid wastes such as debris are left nearby the structures after 
completion of the construction and (3) Intermittent damages are not repaired or rehabilitated 
on time, weakening the structural system of the flood protection works.
 On the other hand, 
social impact are seen to be moderate (M) due to; (1) 
Refusal of some farmers to provide the 
contribution for the construction of the structures
 and 
(2)
 
Improper maintenance of the 
structure. 
Crop Management 
Introduction of improved crops (drought tolerant varieties):
 the activity may result in low 
impact (L) on the environment due to the presence of 
some insects and crop diseases with the 
new varieties. 
Negligible social impact (N) is foreseen with this activity. 
 
Introduction of improved trees (drought tolerant varieties):
 the activity may result in low 
impact (L) on the environment due to the presence of 
some insects and crop diseases with the 
new varieties. 
Negligible social impact (N) is foreseen with this activity. 
 
Preservation of seeds
:
the impact on the environment is low (L) due to the miss management 
of preservation whilst social impact is negligible (N) 
 
Establishment of community centres for conservation:
 
the activity could have low (L) 
environmental impacts due to: 
(1)
 
Building the community centre on agricultural land and 
pasture and (2) Construction solid wastes are left on the site. 
The social impact is also low 
(L) which is due to; 
(1)
 
Refusal of farmers to provide the contribution for the  establishment 
of the centre and (2) The canter could be used for activities other than conservation activities. 
Income Generation Activities 
Construction of small nurseries/home-gardens with a preference for those using grey water 
and other conservation methods:
 the environmental impacts would result from: 
(1)
 
Grey 
water used is not well treated (2) Solid wastes of construction materials such as plastics and 
metals may pollute the environment near the nurseries 
which both have low significance (L). 
Socially, low impact (L) will be due to 
Refusal of farmers to provide the contribution for the 
construction of the nurseries/ home gardens
 and moderate impact (M) due to 
improper 
operation and maintenance of the nurseries/home gardens.
 
Agro processing:
 a waste water production may produce low (L) impact on the environment 
while on the social aspect; it has negligible impact (N) 
 
Producing traditional ceramic ware:
 low (L) environmental impact resulted from 
using clay 
from fertile agricultural lands.
 The social impact is negligible (N). 
 
Page  58
58
Beekeeping:
 environmentally, the activity will have negligible impact (N). Socially, it will 
have moderate (M) impact due to 
the disputes between farmers on who first gets the 
beekeeping nurseries
 which will affect the social stability. 
Women Empowerment 
Safe and free access to water through water supply systems especially for women:
 the social 
aspect of this activity might produce conflicts among women in terms of 
water allocations. 
The impact is seen to be of moderate (M) significance.  
 
Empowerment of women:
 
reluctances and unwillingness of the community especial men to 
support women
 could be resulted when implementing this activity. A moderate impact (M) is 
seen as a result. 
 
Tables 7 and 8 list the environmental and social management matrixes. The matrices describe 
the activities, the impacts and the impact significance on the both environmental and social 
receptors.

The Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) 
 
Introduction 
The Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) aims at defining a mechanism for 
implementing mitigation measures for expected negative impacts and to monitor the 
efficiency of these mitigation measures based on relevant environmental indicators. The 
ESMP identifies certain roles and responsibilities for different stakeholders for implementing, 
supervising and monitoring the environmental and social performance of the project. 
 
All activities that will be carried out under sub-component 3 (3.2.4 and 3.2.5) of the project 
will be purely on voluntary, demand-driven basis and will be implemented by the 
communities (local farmers and residents) themselves. Some of these activities could include: 
upgrading of reasonably intact terraces; construction of water harvesting systems (WHS); soil 
conservation and flood protection structures, etc. The farmers and residents will be taught 
skills that are needed for conservation and who will be responsible for the upkeep of terraces, 
and for eventually transferring the knowledge to others in the village. Additionally, the 
upgrading activities will be accompanied by a team of specialists to ensure the conservation 
aspects of each project. Furthermore, conservation-related training sessions will be organized 
to benefit the community as a whole. It should be noted that each of the projects will be 
monitored and evaluated once it is up and running as well as documented. An oversight 
committee will be responsible for maintaining the projects and for collecting small 
maintenance dues. The above-mentioned sub-projects are the ones that could have minor 
negative environmental and or social impacts that will implement mitigation measures are 
outlined in the ESMP.  
 
The following sections will also present the main social mitigation measures. It is also 
important to mention that more than one of the mitigation measures will address in fact more 
than one impact. Reference will be made to these measures in their place. 
 
Institutional Arrangements  
Management Setup 
 
This Project is implemented through the coordinated efforts of four Ministries/Agencies:  
�
Ministry of Agriculture (MAI) 
o
Agricultural Research and Extension Authority (AREA) 
�
Ministry of Water and Environment 
o
National Water Resources authority (NWRA) 
o
Environmental Protection Authority (EPA)  
�
Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation 
�
Civil Aviation and Meteorology Authority (CAMA).   
 
The Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation (MAI) is the main implementing agency for the 
project and will be responsible for providing administrative oversight, coordinating funds 
flow, coordination with other implementing agencies and, monitoring and reporting on the 
results.  Project administration will be carried out by the Project Implementation Unit (PIU)

which would lead the coordination activities with the other implementing agencies according 
to their specific roles and responsibilities.
 
Overview and Structure
 
The PIU will be responsible to coordinate and manage the implementation of all project 
activities, in agreement with the other partners. The work of the PIU will be guided and 
monitored by MAI. A Project Steering Committee (PSC) of key stakeholders will be 
established to provide strategic guidance and oversight for the project.   Additionally, a 
Project Technical Committee (PTC) will be established to oversee implementation and 
provide technical guidance to the project, to support the PSC, and guide the PSU in all 
technical issues of this project.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigat
ion (MAI) will be the government�s focal point for the 
project, and as Chair of the Project Steering Committee (PSC) will provide strategic 
coordination and monitor progress. MAI will be supported within this committee by the 
Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE) and other partners and stakeholders. The chair of 
the TCC would be the vice chair of the PSC. 
 
