Yemen
People's Peacemaking Perspectives
Summary
Inclusion of all Yemeni voices, including those of youth and women, must be an integral feature of all stages of the transition process in Yemen, not just an end goal. This is a key recommendation emerging from Saferworld consultations with Yemeni youth to capture their views on long-term peacebuilding in the country. The findings are summarised in this briefing which also recommends stronger, better co-ordinated and more transparent international engagement to end violence and secure a rapid and peaceful transition.
The briefing, which draws on consultations with young Yemeni men and women from diverse backgrounds in four major cities, is part of Saferworld’s EU-funded ‘People’s Peacemaking Perspectives’ project, a joint initiative implemented by Conciliation Resources and Saferworld and financed under the European Commission's Instrument for Stability. The project provides European Union institutions with analysis and recommendations based on the opinions and experiences of local people in a range of countries and regions affected by fragility and violent conflict.
