Yemen has one of the highest rates of population growth in the world. Health indicators including those for reproductive health are among the poorest in the Arab world. Between 2004 and 2013, the Yemeni-German Reproductive Health Programme (YG-RHP) was implemented. The YG-RHP was aligned to the Yemeni National Reproductive Health Strategy and the National Strategy for Children and Youth, and its overarching objective read as follows: ‘The population is better protected against risks associated with pregnancy, childbirth and HIV/AIDS’.
The “Promising Practices” series presents development cooperation programs that have implemented elements of a human rights-based approach. The individual publications describe the measures implemented by the project, its impact and lessons learned.
