Show Notes

Yemen is the world’s worst humanitarian and development crisis. The United Nations Development Programme’s (UNDP) recent report “Assessing the Impact of War in Yemen: Pathways for Recovery” projects that, should the conflict continue through 2030, 1.3 million people will die as a result. On February 8, USIP and UNDP held a discussion on how this timely UNDP report can serve as a guide for Yemen and the international community as they work to bring an end to the conflict and create sustainable development strategies in Yemen.
