Yemeni Youth National Initiative

Yemeni Youth National Initiative

Based on Tamdeen Youth Foundation's strategy, which includes promotion of the socio-economic integration of youth in Yemen to contribute to the peacebuilding process and create conditions for long-term reconstruction and development, and after organizing a virtual meeting via Zoom, on Wednesday, 06/23/2021, with the U.S. Envoy to Yemen, Mr. Tim Lender King, with 14 Yemeni youth organizations, entitled "Youth and Peace... Challenges and Recommendations to Support their Role in Promoting Peacebuilding Efforts", TYF has designed the proposal of the Yemeni Youth National Initiative, believing that it and its partners are able to do what others have been unable to do, as they are present and active in all Yemeni geography, through a multidimensional approach that does not exclude any group of youth and that works to achieve a comprehensive benefit.

Overall objective:
Promote the social, economic, and political integration of youth to improve the peace-building process and create conditions for long-term reconstruction and development, through localizing of UN Security Council Resolution No. 2250. via an integrated system that brings all efforts together, directs, and develops them to ensure the quality and efficiency of its outputs.
