In an unprecedented initiative, UNDP has established the first Waste-to-Energy Plant in Yemen. The plant, which is in Lahj governorate, is a new approach to energy production that could revolutionize the governorate's way of addressing the waste challenge.

The Waste-to-Energy Plant project was established through a unique partnership between UNDP Yemen, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), the SDG Climate Facility Project, the Yemeni Private Sector (Sehab Tech), and the European Union (EU) as part of Supporting Resilient Livelihoods and Food Security in Yemen Joint Programme - ERRY II.
