Localising change: a roadmap for strengthening Yemeni civil society

Amid ongoing conflict, Yemeni civil society organisations (CSOs) have a vital role in promoting peace, good governance, and community resilience. This briefing explores the challenges they face, and offers actionable recommendations to strengthen their independence and impact. 

This briefing draws on research with 96 civil society organisations across seven governorates. It explores the barriers they face – including limited resources, security risks and fragmented partnerships – and offers practical recommendations for donors, international organisations and Yemeni authorities to strengthen their independence, sustainability and impact.
