Local Knowledge, Dialogue, and Engagement for Change.
About us Programs

The Sana’a Center’s programs address the political, economic, social, and environmental challenges shaping Yemen’s future. Through a combination of research, dialogue, policy engagement, and strategic outreach, we connect local knowledge and lived experience with policy discussions and decision-making processes at the national, regional, and international levels.

Working with policymakers, civil society actors, women and youth leaders, tribal leaders, experts, and regional and international partners, our programs create spaces for collaboration, generate evidence-based solutions, and support more informed and inclusive approaches to peacebuilding, governance, and development.

Gender inclusion, youth participation, and the meaningful engagement of diverse communities are integrated across all of our programs and activities.

The Sana’a Center advances its work through four thematic portfolios:

  • Political Transformation and Inclusive Peace;
  • Economic Stabilization and Recovery;
  • Transitional Justice and Reconciliation; and
  • Environment, Climate, and Sustainable Resources.
