Grande thanked the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, together with the World Bank, for having “stepped forward right at the start and provided urgent funding to the teams on the ground here in Yemen at the very beginning” of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Without that,” she said, “we would not have had a public health response.”
During the meeting, the SDRPY team focused on 4 areas of the strategic socio-economic framework for Yemen: (1) strengthening the capacity of fitness services to enable them not only to provide curative care, but also to take preventive measures of public fitness. Address existing pandemic and long-term fitness emergencies; (2) the creation of sustainable jobs; (3) effective participation of the personal sector in economic recovery; and (4) confirmation of the interdependence between the humanitarian and progression path and sustainable peace, known as the Humanitarian Nexus-Development-Peace.