The PSC will meet every six months to provide strategic direction for the project 
implementation and assess the project�s progress against planned outputs, and will at the same 
time seek to ensure that the necessary inter-agency coordination is in place and working well. 
The PSC will comprise of key ministries and institutions that have an influential role in the 
development of the rainfed highlands of Yemen. The members of the Committees would 
include the following: 
 
�
The Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation (MAI) (Chair),
 which has an important role 
in developing national agricultural policies and legislations. MAI is responsible to 
provide the technical guidance and extension services for the farmers, with respect to 
plant production and seed management, as well as constructing of irrigation structures 
(small dams, canals, water tanks, diversion weirs). It has also a leading role for agro-
biodiversity. 
�
Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MOPIC):
 The ministry and its 
units are responsible for planning and developing international cooperation; it can link 
to other internationally supported projects and activities relevant to the GEF project 
�
Ministry of Finance (MOF):
 The ministry and its units are responsible for any 
financial planning in Yemen; any subsidy or support from the GoY will be subject to 
the MOF 
�
The Civil Aviation and Meteorology Authority (CAMA)
 is responsible for climate 
monitoring, climate data gathering, and weather forecasting (both for general public 
and civil aviation). CAMA has access to Yemeni climate data, experience in weather 
forecasting, and a structure that can facilitate a climate modelling activity. 
�
The National Water Resources Authority (NWRA)
 is responsible for water resource 
planning and monitoring, legislation, and public awareness. It has the sole 
responsibility and mandate for water resources management. One of its tasks is to 
provide ongoing assessment, coordination and enforcement of all components of the 
water law. NWRA is currently establishing a network of rain gauging stations. 
�
The Agricultural Research and Extension Authority (AREA),
 which is an important 
unit within MAI; AREA has been mandated with the supervision and coordination of 
national agricultural research activities, technical supervision of extension activities, 
and evaluation and certification of research results in the country.  
�
Ministry of Water and Environment, Environment Protection Authority
 
(EPA),
 Sana�a, 
which has an important role in climate, water and biodiversity related issues. EPA 
played a leading role in the preparation process of the 
National Adaptation 
Programme of Action
 (NAPA). 
 
The Technical Coordination Committee (TCC) will be established to co-ordinate and specify 
the implementation of the project. This committee would discuss all technical issues and 
prepare a quarterly summary for the Project Steering Committee (PSC). The Deputy Minister 
of Irrigation and Land Reclamation Sector (ILRS) has been proposed by MAI as chairman of 
the TCC. Also one of the General Directorates within the ILRS is proposed to act as vice 
chair.

The ESMP on environmental mitigation measures 
Summary of impacts and mitigation measures 
Potential negative environmental and social impacts 
that have been identified and ranked as 
�High�, �Moderate� or �Low� in Chapter 8 of this report are discussed and in order to 
eliminate or reduce the environmental and social impacts identified due to the project 
activities, it is recommended to adopt and implement a series of mitigation measures as 
follows: 
 
1.  Construction of water harvesting systems, and the rehabilitation of the terraces 
would necessarily need truck roads, if not available, to transport construction 
materials which would produce an impact on the agrobiodiversity, agricultural and 
soil areas.
 To the maximum extent possible, avoid constructing roads through 
agrobiodiversity settlements, agricultural land or pasture. Whenever possible use animals 
to transport building
 
materials to the sites as an alternative to road construction. 
 
2.  Removal and transportation of fertile soils from agricultural lands and pasture areas 
to rehabilitate the terraces systems has minor impact to the environment.
 Therefore it 
is suggested to avoid taking fertile soils from pasture areas and use soil from wild land 
that are not cultivated or used as settlements for habitats. It would be interesting to initiate 
and develop agreements and roles among communities not use or transport fertile soils 
from agricultural lands that are currently used. 
 
3.  Solid wastes such as debris are left on the construction sites after completion of the 
construction causing impact on the agrobiodiversity of the area.
 Contractors who have 
been hired from outside the area or from within the community and according to the roles 
and regulations of contracting, should be obliged and responsible to remove solid wastes 
during and after completion of the works 
 
4.  The water supply projects would provide easy access to water which may cause an 
impact on the agrobiodiversity, agricultural and pasture areas due to the disposal of 
used oil and fuel and spare parts on agricultural land and pasture and increase of 
Page  69

smoke
.
It is, therefore, necessary to avoid disposing of used oils and parts on areas of 
agrobiodiversity, agriculture and pasture. For mitigating this measure the ESMP 
recommended control of oil changing and fuelling activities. It may be profitable to 
collect used oils, if possible, and sell it as an income generation source for the community. 
Recycling the used oil and reusing it, which may require small and simple recycling plant 
might as well be a way of generating income to the community.  
 
5.  Water supply projects might lead to great dependency on the groundwater leading to 
overexploitation of the aquifers causing high impacts on the groundwater quality 
and quantity.
 Even though such systems would allow women to spend more time on 
other activities, necessary mitigation measures should be taken such as: (i) continues 
monitoring of the water source to limit the extent of groundwater depletion and quality 
deterioration, (ii) reduce the amount of abstraction and determine a rational use for the 
water among the community, (iii) start the implementation of awareness rising campaigns 
of water conservation (iv) utilize efficiently rooftops rainwater harvesting as an additional 
source for household use to ease the stress on groundwater and reduce overexploitation. 
 
6.  Establishment of small flood protection structures in areas may cause impacts on the 
existing habitat features.
 Addressing integrally the agrobiodiversity component, the 
technical and economical aspect of the site selection, would mean selection of the sites to 
the maximum extent possible in areas where habitats are not featured. However, if 
construction of protection works is unavoidable in habitat area, it is advised to make all 
necessary precautions as not to disturb the habitat features of the area. 
 
7.  Intermittent damages to structures such as small flood protection structures are not 
repaired or rehabilitated on time, weakening the structural system of the flood 
protection works
.
Continues monitoring of the impact of the flood structure on the 
agrobiodiversity and accordingly taking the necessary precautions and mitigations. In 
addition, it would ultimately important to hand over the O&M of the structure to the 
community which would require the formation of an operation and  maintenance 
committee responsible for regular maintenance with an emphasis of conducting regular 
maintenance especially after rain and floods 
 
8.  The introduction of improved crops and trees drought tolerant varieties might carry 
harmful insects and diseases which would produce an impact on the 
agrobiodiversity, and health.
 The mitigation measures would require careful inspection 
of the verities against diseases that may be harmful and those that are free from such 
diseases should be selected. Careful inspection of varieties from insects should be done 
before they are introduced to the areas and those are free of harmful insects should be 
selected. 
 
