Development Champions is a platform that brings together senior Yemeni leaders in the economy, social development, and policy to positively influence decision-making on Yemen’s economic recovery and development priorities.

Incubated in 2017 under the Rethinking Yemen’s Economy initiative, Development Champions has grown into a stand-alone platform convening policymakers, private sector representatives, development practitioners, civil society, and donors in sustained dialogue. It works to advance sound economic policy, promote sustainable development solutions, and build informed Yemeni consensus on the priorities and decisions shaping Yemen’s economic future.
