RIYADH: The Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen’s “Decent Housing” project has benefited nearly 900 families by rehabilitating 650 housing units in Aden’s Al-Mualla and Khor Maksar districts.
A tripartite partnership between SDRPY, Alwaleed Philanthropies and the UN Human Settlements Program (UN-Habitat), the project has also contributed to building the capacity of workers in the housing, construction and building sectors, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Wednesday.
A ceremony was held at SDRPY’s Riyadh-based headquarters to celebrate the conclusion of the project, which aims to improve the living conditions of families in Yemen’s Aden governorate.
Alwaleed Philanthropies’ Secretary-General Princess Lamia bint Majed Al-Saud, Supervisor-General of the Program Mohammed bin Saeed Al-Jaber, and Minister of Public Works and Roads Salem Al-Abboudi attended the celebration.
Minister of Planning and International Cooperation Dr. Waed Badhib, UN-Habitat’s Chief of Staff Dr. Irfaan Ali, and Regional Representative Rania Headeya participated via video link.
The Decent Housing project, the first of its kind in the housing sector in Yemen, aims to provide suitable living conditions for Yemeni families. It also offers thousands of job opportunities and hundreds of training opportunities, deepening the impact of such projects that contribute to sustainable development.
SDRPY has implemented development projects and initiatives in essential and vital sectors, including education, health, water, energy, transportation, agriculture and fisheries, and the development and support of the Yemeni government’s capabilities, across 14 Yemeni governorates.
