About Reference

Despite countless challenges, Yemeni youth have shown resilience and a deep commitment to contributing to the recovery and development of their country. To fully realize the potential of young people, concerted efforts from the government, local authorities, international organizations, local civil society, and the private sector are needed to address the aforementioned barriers, ensuring that youth play a central role in rebuilding a resilient and prosperous Yemen. To overcome the challenges of a broken education system, interventions must include the rehabilitation of educational infrastructure, implementation of accelerated learning programs, and enhancement of vocational training tailored to meet market demands and bridge the skills gap. This includes leveraging digital platforms to enable Yemeni youth to engage in remote learning and job opportunities. Key areas for investment include mentoring programs, vocational training, and entrepreneurship, encompassing business incubators, accelerators, and social innovation labs to empower young men and women to start their own ventures. By focusing on growth-potential sectors such as renewable energy, climate-smart agriculture, and information and communication technology (ICT), Yemeni youth can actively participate in reconstruction and contribute to development. Notably, civil society has grown stronger and more resilient throughout the war, with organizations continuing to provide a space for youth to advocate, discuss, and communicate their concerns with security and government authorities to address community needs, such as water and reopening roads.
