<p>The UK is supporting Yemen through £6.6 million of funding from the Conflict, Stability
and Security Fund (CSSF) this year. This funding will support different programmes,
including bolstering the UN’s capacity to facilitate the peace process, working with
groups formally outside the formal peace process and establishing long-lasting conflict
resolution mechanisms in Yemeni communities.</p><p> </p><p>The UK will also continue
to elevate and champion women peacebuilders in Yemen and provide spaces for Yemeni
women to engage with the peace process and across the Tracks. We continue to support
UN Women through the Yemeni Women’s Pact for Peace and Security (Tawafaq). This Pact
is a powerful platform for Yemeni women leaders to forge strategic links, develop
effective coalitions, and raise awareness of women organisations.</p><p> </p><p>We
are also funding a Gender Advisor and Senior Inclusion Advisor within the UN Special
Envoy’s office to ensure the peace process is representative and inclusive. Through
CSSF, we support a grassroots Track 3 initiative on women, peace and security to ensure
local voices of Yemeni women are amplified in the peace process.</p>