9.  Using grey water to irrigate small nurseries/home-gardens that is not well treated 
and did not pass through simple treatment processes may have an impact on the 
environment.
 Therefore it is necessary to prevent such waters to reach water sources and 
courses. Prior to using the grey waters, it could be better to install simple treatment 
systems and treat the grey waters. Increasing awareness among communities would 
reduce the negative impacts.
 
10. Enhancement of traditional practices of soil fertilization means the use and 
application of traditional animal organics which are usually dealt with by women 
Page  70
70
and children without any safe measures. Such use and application may result to an 
impact to the health of humans.
 Therefore it is necessary to (i) avoid direct contact  
direct contact with the organic matters and should wear safety wears (ii) provide  the 
community with safety and healthy guidelines and procedures of the safe use and 
application of organic matter and (iii) avoid transportation of infected animal organic 
manure from affected areas to another areas.
 
The following table lists the mitigation measures and the associated institutional 
responsibilities, time frame and associated costs.

The ESMP on social mitigation measures 
Summary of social mitigation measures 
Potential negative social impacts 
that have been identified and ranked as �High�, �Moderate� 
or �Low� in Chapter 8, are discussed here in the following section in order to eliminate or 
reduce the social impacts identified due to the project activities, it is recommended to adopt 
and implement a series of mitigation measures. The mitigation measures fall mainly on 
community mobilizations. Resolving disputes, conflicts, and disagreements are foreseen in 
the ESMP due to inversions of some activities such as constructing water harvesting systems, 
rehabilitation of terraces, and establishments of flood protection structures, income generation 
and women empowerment. The mitigations are summarized as follows: 
 
1.  Refusal of farmers to provide the contribution for the rehabilitation activities 
of WHS, terraces and the establishments of flood protection structures and 
community centres would have significant impacts on the social aspect. 
The 
necessary mitigation measures focus on increase awareness among farmers about 
the importance of rehabilitation and the reasons for contributions either in kind or 
money to feel ownership. Mobilize the community and organize it into groups or 
associations to take the responsibility to make the necessary management plans 
that deal with of the rehabilitation and construction issues on behalf of the 
community which will in turn strengthens social stability and family relations. In 
addition, it would be important to build the skills of the community with the tools 
of community participation. 
 
2. Land allocations are essential to construct the sites which are the 
responsibility of the farmers. In some cases there are possibilities that such 
land is not provided resulting in disputes among farmers causing social 
instability, and disagreements between families.
 The community and not 
individuals should decide on the site collectively addressing the importance of the 
activities to the community. Special arrangements could be agreed with the owner 
of the land such as buying the land and make it as endowment for the whole 
community. Develop special arrangements and standards among the community to 
benefit from the systems through the establishments of O&M committees. 
Mobilize the community and organize it into groups or associations to make the 
necessary management plans that deal with of the rehabilitation and construction 
issues on behalf of the community which will in turn strengthens social stability 
and family relations. In addition, it would be important to build the skills of the 
community with the tools of community participation. 
 
3. When the systems are rehabilitated or constructed, there could be a 
possibility that improper operation and maintenance can take place especially 
in communities that have influential people who only see their individual 
interests. During the public consultation there exist some cases of this type in 
the visited areas.
 Farmers suggested the importance of managing and operating 
the systems in an equitable way by setting roles and standards to better operate and 
maintain the systems in order to allow the whole community to benefit from the 
systems and enhance social stability. An O&M committee is therefore, to be set 
from among the community to fulfil this task. Building its capacity in terms of 
management of the systems is important.

4.  Establishment of a conservation centre could be used for activities other than 
conservation activities. 
Ignorance and self interests may lead to the misuse of the 
centre and make a place of different activities as place for Qat sessions for 
example. Awareness campaigns on the purpose of the centre and its benefits to the 
community should trigger at the initial construction phase. Additionally, a 
management body should be formed to manage the centre. Build up the skills of 
the community with participation tools to enhance cooperation among people. 
Such measures would stimulate cooperation among families and stabilize the 
community.  
 
5.  Water supply projects might lead to great dependency on the groundwater 
leading to overexploitation of the aquifers. As a result water availability 
would be reduced substantially causing conflicts within the community in 
allocations and water shares distributions.
 Women would be the most effected 
persons since most of the households work is on her burden such as water 
fetching. Therefore, the related authorities should implement awareness campaigns 
on the importance of water conservation. The water supply project should be run 
by an O&M committee that deals with the management of the water system.
 
As 
an additional source, utilization of rooftops rainwater for household use to ease the 
stress on groundwater and reduce overexploitation. 
 
6.  Women may face reluctances and unwillingness from the community to give 
women more empowerments.
 Therefore, it is important to conduct awareness 
campaigns about the importance of women participation on the different activities 
of the community especially those related to women and accept women as partners 
with men. Allow women to organize themselves into women committees that deal 
with women affairs and interests. Address the issue of women participation as to 
produce more benefits and rewards to the community
 
Table 10 lists the social mitigation measures and the associated institutional 
responsibilities, time frame and associated costs 
 
Conclusion: 
The mitigations described in the Social Management Plan (SMP) are focused on the 
methodology of community participation since such measures are impacting the social 
parameter of the community. The procedures and steps required to implement these 
mitigations are mostly related to improving community relations, enhancing social 
stability and community and women empowerment. The ACAP in its project 
documents stresses on community mobilization towards efficiently implementing the 
climate change adaptations techniques.  
 
The process of community participation, its techniques and those most related to the 
project is described in Annexes V and VI. More training and capacity building should 
accompany the participation process impeding the necessary tasks and issues designed 
in the project. Table 12 lists the training topics related to the project.

