Despite the ongoing war in Yemen, and the devastating humanitarian consequences, there is still hope for recovery within a generation, the UN Development Programme (UNDP) said in a report published on Tuesday. 

The report outlines how ending the conflict, combined with inclusive policies, including greater investment in women, could lift Yemen out of poverty and put it back on the path to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

Auke Lootsma, UNDP Resident Representative in Yemen, was in New York and spoke to Dianne Penn ahead of the launch.
