Yemen faces weak coordination between local and national actors, limiting efforts to engage youth and women in decision-making processes. With the ongoing conflict, there is an urgent need for a deeper understanding of the challenges facing these groups and for identifying potential partners to strengthen collaboration and foster positive impacts.

As part of the Sharakat project, the activity "Assessment of Interventions" was conducted to collect accurate information on past interventions, explore the barriers to youth and women’s participation in decision-making, and identify potential partners. The activity employed a mix of research methods, including a review of available literature, qualitative interviews with key stakeholders, and electronic surveys targeting diverse participants.

The activity was carried out from February 1 to March 31, 2022, in the districts of Seera (Aden), Al-Mudhaffar (Taiz), and Al-Mukalla (Hadramout). Civil society organizations and local initiatives actively participated in the activity, contributing to the collection of accurate data and the preparation of a comprehensive report to guide future efforts in enhancing youth and women’s participation.