It is clear from the table is that the parameters are of  a more general type and specific issues 
under each parameter can be addressed before implementation of the monitoring process and 
according to the needs of the implementing agency so that clear understanding of the 
implementation process can be assessed satisfactorily. 
Cost estimates and Sources of funds 
The 
sources of funds for the implementation of the ESMP will mainly be from the project�s 
operations budget. 
Budgetary resources for implementing the ESMP (mitigation measures as 
well as capacity building/training) and M&E will be allocated as part of the project 
implementation arrangements.
 The main cost elements associated with the implementation 
of the ESMP can be categorized as follows: 
 
Manpower: 
In order to implement the ESMP, a part-time environmental consultant should be 
recruited. The duties and responsibilities will include monitoring the implementation of the 
mitigation measures, recording any environmental violations and most importantly recording 
and analysing the environmental monitoring data. The periodical environmental reports as 
stated in the above tables will be included in the periodical project progress report that should 
be submitted to the implementing agency. 
Page  97

In addition, a social development consultant will be recruited to conduct periodical social 
studies and enhance the socio-economic aspects of the project. The cost associated with each 
element is embedded in the overall project staffing budget. 
 
Implementation of mitigation measures: 
Most of these costs are included in the activities of 
the project. Therefore, any associated costs related to construction will be part of the works 
contract. 
 
The ESMP on capacity building and training 
The training and capacity building of the subproject components are crucial for the 
community. The major social impact cannot be mitigated without building the capacities and 
skills of the community in order to adapt to the intervention of the subprojects. Recently as 
has been discussed with the farmers, the major issues in the present WHS are the 
mismanagement which allows only a few people to benefit from the systems leaving 
community ain a social dilemma. The following Table 12 list most of the parameters needed 
for training.  
 
The ESMP on monitoring and reporting 
The overall environmental and social impacts of the ACAP are expected to be significantly 
beneficial in terms of environmental and social issues.  Monitoring and evaluation of the 
implementation of ESMP will need to be put in place as part of the overall project 
implementation arrangements.  
Budgetary resources for implementing the ESMP (mitigation 
measures as well as capacity building/training) and M&E will be allocated as part of the 
project implementation arrangements.
 The implementing agency for component 3 will be 
responsible (through hiring of consultants) for monitoring compliance with the ESMP (as per 
monitoring indicators outlined in Table 11). The PIU will be responsible for ensuring that 
capacity building and training activities as outlined in Table 12 are carried out. The PIU�s 
M&E specialist will be responsible for aggregating information on compliance with ESMP 
(component 3) and capacity building/training. The M&E specialist will include this 
information as a separate section in the periodic progress reports that the PIU will submit to 
the World Bank.

 Environmental and social Screening Criteria 
 
Screening of Subprojects 
The objective of the screening criteria and procedures is to ensure review of individual sub-
projects to be financed under the ACAP in order to identify and address (minimize or eliminate) 
potential adverse environmental and social impacts. All subprojects under ACAP (Component 3) 
will be undertaken purely on a voluntary and demand basis, and implemented by the communities 
(farmers and residents) themselves. Subcomponent 3.2.4 could include some minor infrastructure 
rehabilitation such as: upgrading of reasonably intact terraces, construction of small flood 
protection structures, soil protection structures, facility for seed storage (provision of shelving in 
existing sheds), construction of water storage structures, establishment of model farm, etc.  
Subcomponent 3.2.5 of the project will promote agrobiodiversity based income generating 
activities which could include: construction of small nurseries/home-gardens with a preference 
for those using grey; water and other conservation methods (to produce plants, vegetables, fruits, 
aromatic and medicinal plants); planting, preparation and packaging of medicinal herbs (aromatic 
and spices); small home-based catering business specializing in traditional recipes; agro-
processing; beekeeping; planting of almond trees; and producing traditional ceramic ware for 
conservation purposes (to house seeds, etc.).  
 
Subprojects to be funded under the ACAP are not expected to be of environmental category (A) 
in nature or trigger the Bank�s involuntary resettlement policy. Additionally, environmental and 
social screening will be incorporated into the regular subproject development cycle that will 
identify any such projects, which will then be excluded from the community agrobiodiversity 
plans. 
 
Use of Screening Criteria for Subprojects
 
Due to the CDD nature of subcomponents under component 3, community based 
agrobiodiversity plans will be developed in consultation with the communities, building on their 
indigenous and traditional knowledge. Participating communities will be assisted in developing 
agrobiodiversity based coping plans, which will include proposals for the above-mentioned 
subprojects (subcomponent 3.2.4).  During the subproject identification stage (part of the 
agrobiodiversity based coping plans), MAI technical staff/consultants (or agency/partner 
responsible for implementation of component 3) will work with representatives at community 
level in order to identify potential projects for funding using the screening criteria. Once the 
subprojects are screened and satisfy all criteria, they will be approved for funding. Community 
sub-grants are not anticipated to be large, and are likely to be in the range of $5000-$10,000 (for 
rehabilitation activities) and about $3000 for income generating activities. Because activities 
carried out by ACAP will be relatively small and simple in nature, they are not expected to 
require formal EPA review and approval. The preventative actions and mitigation measures 
outlined in the ESMP should be used to address any potential adverse environmental and social 
impacts.

Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPM) 
 
Introduction 
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest 
management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices. IPM programs use current, 
comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment. 
This information, in combination with available pest control methods, is used to manage pest 
damage by the most economical means, and with the least possible hazard to people, property, 
and the environment. 
 
The IPM approach can be applied to both agricultural and non-agricultural settings, such as the 
home, garden, and workplace. IPM takes advantage of all appropriate pest management options 
including, but not limited to, the judicious use of pesticides. In contrast, 
organic
 food production 
applies many of the same concepts as IPM but limits the use of pesticides to those that are 
produced from natural sources, as opposed to synthetic chemicals. 
 
The Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPM) matrix outlines anticipated risks and mitigation 
measures for sub-projects that could trigger the Pest Management safeguard policy.  
 
Pest
 
Management Regulation
 
Pesticide Law was approved by the parliament in 1999 (Law 25, 1999) and consisted of seven 
chapters and 36 articles. Executive regulation 10, 2002 was issued by resolution of the Minister 
of Agriculture and Irrigation. A registration guide was prepared to facilitate enforcement. 
Penalties for violation of the law are clearly stated. The objectives of the law are to regulate the 
handling, registration and inspection of pesticides and to avoid adverse effects on human, animal, 
environment and economically beneficial insects. The competent authority for enforcing the law 
is the GDPP. This authority is committed to coordinate its work with Environment Protection 
Authority. The GDPP undertakes the necessary measures for control and inspection of any of the 
operations of handling of pesticides in a periodic or at sudden occasions.  According to Article 
22(1), The Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation proposed to the Minister of Justice the name of 
GDPP staff, who, after the issuance of special decree (293, 2000); enjoy the status of legal 
controllers competent with the implementation of the provisions of this law. 
 
