Sustainable Development in Yemen is Possible

Analysis of the Report:
Sustainable Development is Possible in Yemen

Yemen is country rich in beauty and culture, but one whose problems easily overwhelm its onlooker. The article, “Sustainable Development in Yemen is Possible,” written by Danya Greenfield and published January 14, 2010 by the Center for American Progress (a progressive DC based think tank), takes these surmounting issues and funnels them into perspective.

Greenfield assesses Yemen’s current situation in a brief and organized fashion that gets straight to the point and focuses on how the United States should interact with Yemen to ensure greater stability and progress. It is suggested that three sections be emphasized in terms of assistance and support, including local governance, anti-corruption efforts, and economic reform.

Media Women Forum (the nongovernmental organization I am working for) is commended by Greenfield as one organization that has taken initiative in the area of anti-corruption. If you would like to read the actual article for more details, please refer to the following link:
