Yemen Discusses US$10 Million International Grant for Education

On 5 November, Yemen’s Ministry of Education met with the World Food Programme and the Global Partnership for Education to plan the use of a US$10 million education grant. The proposed allocation includes US$7 million for school feeding, US$2 million for solar-energy projects and US$1 million for girls’ education, training and capacity development. The programme is still being designed, with implementation preparations expected to continue before approval and rollout in 2027. The grant creates opportunities for education providers, school-meal suppliers, solar companies and training organisations. HPC can support education-sector research, programme planning, supplier assessments and institutional partnerships.