Pesticide Use and its Impact on Health
 
Pesticides are toxic compounds. Pesticides differ in their toxicity. Some pesticides may cause 
acute allergy by contact of pesticides with skin. In case of wounds or cut on the skin, the 
pesticide may penetrate the skin and reach the blood circulation in the body.  Other pesticides are 
carcinogenic i.e. cancer causing and may lead to fatal consequences. Some pesticides are volatile 
and may through inhalation cause lung damage. It has been reported that pesticide toxicity may 
lead to sterility in male and deformation in of spring.

Guidance on Implementation of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) 
Integrated pest management is a decision-making process for the selection, implementation, and 
evaluation of pest management practices. Pests are organisms that compete with humans, 
domestic animals, or crops for nutritional resources.  They include species of insects, mites, 
nematodes, molluscs, plant pathogens, vertebrates and weeds. 
 
IPM utilizes all available methods to achieve the most economically and environmentally sound 
management program. IPM is the integration of available techniques to reduce pest populations 
and maintain them below the levels causing economic injury in a way that avoids harmful side 
effects. Specific pest management needs vary with the crop, cropping system, pest problems, 
pesticide use history, socio-economic conditions, and other factors. There are, however, well-
defined principles that guide the implementation of integrated pest management. Based on these 
principles, some guidelines are offered for the development and execution of IPM activities for 
community micro-projects. The implementers of the micro-projects should adopt these guidelines 
to the conditions found in their micro-projects.  IPM can decrease pest losses, lower pesticide 
use, and reduce overall operation costs, while increasing crop yield and stability.  
Implementation steps of IPM 
 
Step 1: Assess IPM needs and establish priorities 
�
Consider the relative importance of agriculture in the overall project; 
�
Consider the relative importance of target crops as a source of community livelihood; 
�
Review pesticide use history, trends and availability of IPM technology; 
�
Identify training needs for farmers and extension agents; and 
�
Respect and use local knowledge. 
 
Step 2: Identify key pests for each target crop 
�
Become familiar with key pests of target crops and the damage they cause; and 
�
Correctly identify the common pest. 
 
Step 3: Monitor the fields regularly 
�
I
inspect crops regularly to determine the level of pests and natural enemies; 
�
Solicit assistance of agricultural extension staff if necessary; and 
�
Determine when crop protection measures, perhaps including pesticides are necessary. 
 
Step 4:  Select appropriate blend of IPM tools 
�
Maximize the effectiveness of traditional and introduced non-chemical control 
techniques; 
�
Use pesticides only if no practical, effective and economic non-chemical control methods 
are available; 
�
Examples of Non-chemical Pest Management Techniques include; 
o
Maintaining good soil fertility and a diverse agro-ecosystem; 
o
Plant resistant crop varieties; 
o
Selecting proper plant varieties for location and season; 
o
Rotating crops; 
Page  105
105
o
Planting clean seed; 
o
Correct planting and harvest periods; 
o
Proper irrigation methods; 
o
Correct fertilizer and rates; 
o
Good crop sanitation; 
o
Hand picking of larger pests; 
o
Use of natural control agents (biological control); and 
o
Using attractants and repellents on selected pests. 
 
Step 5: Develop education, training, and demonstration programs for extension workers 
�
Conduct special training for extension workers, government officials and public. 
�
Conduct hands-
on
training of farmers in farmers� fields (as opposed to a classroom); 
�
Use the participatory "Farmers� Field School" approach; and

Fly; IPM on Potato Tuber Moth and IPM on Black Aphid on Nuts.  
�
The application of different traps for forecasting of pests
 
�
To make farmers capable to distinguish between natural enemies and pests.
 
Banned pesticides 
During the early eighties, synthetic parathyroid compounds were used to control pests in 
agriculture and public health. Also, the government started paying more attention to this matter in 
order to organize the commerce of pesticides and to solve problems created by the expanding use 
of pesticides. The first measures by the government against the misuse of pesticides, was to 
prohibit the sale and use of chlorinated hydrocarbon compounds. 
The abuse use of fertilizer has created several health and environmental problems. For example, 
the pollution of water and soil by nitrate compounds which are transformed in the body into 
nitrite, which make it toxic if ingested by humans and animals (more information in Annex VII)

Detailed Analysis of Data Collected and Interviews 
 
Introduction 
The Agro Biodiversity and Climate Adaptation Project is to be triggered to help support the 
Yemeni government overcome the climatic changes affecting the country specially the rural 
areas. The project constitute of four components of which one namely � Coping with Climate 
Change Impacts� with the objectives of introducing coping measures that can be categorized 
in: (i) measures of land use management like e.g. crop rotations with intercropping; (ii) 
measures to enhance soil fertility; (iii) all kinds of water management related coping measures 
like e.g. on farm hydrological approaches which cover tank construction and supplemental 
irrigation to measures on watershed scale like e.g. dam dimensioning and construction; (iv) 
Using the potential of local agro biodiversity like e.g. drought tolerant varieties; (v) terrace 
maintenance; (vi) erosion prevention; and last but not least (vii) societal coping measures with 
a
focus on women�s activities which cover a wide range of household and farming activities. 
The four components are linked together and the field study has addressed the interconnected 
issues between them. Issues such metrological information, water awareness, community 
management were also discussed during the public consultations. 
 
The objectives of the public consultation are: 
4.  To find out whether the communities are likely to accept the coping measures 
suggested by the Agro Biodiversity and Climate Adaptation Project. 
5.    To find out whether these measures have no or little environmental and social 
impacts on the communities and  
6.  To assess the present situation in these areas on how people are coping with the 
climate changes. 
 
