Yemen Conference 2022

Background

Seven years of conflict and economic collapse have devastated the country and exhausted people's coping capacities. Meanwhile, unprecedented funding shortages have forced humanitarian organisations to cut lifesaving aid over recent weeks, including food, clean water, healthcare, and protection. In short, this means fewer people are receiving the help they need at a time when they need it most. 

The high-level pledging event for Yemen will represent a critical opportunity for the international community to demonstrate its continued commitment to the people of Yemen. Co-hosts• H.E. Mr. Ignazio Cassis, President of the Swiss Confederation, Switzerland • H.E. Ms. Ann Linde, Minister for Foreign Affairs • H.E. Mr. António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations • Mr. Martin Griffiths, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinaton
