RIYADH: The Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen concluded its participation in the 13th World Urban Forum in Baku after showcasing billions of dollars in projects aimed at rebuilding infrastructure, restoring services and supporting long-term stability in Yemen.
The forum, organized by UN-Habitat, brought together governments and development agencies focused on sustainable urban development and post-conflict recovery.
During the event, SDRPY held dialogue sessions, workshops and bilateral meetings, while also signing cooperation agreements aimed at strengthening international partnerships for Yemen’s urban recovery, according to a report by the Saudi Press Agency.
A centerpiece of the participation was a new agreement signed with UN-Habitat to launch the second phase of the Adequate Housing Project in Yemen.
The new phase will rehabilitate 760 housing units for low-income families in Aden, Taiz and Lahij, benefiting around 4,560 people. It will also train 220 unemployed youths in vocational skills and qualify about 50 government technical staff in housing rehabilitation and construction.
