Recommendations for the EU's policy on Yemen: Report from the Sana'a policy roundtable

As a result of the current war in Yemen, the Political Development Forum identified the methodology of collecting the feedback on the recommendations on EU internal policy in Yemen1, which is in two ways, sending emails to those who are outside Yemen and conducting a round-table meeting in Yemen for key stakeholders, taking into consideration the wide-representation of political and societal components to ensure various perspectives.

Twelve relevant stakeholders have attended the meeting and they were so passionate discussing the recommendations, hence we have accomplished a successful meeting. For getting comprehensive feedback, we have sent emails; some participants were responsive, while a few of them were not. This report briefly documents the discussion of the stakeholders attended the round-table meeting as well as the responses we got from emails so that the EU could further take measures to ensure coordination of partners involved and to be inspired of which methodology should optimize the impact of policy recommendations.
