Engaging peacebuilding civil society coalitions in Yemen

A total of 30 civil society activists from across Yemen came together in Aden for discussions centered around the UN-led peace process and linkages to Yemeni peacebuilding efforts on the ground. The participants represented two peace-focused civil society coalitions, the Civil Alliance for Peace and the Youth Support Group, which include dozens of member organizations and networks based in ten governorates across Yemen. The three-day consultative meeting was organized by the Office of the UN Special Envoy for Yemen (OSESGY) between February 10-12, 2024.

“I look around and see many new faces who have traveled a long way from Shabwa, Hadhramaut, Marib, Mahra, and Socotra to be here and participate. I am pleased to have had the opportunity to meet our colleagues from Aden here. I am also pleased that UN consultations are broadening their scope and making a genuine effort to reach voices that have not been heard before,” said a woman civil society leader from Shabwa during the meeting.
