Marta Colburn

Recently, I arranged a free class on development in Yemen for the students at YCMES to be taught by Marta Colburn, a woman who has a magnitude of experience across the board in issues of development. The class was more a discussion and the students really responded to Marta's humility, intelligence and humor.
I thought of summarizing all that was discussed, but there were so many topics and the conversation was often so sporadic that I thought it best to post Marta's notes on the following blog entry as they hold some very relevant and fascinating details about this country.
Topics included are as follows:
Development Actors
Demographics
Economic Issues
Governance
Water Crisis
Gender Equality
