As enablers of what-works started in 2009 by assisting development and humanitarian projects with capacity building, technical support, moderation of dialogues and joint programming events, and participatory research designed to influence policies and programming at various levels. In response to the limitations in designing humanitarian and recovery in Yemen, we decided to focus our added value towards providing demonstrable models of what works in different sectors focusing on the empowerment of women and vulnerable groups as change agents. Similarly, our direct support to humanitarian and development projects is committed to enabling actors to understand the context, cope the key emerging challenges (i.e. implications of working in prolonged conflict areas, lack of experience in incorporating emerging types of local actors/ service providers, failure to meet basic humanitarian principles through remote management and limited capacities of local implementing partners).
