The Yemen Challenge

January's High Level Donor Meeting on Yemen in London reminded the
international community once more that we have to support this country
in need.

Yemen is in trouble. A worrying mix of security-related
and economic crises has the potential to destabilize the country. We
are now paying more attention to Yemen, because the Al Qaeda-inspired
failed airliner bombing in the United States on December 24 originated,
at least in part, there. But Yemen is also facing long-standing civil
unrest in the north and south, as well as an increasingly deteriorating
fiscal situation.

According to the UN refugee agency, 250,000
people have been uprooted since clashes in the country erupted in 2004,
with the number having doubled since last August. Many are struggling
to cope and depend on assistance from the government and NGOs. Even in
more peaceful times 60 percent of the people are affected by poverty.

The
challenges confronting the country call for action and immediate
support from the international community including the World Bank.

The
World Bank Group is committed to help fostering stability in Yemen.
With interest free loans through the International Development
Association (IDA) of about US$135 million per year, the Bank supports
20 active projects covering a broad range of sectors (education, water,
roads, flood protection, community-based activities, and health). IDA
also provides significant analytical and advisory services, and the
International Finance Corporation is active with five operations worth
$150 million.

But despite this substantial commitment, we need
to make sure that we provide the necessary help. Given the problems the
country is facing, we as donors might have to step up our efforts to
stabilize the country. The donor meeting was a good first step in our
effort to collectively support Yemen.
