The Studies and Economic Media Center\n(SEMC) has brought to a close a training workshop on advocacy and garnering\nsupport for the private sector advocacy team in Yemen. The workshop, which\ntargeted eight members of local pro-big business development committees in the\nprovinces of Aden, Taiz, Mareb and Hadramout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The function sought to build and\nbuttress the capacities of coalition members in terms of conducting advocacy campaigns and setting out\ntheir strategies in such a way as to address private sector issues with the aim\nof reviving the Yemeni economy and buttressing development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For his part, project coordinator\nMohammed Ghalib welcomed participants ,including businessmen and local development committee\nmembers championing the private sector that backs the economic reform team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The function ran for four days, with\nthe participants coming up with a\nstrategic plan for supporting the economic matrices fixated on multiple\npriority issues laid out by the economic\nreform team. Nashwan Al-Samiri, a media\nconsultant, and the trainer of the function, affirmed that the training is\nactually meant for an already functioning team who, in turn, would offer its\nexpertise to the advocacy groups in target provinces as conditions may allow. He indicated that participants have\nacquired the necessary skills to carry out advocacy campaigns, in addition to\ncoming up with a plan that can be further developed and implemented in a way that supports the approval of the\nmatrix at the province level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
” At the workshop, we have\nlearned oodles of skills and new techniques that will enable us to advocate for\njust issues related to the economic\nsector, which are of concern to decision-makers, and which contribute to\nstabilizing business activity, thus creating favorable business\nconditions,” said Yasser Maqtari, an economist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
” A stable and sustainable\neconomic activity would certainly cushion the effects of the war on the\neconomic situation and standards of living in society, given the crisis\ngripping the country,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another trainee Fuad Huwaish\nsaid:” I am glad to have taken part in this training course that meant a\nlot for me- I have learned a lot from\nit. Indeed, the skills gained would further boost participants’ capacities in a\nmanner that would enable them to support economic issues in the country in\ngeneral, and Taiz in particular,”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
