Direct Dialogue with Donors in Amman

As part of its efforts to strengthen the participation of Yemeni national NGOs in humanitarian dialogue, the Yemen National NGOs Forum facilitated direct engagement between national NGO representatives and humanitarian donors through a roundtable held in Amman, Jordan.

The roundtable followed a three-day Humanitarian Diplomacy Training attended by 23 representatives of national and local organizations, linking capacity strengthening with an opportunity to apply learning in direct dialogue with donors.

The roundtable brought together representatives of the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), the European Union (EU), Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).

Discussions addressed key issues affecting humanitarian action, including financing, localization, partnership challenges, and the sustainability of nationally led humanitarian response.

The initiative reflects the Forum’s continued efforts to strengthen strategic dialogue between national NGOs and donors and to ensure that the priorities and operational experiences of national organizations contribute to humanitarian discussions.
