Abstract
The Joint Social and Economic Assessment
(JSEA) has been prepared in response to a request from the
Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MoPIC)
in Yemen, and was undertaken jointly by the World Bank, the
United Nations, the European Union, and the Islamic
Development Bank. The JSEA's main purpose is to assess
the social and economic impact of the crisis in Yemen, and
to identify challenges and key priorities for early
interventions, primarily for the transition period, which is
expected to stretch into the first half of 2014. There is no
doubt that uncertainties and risks around the transition
remain and these will need to be managed and mitigated. To
reduce the risk of strategic failure it will be useful to
formulate a succession of transition points marked by
consultative conferences, etc. while building coalitions and
offering a narrative of change and trust. The process will
need to deliver rapid and tangible results and focus on
prioritization, appropriate sequencing, and creating broad
ownership through a transitional compact.
