Information Management Internship

The ongoing conflict in Yemen has caused significant disruptions to the supply chain and to the overall availability of services. In light of the reduced or even absent provision of public services, communities have adopted various coping strategies, including using alternate water and energy sources, relying on alternate service providers and community-based service delivery initiatives to address the shortfall.
Physical damage to infrastructure and the lack of functionality in one sector often spills over into other sectors with significant consequences on both the access to, and quality of services, that are often interrelated. For example, in some cities, the lack of functionality in the water sector is tied most directly to the lack of electricity rather than to physical damage to water infrastructure. As a result, wastewater continues to overflow into streets, which in turn has significant implications for the health and transport sectors. Similarly, the absence of electricity across many cities in Yemen is not solely tied to infrastructure damage of energy facilities but rather to the lack of fuel, amongst others due to severe transport limitations and access constraints. These cross-sectoral linkages demonstrate the need for an integrated, multi-sectoral approach that provides synergies and responds to the multi-faceted needs on the ground.UNOPS  is undertaking a multi-sectoral engagement aimed at restoring critical services mainly in energy, urban roads, WASH and municipal services in targeted cities in Yemen using an integrated approach.
Yemen Emergency Electricity Access Project- PHASE II  (YEEAP-II): The Yemen Emergency Electricity Access Project seeks to improve access to electricity in rural and peri-urban areas within the Republic of Yemen. The project is financed by the World Bank (grant from IDA), and implemented by UNOPS. As the need for targeted interventions to improve electricity access to rural and peri-urban households and critical services facilities continues to be huge, the Yemen Emergency Electricity Access Project-Phase II was approved. The four-year project will finance distributed solar solutions to provide urgently-needed access to electricity in Yemen
The Project has four components as follows:
