As part of ongoing humanitarian efforts to improve shelter conditions for displaced households, and with generous support from the Yemen Humanitarian Fund (#YHF_Yemen), #YGUSSWP implemented the first phase of the Cash for Shelter Maintenance and Upgrade activity, targeting the remaining 237 displaced households out of the total target of 400 households in Kushar District, Hajjah Governorate. This follows the first group of 163 households, completing the targeting of all 400 households under this phase.
Each beneficiary household received USD 168, equivalent to YER
88,200, based on the exchange rate applied on the day of distribution. This
assistance enables households to carry out shelter maintenance and upgrading
works according to their needs and priorities, helping address deficiencies
that affect shelter safety and suitability.
The total cash assistance disbursed to the 237 households in this round
amounted to USD 39,816, equivalent to YER 20,903,400. The total
assistance allocated to each household is USD 240, distributed in two
installments. The current installment represents 70% of the total,
equivalent to USD 168, while the remaining 30%, equivalent to USD 72,
will be disbursed once the requirements for completing the shelter maintenance
works have been met in accordance with the approved procedures.
Through this intervention, YGUSSWP and YHF aim to help displaced
households improve their shelters and make them safer and more suitable for
their family members’ needs, thereby enhancing privacy and dignity and reducing
risks associated with inadequate shelter conditions.
This intervention is part of the project:
"Provision of Multi-Sectoral Life-Saving services Protection, FSAC, and Shelter to Protect the Most Vulnerable IDPs HHs from Negative Coping Mechanisms and Reduce Protection Risks in Kushar district."