The next paragraphs will provide an insight into these objectives 
 
Methodology 
The consultations of different stakeholders in the designated areas have been conducted 
according to the following methodology: 
1- Selection of the field team who should have previous experiences in public 
consultation and participation tools such as PRA involving at least one women 
member. 
2-  Conduct a one day workshop to the team highlighting the following: 
a. 
The background of the Agro Biodiversity and Climate Adaptation Project. 
b.  The tasks needed to executed 
c.  Discussions and finalization of the checklist  list to be referred to during the 
discussions with the beneficiaries 
d. Prepare 
the 
necessary forms 
3-  Prepare a list of the names and telephones of the heads of the agricultural offices in the 
eight districts to meet them and facilitate the meetings with beneficiaries and agree on 
the dates. 
4-  Prepare the different logistics needed for travelling and lodging in the field such as 
cars rental, hotel reservations, etc� 
5-  Interviews and discussions with stakeholders in the project areas have covered the 
following: 
o
Government institutions 
Page  119
119
o
NGOs and projects ( if available) 
o
Farmers 
�
Women farmers 
�
Men farmers 
6-  Conduct the field visits starting with Bani Matar
 at the governorate of Sana�a as a test 
site. 
7-  Discuss with the team at the end of the day the results and suggest any modifications 
to the mechanism of discussions, approaches, and shortcomings if any. Accordingly 
the necessary changes and modifications should be incorporated into the next field 
visits. 
8-  Continue the next visits for the other districts. 
9-  Compiling of data and information at the end of the day of each visit into reports so as 
not to miss any observation or comment. 
10- The team at the end of each day will meet for 2-3 hours to discuss the findings and to 
make sure that the results are in line with the activities and copping options of the 
Agro biodiversity and Climate Adaptation Project. 
 
Approach
 
The public consultation has covered four governorates and eight districts as listed in the 
following table:

The total numbers of people interviewed are 131 men and 34 women from all villages. 
Women were reluctant to give their names so we just listed them in total numbers. 
 
Findings
 
A
thorough review has been done on the different literature GEF produced (Lennartz, et al 
2009, and GEF, 2009) to gather the different links and threads regarding the coping options 
and the activities required for the climatic change adaptation. Several issues have been listed 
related to land, water, women, crops and existing adaptation mechanisms.  
 
Land Use Management 
The term covers measures of land use management that farmers are involved with such as soil 
fertility and soil moisture, usage and rehabilitation of terraces. 
 
Soil fertility:
farmers are adapted to use organic matter to fertilize the soil (all areas) which is 
produced by animals. In Taiz they are adding human wastes to the land. However due to the 
lack of rainfall which caused less pasture areas; shortages of animals have become a major 
issue to the communities. Farmers, therefore, have introduced chemical fertilizers as 
supplementary to the organic (all areas). They realized that continuation of the application of 
Page  120
120
chemical fertilizers for more than two consecutive years reduces the soils fertility which is 
have been observed due to the low crop production. In some areas such as Bilad Ar Roos and 
Ba�adan, farmers keep harvested crops roots and leaf on the soil to decompose. Farmers in As 
Sadah add silt to their farms which contains good organic matters. They also apply too much 
traditional organic fertilizers to the soil after maize cultivation to allow soil regains its 
fertility. Bani Matar also has the experience of adding ash to the soil to increase its fertility. 
 
The process of collecting and transporting organic matter is still inadequate and unhealthy. 
Women take an important part of this process either inside the stable where animals produce 
the organic matter, during transportation, preservation in halls and spreading on the filed. Men 
and children share parts of the activities.
 
Soil moisture: 
Traditional procedures are well used such as Tathmeen (Kamee) which is a 
process of tiling the wet clay soils before the cropping season (Bani Matar). Tilling and 
levelling the land would cover the voids resulting in preventing water evaporation form the 
soil (Bani Matar, Bilad Ar Roos) usually In clay soils only one rainfall would be enough for 
the crop during the season. In Ar Rujum farmers understand that adding traditional fertilizers 
help preserve the moisture in the soil while In Al-Mahweet farmers cover the soil with 
fertilizers to preserve the soil moisture. Other process of keeping the soil moisture preserved 
is by leaving roots and leafs of wheat and barley on the soil to decompose (Ba�adan). Farmers 
in Saber keep the water moisture in the soil by ploughing the soil in January and keep it intact 
until the start of the summer season which also has the effect of airing the soil and killing the 
insects. Tiling the land, adding fertilizers and rotate the crops enhances soil fertility and 
preservers soil moisture. 
 
Traditional practices require more technical guidance and extension services to optimize soil 
moisture content and utilize during dry periods. 
 
Terraces
:
most farmers in all areas use terraces due to the mountainous areas and high 
gradients. However, in recent periods farmers tended to abandoned these systems due to high 
costs of maintenance, low rainfall, and difficult terrains (all areas). Maintenance, however, 
occurs during the beginning of the cropping season (all areas) and only for those usually used. 
Such maintenance takes place on an individual basis where owners rehabilitate them by 
themselves or by hiring labour. Women do have substantial share of the rehabilitation. 
Terraces are heavily deteriorated are abandoned since farmers can not afford to cover the 
costs of maintenance such as in Saber. Terraces which are not utilized by the owners either 
put on sharing, lease, or kept unused. Animals are usually used in ploughing and tilling the 
soil in small narrow terraces, while machines are used in wider easy access ones (Saber).  
 
Water management 
Water Harvesting systems:
Highlands of Yemen are famous of water harvesting systems 
where people have adapted very beautifully to the different climatic changes occurred during 
the old times. We have inherited well sited, properly designed and constructed harvesting 
systems for the different purposes of drinking, household, cattle and irrigation. However, 
negligence of these systems in the past decades resulted in deterioration and misuse. Farmers 
felt the hardship due to lack of water for different purposes especially with the alarming 
falling of groundwater levels.  
 
Farmers in the different areas in need of harvesting systems with one or combination of one of 
the following: 
Page  121
121
�
Rehabilitation of existing systems 
�
Expansion and existing systems 
�
Build new systems 
 
The main purposes of the systems are for cattle, supplementary irrigation, and recharge of 
springs and collection of spring waters. Farmers are ready to provide land to build the new 
systems an assign it as endowment and mange collectively the systems according to agreed 
rules. 
 
The government and private sector constructed several systems in the highland, however 
proper management and administration is lacking which resulted in insufficient use of 
available water and social conflicts between the beneficiaries.  
 
Framers in Ar Rujum utilize spring water to irrigate peanut trees. In As Sadah farmers used 
the constructed dams to recharge the downstream springs. In Ba�adan houses are supplied 
through pipe network with waters from springs. Spring water is collected in cisterns and water 
spills over these collected tanks (cisterns) is used for supplementary irrigation according to 
agreed water rights. 
 
Increase awareness amongst farmers on water conservation of water resources such as 
common cisterns and dams in addition to the introduction of community management. 
 
Constructing water harvesting systems nearby farms as supplementary irrigation especially 
would be useful when rainfall comes late or stops before cropping season ends. 
 
Crop Management 
New crops:
Peanut trees planted in Bani Matar replacing Qat cultivation and s as an additional 
crop, similarly in Al-Mahweet and Saber which actually consumes less water and produces 
better income from the farmers. Seeds and harvested crops are preserved in barrels. Olive 
trees are introduced in Ba�adan as cash crop which takes less water. Local wheat and barley 
types are cultivated in most of the areas that withstand climatic changes; however research is 
needed to provide improved seeds for these types. Similarly, it is important to provide farmers 
with crops that withstand dry spells and produce better income such as improved wheat olive 
trees and peanuts 
 
Seeds preservation:
in all areas, seeds are selected from the best harvest and preserved in 
barrels, steel tanks (Ba�adan), bags, or inside rooms (Huqab) as in Bani Matar or (Kiute) as in 
As Sadah. Huqab and Kiute are actually rooms divided by walls into sections; each section 
preserves a specific type of seeds and crop. 
 
Cropping seasons:
Cropping seasons timing did not change in all areas, however, farmers 
adapt themselves where they start planting when rain falls. There are two cropping seasons in 
all areas notably summer and winter seasons. Late rainfall results in abandoning agriculture in 
that season. In some seasons rain starts to fall on time and farmers starts cropping and 
suddenly during the season rain stops causing great crop loss to the farmers. Farmers try to 
cope with the noticeably unpredicted rainfall depending on their own knowledge and 
experience. Technical and awareness support are very much required by the farmers. Crop 
rotation and intercropping is practiced in most areas with the traditional types of crops 
farmers used to cultivate. 
 
Page  122
122
Metrological information and data
:
Farmers are not aware of such information and believe 
that such information would help them adapting to the climate changes. They understand very 
well that there are changes of temperatures in the year. They recently noticed that temperature 
rises during the summer period and fall during the winter period which was the same 
previously.  
 
Educate farmers and staff of related authorise in the different areas of the RALP about how to 
get these information, what do they mean and what to do with them is an important issue to 
enable them to set priorities and plans for adaptation during the whole season. 
 
Women 
Farm and house activities
:
In Most areas, women have suffered a lot due to lack of rain. She 
has to transport water for longer distances in addition to the increased load of taking care of 
animals, and field activities. She has to bring animal fodders, fetch water, cordwood for 
cooking and taking care of the family and fertilize the farms with animal products. During the 
presence of men, they share farm responsibilities 
�
if not more- while house activities lie 
completely on women. During the absence of men, she has to do all work in the farm. During 
dry seasons, women and girls travel longer distances to fetch water and collect cordwood.
 
Education:
high illiteracy exists amongst women and girls leave schools at an early age to 
help the family in the farm and in the house. Similarly to men, women lack awareness in 
water issues and have low educational capacity. 
 
Summary
 
It is clear that hardship is apparent in all areas with slightly different scales and levels. Low of 
rainfall puts families in the verge of collapse; some families have immigrated to nearby towns 
and cities leaving their farms and houses behind In order to sustain their lives and their 
children lives. Several villages and sub districts in A-Mahweet have immigrated to towns and 
cities. Frustration of farmers is clear in terms of the final production of the crop where farmers 
assume that good production will be sustained, but suddenly rains stops at the middle of the 
season causing great loss of the crop.  
 
Low rainfall and change of temperatures have been recently affecting cropping seasons, 
crops, water availability, animals and humans. Introduction of the project to these areas is 
vital, however, it should be included the following in its different components so that to 
maximize the benefits by the farmers: 
�
Awareness raising on water and agricultural  issues 
�
Building up the skills of the communities and the authorities staff in: 
o
Community mobilization 
o
Community management 
o

Land and water management techniques etc� 
 
Recently, in most areas farmers consider agriculture as a secondary source of income due to 
the unstable occurrence of rainfall, high costs of labour and low crops production. Initiation of 
Water supply and harvesting projects, provision of agricultural machines, introduction of 
crops and trees that consume less water and produce sufficient income, and improve 
traditional local practices could encourage farmers to settle in their lands.

Land Use Management
 
�
Organic matter (Dhabel) is used to enhance soil fertility and conserve soil moisture in 
the soil. 
�
Using ash as fertilizers 
�
Traditional processes are used to conserve the soil moisture. 
�
Usually farmers maintain their own terraces on individual basis.
 
Water Management
 
�
Old cisterns exist and usually use for cattle and require rehabilitation. 
�
There exist some small dams in the area but not used properly. 
�
Water channels for irrigation have water rights that everybody agrees with. 
�
Insufficient waters in the wells have resulted in social disputes. 
 
Crop management 
�
Peanut trees have been cultivated since 2004.  
�
Local wheat and barley are cultivated due to their less water requirements 
�
Crop production costs are high due to the immigration of labour from the area. 
�
Agricultural planting seasons did not change even though rainfall seasons have 
changed which results in abandoning agriculture in some seasons. 
�
In some seasons rain starts to fall on time and farmers starts cropping and suddenly 
during the season rain stops causing great crop loss to the farmers 
�
Seeds are preserved in barrels, bags, or inside rooms (Huqab). 
�
Specific crops such as tomatoes can be planted in the winter seasons under green 
houses

Remarks
 
�
The district is characterised with low rainfall 
�
The provision of agricultural machines would result in social disputes unless 
proper organizational entities have been developed and well trained in the skills of 
community participation 
�
Recently cattle owners from other districts reached the district and used it as 
pasture for their animal, however they have been prevented. 
�
There is no metrological information available. Farmers suggest that if such 
information is available, it would help them to adapt by getting better preparations 
for the climatic changes. 
�
Rehabilitation and increase the capacity of cistern and introduce new ones would 
reduce social conflicts and provide water for cattle and supplementary irrigation 
Page  132
132
especially for less water consumption crops. Lands can be provided to new 
systems and farmers are ready to make these lands as endowment. 
�
Increase awareness amongst farmers on water conservation and their rights in the 
utilization of water resources such as common cisterns and dams 
�
Establish community management groups and association involving local councils 
to manage these water resources which would be an asset to the social welfare of 
the communities. 
�
Water supply projects and wells used for irrigation would encourage farmers to 
settle in their villages and cultivate their lands. 
�
The framers have the desire to acquire agricultural machines if they are used 
equally and just between them. 
�
Cordwood usage has resulted in disappearance of trees. 
�
Due to the high production costs and low production income of agriculture, 
farmers are mainly dependant on jobs (civil and military) and skilled crafts they 
might do such as in the construction side. 
�
Emigration is apparent in the area where farmers leave to cities for other jobs.

