A delegation from the Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY), headed by Assistant Supervisor General and Head of the Projects and Development Initiatives Sector Eng. Hassan Al-Attas, participated in the Arab Ministerial Forum on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development, held in Doha, Qatar.

The program’s participation included a dedicated session titled “Enhancing Urban Resilience in Yemen through Multi-Sectoral Partnerships,” which underscored the importance of coordinated action among the energy, water, and transportation sectors. The session highlighted the need to strengthen partnerships, expand community participation, rebuild the essential foundations of urban life, and enable cities to perform their economic and social roles in a manner that enhances community stability and supports recovery and growth. It also emphasized the pivotal role of culture and heritage in reinforcing urban identity and resilience.

In addition, SDRPY held several bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the forum to explore ways to enhance cooperation in support of development efforts in Yemen.
SDRPY has implemented 268 development projects and initiatives across eight vital sectors: education, health, water, energy, transportation, agriculture and fisheries, capacity-building for the Yemeni government, and development programs, benefiting various Yemeni governorates.
