The meeting, attended by the World Bank Country Director for Yemen Dina Abu-Ghaida, the Yemen's Country Director of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) Tawfiq al-Zubairi and the First Secretary for Water, Food Security and Private Sector Development at the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Yemen Winnie van der Wal, highlighted the importance of ensuring the continued operation of the Social Fund for Development as a key national institution responsible for implementing social and development programs.

He stressed that the government should serve as the supervisory authority for any aid or grants provided across the country, ensuring that such assistance is delivered within its proper humanitarian and development framework.
"The Social Fund for Development represents a vital national pillar for social protection and local development," said al-Yafei.
"Preserving its role and institutional independence is a shared responsibility that will enable it to continue its interventions from the temporary capital, Aden, with nationwide coverage across all governorates, serving eligible families and vulnerable groups without discrimination," he added.
For their part, the international partners reaffirmed their commitment to continuing cooperation with the government of Yemen to support people and strengthen social protection and development programs.
