A comprehensive energy strategy must be set to shift the use from fuel-based machinery to solar based, especially in Eastern Yemen, where the land is less cultivated. Still, the water resources are not as stressed.

Altho' agriculture can potentially contribute to at least one-third of the GDP, and most of the population lives in rural areas, Yemen cultivates only 4% of its agricultural land due mainly to water and energy constraints.

The international community should change the narrative away from “saving starving Yemenis” to “empowering Yemenis”. Yemen has a youthful population, a strategic position at the centre of global supply chains, an innovative diaspora and world leading solar energy potential.

[Arabia Brain Trust @ABTYemen]

The International Community should invest humanitarian funding in providing impactful support to the 15% of Yemenis that need it the most, with a plan to hand over to development actors within three years.

YE needs to promote approaches that encourage integrated decentralisation as close as possible to the people affected by decisions, integrated into to a smart,
well governed national trust-less ecosystems that promotes mobility, sustainability,connectivity and equal opportunity

[Arabia Brain Trust @ABTYemen]

Yemeni authorities should shift the focus from restoring centralised, paper-based, fossil fuel based pre-war national level infrastructure to solutions at the local level.

#Yemen There is also a need to draw a strategic plan to achieve high level of food security by 2030, keeping
in mind that water security is an integral part of food security.

Arabia Brain Trust argues that there is sufficient evidence for a new approach towards economic development in Yemen, one that keeps the best interest of the Yemeni people, of all orientations and backgrounds, at heart.

Yemenis cannot afford to keep paying for a fossil fuel energy system. Yemen currently spends around $ 1.1 billion a year on fuel imports to generate around one gigawatt of power (current demand is 14 gigawatts).

At Arabia Brain Trust, Democratising Development refers to the cumulative responsive process of social change where economic progress is based on
local communities’ priorities.

The concept of democratised development is not new. The interconnectivity between democracy and development has been theorised since the nineties.
