The two officials discussed the anticipated outcomes of the joint coordination framework between the Yemeni government and the United Nations. This framework aims to identify priority interventions based on urgent needs.

Humanitarian Response Programs Under Review

During their meeting, they reviewed the humanitarian response programs led by the United Nations and its affiliated organizations in Yemen.

This committee focuses on prioritizing interventions and transitioning from humanitarian aid to early recovery and sustainable development.
