RSD Foundation welcomed Patrick Simonnet, EU Ambassador to Yemen, and Jeannette Seppen, Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Yemen, during a visit to the Foundation's office aimed at learning more about its programs and activities, as well as discussing the outcomes of the "Improved Protection for Internally Displaced Persons in Al-Jawf and Marib" project, implemented with the support of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and jointly funded by the European Union and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Yemen.
During the visit, the Foundation presented its vision, mission, strategic objectives, and key programs, highlighting its work in human rights, protection, sustainable development, and capacity strengthening for local civil society organizations.
The project team also presented the project's key achievements and discussed the challenges encountered during field implementation in Al-Jawf and Marib. The meeting further addressed the human rights situation and the humanitarian challenges facing internally displaced persons, particularly in Al-Rayyan, Khab Al-Sha'af District, Al-Jawf Governorate, where displaced communities continue to face significant humanitarian needs and limited access to essential services.

"This visit provided an important opportunity to present the Foundation's experience in strengthening the protection of internally displaced people and building the capacities of local organizations, while highlighting the humanitarian and human rights challenges facing affected communities in Al-Jawf and Marib. It also contributed to fostering a deeper understanding of field realities and the urgent needs of displaced communities."
