Engineer Hassan Al-Attas, Assistant Supervisor General of the Saudi Program for the Development and Reconstruction of Yemen (SPDRY), met with UNDP Resident Representative for Yemen Zena Ali Ahmad and her accompanying party on Monday in Riyadh.
During the discussion, they talked about the several ways in which the two organizations may work together, with a particular emphasis on the current stage’s top goals.
The goal was to aid the Yemeni government and institutions in their pursuit of development and reconstruction projects for the people of Yemen, with the hope that these efforts would have the intended long-term effects.
The contributions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in helping to rebuild Yemen were recognized and thanked by Zena. She likewise lauded the Kingdom for its commitment to the UNDP’s efforts.
Notably, the SPDRY has launched 229 separate programs and initiatives to improve the quality of life in Yemen. The seven basic industries represented by these initiatives are: education, health care, water and energy supply, transportation, agriculture, and fishing.
In addition, SPDRY works to strengthen Yemen’s governmental institutions’ capacity and undertake development projects for the general populace.
