Despite the challenging environment, IFC continues to engage in Yemen providing investment, advisory, and upstream support. Recognizing the critical role of the private sector in Yemen’s resilience and growth prospects, IFC focuses on three priority areas: (i) develop the energy sector by increasing private sector engagement in renewable energy generation, and supporting the country’s energy sector recovery, modernization, and reform, (ii)  enhance access to finance and bolster the performance of the Yemeni financial sector, and (iii) foster private sector resilience, competitiveness, and growth particularly in agribusiness, manufacturing and services, including health and education.
