The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in partnership with the European Union and local civil society organizations, has wrapped up the Strengthening Institutional and Economic Resilience in Yemen (SIERY) project.
Launched in 2020, the initiative aimed to bolster local governance, improve public service delivery, and foster economic recovery in a country devastated by years of conflict.
In governorates such as Taiz, UNDP and its partner Generations Without Qat (GWQ) held final sessions with local authorities, civil society, and international organizations to review outcomes and chart future steps.
Yemen’s prolonged conflict has left millions displaced and weakened state institutions. By enhancing institutional resilience, the initiative helped prevent further deterioration of services and created space for conflict resolution, disaster management, and economic resilience.
