Rapid response mechanism (RRM) is an emergency response modality for delivering humanitarian aid to vulnerable people, including children, displaced by ongoing insecurity. RRM humanitarian aid provides within 48 to 72 hours of displacement. To respond to the immediate needs of the displaced persons, the UN established a rapid response mechanism (RRM) to provide Yemenis with emergency lifesaving packages.
UNFPA is leading the operation of the RRM project of three agencies i.e., UNFPA, UNICEF, and WFP to distribute immediate, most critical life-saving emergency supplies to families who are newly displaced, on the move, in hard-to-reach areas or stranded close to the front lines, as well as most vulnerable returnees. The RRM minimum assistance package is comprised of these components: (1) ready to eat food provided by WFP; (2) family basic hygiene kits provided by UNICEF; and (3) one female dignity/transit kit provided by UNFPA.
