1. Introduction

The Strengthening Institutional and Economic Resilience in Yemen (SIERY) project, implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), aims to improve the economic and social well-being of Yemeni citizens, especially the most vulnerable and poor. This project is of great strategic importance given the economic and social challenges facing Yemen due to the protracted crisis in the country.
One of the main components of the project focuses on strengthening the resilience of cities in the targeted governorates, by supporting local authorities to take actions in line with Sustainable Development Goal 11: “Sustainable Cities and Communities”. This component aims to improve the capacity of local authorities in urban planning and management to contribute to the sustainable development of Yemeni cities and improve the social and economic well-being of citizens.
In this context, Ghadaq Development Organization (GHFD) is a local women-led NGO founded in 2015 by a team of professionals committed to making a significant difference for those affected by poverty, conflict and the difficult circumstances of the country. GHFD has quickly become an influential organization in the field of development, focusing on sustainable strategies to address the challenges faced by vulnerable populations. Ghadaq Organization was contracted to support this initiative by establishing Urban Planning and Management Teams (UPMTs) in Marib and Taiz governorates and building their capacities on urban development and planning concepts. The implementation of this activity began with introductory workshops to familiarize local authorities in each city with the main activities and concepts related to this concept.
This initiative comes within the framework of the efforts of the United Nations Development Program within the SIERY project to support local authorities in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, by strengthening the institutional and administrative capacities of local authorities and enabling them to plan and manage effective urban management. Therefore, the success of this project will contribute significantly to improving the quality of life of Yemeni citizens and enhancing their resilience in the face of economic and social challenges.
Urban centers play a crucial role in the social and economic development of regions. However, many urban areas face challenges such as inadequate management, insufficient resources, and poor service delivery. This assessment aims to provide an in-depth analysis of urban centers, focusing on different aspects, including management, resources, planning, provision of basic services, demographics (including the number of internally displaced persons), and key economic sectors.
These Terms of Reference set out the requirements for consultancy services to conduct a comprehensive assessment of selected urban centres, focusing on their management, resources, planning, basic service delivery, demographics (including the number of internally displaced persons) and key economic sectors.
