Supporting Good Governance in Yemen (SGGY)

Project Type: Research

Location: Yemen

Date: 2023-2024

Proximity providing research that contributed to the development of contextually sensitive programming as part of GIZ’s Supporting Good Governance in Yemen (SGGY) program. Through the production of a series of knowledge products, Proximity identified strategic recommendations to (1) develop evidence-based approaches for good local governance, (2) strengthen cooperation and coordination capacity amongst local authorities, and 3() enhance civil society’s capacities in the area of social accountability. Leveraging our access across Yemen, Proximity deployed researchers to speak with key informants from a range of local government institutions, private sector enterprises, and civil society organizations. Following the fieldwork for each knowledge product, we convened key stakeholders to discuss the findings and identify feasible ways forward.
