Yemen
The NICHE identification process in Yemen has resulted in the selection of three sectors: education, health and water and a number of cross-cutting themes (gender, labour market and good governance). On this page you can read more about the objectives and focus of NICHE in Yemen. You can also download an edited web version of the Programme Outline.
The identification process took place in two stages. In October 2009 a desk study of policy documents was conducted and the Netherlands’ Embassy, the Ministries concerned and a number of donors were consulted. This led to the selection of several focus sectors and priority areas and the drafting of the Programme Outline.
During a second mission to Yemen, in December 2009, the Programme Outline was finalised and potential requesting organizations were briefed.
Benchmarking
The needs analysis and discussions with stakeholders have resulted in the formulation of a set of objectives and outcomes of NICHE interventions. The identified NICHE projects will contribute to the realisation of these objectives.
At the same time the analysis has provided information that describes the present situation in the areas of intervention in terms of (education and training) capacity needs. This is the benchmark used to measure progress.
Three key-objectives
