On Monday, Minister of Youth and Sports, Nayef Saleh Al-Bakri, met with a delegation from the Humanitarian Development Organization, led by CEO Raed Ibrahim. The discussion focused on potential areas of collaboration, particularly in training, youth empowerment, and infrastructure projects.
During the meeting, which included ministry officials such as Deputy Ministers Mohsen Bibak and Dr. Munir Lam’a, as well as Director General of Media Shukri Hussein and Deputy CEO of the organization, Saqr Abdullah, Minister Al-Bakri emphasized the ministry’s commitment to fostering a partnership with the Humanitarian Development Organization. He highlighted the importance of collaborating on training programs and economic empowerment initiatives for youth, as well as infrastructure development. The minister praised the organization’s efforts in food security, agriculture, health, education, water, sanitation, and community support across Yemen. He acknowledged their role in combating poverty through a series of impactful projects in partnership with the Yemeni government and civil society organizations.
Al-Bakri addressed the significant interventions the organization could implement in youth and sports sectors, along with infrastructure projects. He noted the ministry’s challenges in executing many programs due to financial constraints affecting government sectors.
In response, CEO Raed Ibrahim expressed the organization’s readiness to launch several programs focused on training, rehabilitation, and economic empowerment for youth. He provided an overview of a project to construct and equip a university educational city in Lahij Governorate, which will feature four colleges, a technical institute, a secondary school, a mosque, service facilities, and sports fields. This initiative, funded by the State of Kuwait, aims to serve the governorates of Aden, Abyan, and Al-Dhale.
Both parties agreed to develop proposals for a memorandum of understanding that would outline the execution of joint programs.

The minister reiterated the ministry’s commitment to supporting sports in Aden, recognizing it as a historical hub for sports at both local and regional levels. He stressed the importance of local clubs participating in official competitions organized by general federations, viewing this as essential for improving their performance and continuing the legacy of Aden’s rich sports history.
This collaboration marks a significant step towards enhancing youth empowerment and sports development in Yemen, promising a brighter future for the nation’s youth.