Appendix V 
Description of Stakeholders and Beneficiaries 
 
Page  142
142
This section describes the stakeholders as has been outlined in the ACAP draft PAD 
documents (World Bank, December 2009). The stakeholders of the ACAP project areas 
include national and local institutions directly involved in the agriculture and livestock sector 
under the MAI in its governorates and district offices. Additionally, local councils, national or 
local associations and NGOs that are situated in the project areas. The beneficiaries 
themselves: men and women farmers and livestock owners, their families and the local 
populations. The ESIA team met with various representatives of most of these stakeholder 
and beneficiary groups to discuss environmental and social aspects of the project (see 
Appendices III and IV for the lists of stakeholders met and records of meetings respectively). 
The following are brief description of these relevant stakeholders that the 
ACAP will
 be 
involved with: 
 
Farmers and Livestock Owners
 
The intended beneficiaries of the 
ACAP 
are farmers and livestock owners whose productivity 
and economic well-being will be improved by the interventions of the project. They will see 
the direct benefits of the enhanced seed preservation, improved crop resistance varieties, 
establishments of WHS and flood protection structures, and income generation activities in 
addition to enhancement of soil management and water conservation. In addition to the 
farmers and livestock owners, their families (women and children), their neighbours and local 
communities should also benefit from the project in terms of improved living conditions and 
incomes and expanded economic opportunities. Women in rural areas, whom Yemeni cultural 
traditional have kept at a lower status and prevented from gaining control over important 
household resources, particularly stand to benefit from the project. More opportunities will 
provided to women to empower its situation and ease burden from her shoulder. There are 
educated and active women in many villages in the project areas whose roles in local 
development will be enhanced by the project. The ESIA team met with a number of farmers 
and livestock owners, villagers and other locals in the project areas visited in both formal and 
informal settings. Meetings with women were also conducted through environmental and 
social female experts. ACAP is mainly concentrated its activities to provide mechanisms, 
tools and coping measures to adapt to the climate change Yemen is facing. 
 
Civil society
 
The civil society stakeholders for the 
ACAP 
include associations, tribes and NGOs on the 
national and local levels. The principal associations that are relevant in the context of the 
project is the Agricultural Cooperative Union (ACU) and Yemen Women Association     
(YWA) in addition to YASAD, IDDEALES and Community Water Users Associations 
(WUAs) established i
n
the villages by Sana�a Basin Water Management Project (SBWMP), 
Groundwater Soil Conservation Project (GSCP) and Community Based Water Management 
Project (CWMP). Both the ACU and YWA aim to establish cooperatives and women's 
branches at district and village levels in order to participate in the project. The tribes 
constitute the traditional social organization of Yemen, the tribe being the primary social unit 
in Yemen's social structure. Tribal influence remains strong in spite of ongoing efforts to 
decentralize the governing system, to a large extent because the central government has 
always been weak outside the main urban areas. The tribes and the values that underpin them 
are of major importance to the success of the project. The CBOs, which include charitable 
associations, development associations, committees and groups, are considered NGOs. The 
charitable associations are the only traditional and grassroots CBOs found in Yemen; the 
development associations, committees and groups are all established as a result of outside 
Page  143
143
intervention in the form of development projects, and are typically organized around specific 
on-farm or off-farm productive activities. 
 
Local council representatives
 
At the district level, the Local council (LC) is the most important body in the decentralized 
structure. LCs is well organized and control crucial strategic resources. LCs should become 
important collaborators and partners for the project, so developing close alliances with LCs 
will be beneficial for the project. The LC representatives are elected from villages through 
general elections. LC representatives could well be of crucial importance for the success of 
the project. In their official capacity, LC representatives will likely have expectations for the 
project's impact at the local level. The ESIA team met with a number of MAI officials and 
several LC representatives in districts where the project will be implemented. The LC 
representatives should be trained and their capacities built in order to be involved positively 
the implementation of the ACAP. 
 
Private sector
 
The private sector stockholders for the ACAP include the firms and shops that cater to the 
needs of the agriculture and livestock sector, usually located at regional markets, which may 
cover one or more districts, at intermediate markets, which typically serve one or more uzlas, 
or at local markets in the villages. There are two general types of firms and shops in terms of 
the services they provide: agricultural inputs and veterinarian services for livestock. These 
stakeholders are not organized in any way. They clearly control strategic resources, including 
insecticides and veterinary supplies. They have influence with the Agricultural Offices, with 
sheikhs, with Local Council representatives and with local people. It is not clear what they 
expect of the project but it is important to align their services with the projects objectives. 
They do not stand to receive any direct benefits from the project and have few or no resources 
they might be willing to mobilize. The EIA team met with several representatives of the 
private sector in its field work. 
 
Public sector 
 
At the national level, the primary GOY stakeholder for the ACAP is the MAI and CAMA, 
which will serve as implementing agencies for the project. The MAI will liaise with its 
Agricultural Offices at the governorate and district levels. These entities are important to the 
success of the project in the roles they will play in its implementation. MAI's Agricultural 
Offices have major influence on all agricultural and livestock activities at the local level, but 
due to lack of resources, inefficiency, lack of trained staff, incorrect priorities and corruption, 
the influence is minimal. The ESIA team met with a number of MA1 officials at the 
governorate and district levels. They are well related to farmers in their areas of work and 
gained their confidence. Involving the agricultural staff in the coordination, monitoring and 
extension services with farmers will be an added value to the project with additional training 
and capacity building to them.
