Joodn Organization for Development and Peace (JODP) is a women-led, non-profit Yemeni organization, founded in 2023 under license number (23M) issued by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor in Yemen. The organization is driven by its vision and goals aimed at meeting emergency needs, supporting sustainable development, and promoting peace in Yemen. It works hand in hand with youth, women, the most vulnerable groups, and all relevant local and international actors in the fields of relief, early recovery, and sustainable development.
JODP operates across various sectors, including food security and livelihoods, water and environmental sanitation, health, nutrition, education, shelter, protection, and the empowerment of women, youth, displaced persons, and marginalized groups. The organization possesses extensive expertise in agriculture and economic empowerment, thanks to its specialized and qualified team comprising program specialists, agricultural consultants, and engineers dedicated to agricultural research.
JODP places significant emphasis on working with Yemeni women to enhance their role in leading agricultural development and achieving economic empowerment in Yemen. This is accomplished through a comprehensive package of programs that include training, qualification, and empowerment. Furthermore, the organization employs innovative, community-led methods to achieve tangible impact and genuine change. In doing so, it integrates climate-smart practices designed to enhance the adaptation of communities and address gender-specific needs, all while being responsive to the characteristics of Yemeni society and the current challenges within the local context.
