Strengthen systems linked to UHC
Description
The government of Yemen commits to strengthen systems that are linked to universal health coverage (UHC) by providing an essential service package (ESP) for better nutrition and enhancing the capacity of the agriculture, fisheries, education, health, industry, nutrition social policy, and water, sanitation and hygiene sectors at national and subnational levels to deliver nutrition actions in the UHC Plan.

• Establishing healthy school meal kitchens.
• Providing conditional cash incentives for families of female students.
