Additionally, the initiative plans to host sports competitions across multiple disciplines. A key focus will be raising community awareness about issues related to discrimination, violence, and hatred. The project will also procure and provide sports equipment and recreational materials for child-friendly spaces.

He highlighted the role of sports as a tool for community engagement and leadership development. Furthermore, he expressed the government’s commitment to facilitating the work of international organizations in Aden.

Objectives of the Workshop

Moussa Mouri, the Country Director for Help Code, clarified that the workshop aims to introduce the project, its goals, and its components. He outlined the roles of the ministry, local authorities, and community leaders, emphasizing the importance of community involvement. The workshop will also explore channels for inclusion and engagement, ensuring that all voices are heard in the process.

Conclusion
