Sana’a - Saba:
Over the past year, the Government of Change and Construction has embodied remarkable determination, resolve, and capability in overcoming difficulties to achieve the objectives and ambitions outlined in its general program.
Contrary to expectations, this government—formed under extremely difficult and complex circumstances, at a time when the country faces a brutal U.S.-Israeli aggression and an economic war affecting all aspects of life—managed to achieve significant successes in meeting part of the Yemeni people’s aspirations for reforming state institutions and organizational structures, improving service delivery, and simplifying procedures for citizens.
Guided by the directives of the Leader of the Revolution, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, and the President of the Supreme Political Council, Field Marshal Mahdi al-Mashat, the government worked on enhancing resilience in the face of aggression and addressing its consequences; administrative development and institutional reform; economic, financial, and developmental policies; public services and infrastructure; domestic and foreign policy; and the promotion of justice and human rights.
Despite the extraordinary conditions of aggression and blockade, the Government of Change and Construction succeeded in establishing new features of institutional work in its first year, with tangible achievements in vital sectors that reflected a genuine will to overcome the imposed reality and reaffirm the state’s presence in serving its citizens.
The Yemeni News Agency (SABA) highlights in this report some of the ministries’ achievements since the formation of the government and the successes achieved in various fields.
Defense Ministry
The Ministry of Defense and Military Production has made significant qualitative achievements in developing Yemen’s defensive and offensive capabilities, as well as advancing all branches and formations of the armed forces—transforming them into a force difficult to defeat, capable of achieving major victories not only for Yemen but also for the pivotal causes of the Arab and Islamic nation, foremost among them the Palestinian cause.
The Armed Forces have successfully confronted the U.S.-Israeli aggression at all stages, asserting sovereignty over Yemen’s seas, which were once dominated by global hegemonic powers.
As part of the “Support Gaza” campaign, the Armed Forces achieved a strategic breakthrough as an advanced front of support, altering the battlefield dynamics by imposing military deterrence equations whose impact reached deep into the Israeli entity, disrupting and thwarting U.S. and Israeli schemes in Yemen and the region.
The Armed Forces implemented five stages of escalation in support of the Palestinian people and their valiant resistance in the Gaza Strip, carrying out near-daily qualitative operations since the start of Al-Aqsa Flood operation.
Regarding naval escalation against Israel, the first stage involved targeting Israeli vessels in the Red Sea. In the second stage, operations expanded to target vessels linked to Israel by ownership or destination. In January of this year, the third stage began, targeting Israeli-linked ships in the Indian Ocean.
On July 27, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced the start of the fourth stage of the naval blockade on Israel, which includes targeting all vessels belonging to any company dealing with Israeli ports—regardless of the company’s nationality and anywhere within the armed forces’ reach. They warned all companies to halt dealings with Israeli ports or face attacks on their ships, regardless of destination, anywhere accessible to Yemeni forces.
Since the start of Gaza support operations, the Armed Forces have carried out 1,703 operations, including missile strikes, drone attacks, and naval operations.
The Armed Forces have maintained the initiative and strategic deterrence capability, launching missiles and drones under all conditions, targeting sensitive and strategic sites deep within occupied Palestinian territories.
Despite the ongoing conflict, the Ministry of Defense has continued to develop defensive and offensive military capabilities—extending range, increasing precision , impact, and integrating advanced, modern technology.
The Armed Forces have also thwarted U.S. aggression on Yemen, ending the decades-long dominance of fleets and aircraft carriers over seas and oceans since World War II, and opening a new chapter in modern warfare marked by hypersonic missiles and unmanned aerial capabilities.
The Ministry has raised the readiness of ground forces, air defenses, drone forces, naval units, and coastal defenses to levels enabling them to carry out any mission necessary to protect Yemen’s sovereignty on land, sea, and air—while continuing to support the people of Gaza and all of Palestine.
In a short time, the Ministry of Defense has acquired the defensive and offensive capabilities—across strategic, tactical, training, and armament levels—that grant Yemen the privilege of making sovereign decisions free from foreign domination, dependency, or external tutelage, and defending Yemen’s sovereignty along with the nation’s core causes, foremost among them the Palestinian cause.
Ministry of Local Administration, Rural Development and Governance:
The Ministry of Local Administration, Rural Development and Governance plays a pivotal role in monitoring and supervising local authorities in the governorates and districts. Since the formation of the Government of Change and Development, however, the ministry has expanded its responsibilities, focusing on achieving local development, revitalizing rural areas, and coordinating official and community efforts to create a sustainable development renaissance in which all participate.
In this context, the ministry continues to establish and officially launch cooperative associations across various districts. So far, more than 153 multi-purpose cooperative associations have been formed and announced in 153 districts across several governorates, in addition to training the staff of these associations to enable them to carry out their developmental tasks efficiently and effectively.
The ministry has intensified efforts to train and qualify district directors so they can play an active leadership and guiding role within their districts, supporting the cooperative associations, assisting their leaders, and removing any obstacles they face. Over the past periods, the ministry has organized numerous training programs and activities for all district directors to familiarize them with the full scope of responsibilities entrusted to them in ensuring the success of the associations’ work, as well as in advancing economic empowerment projects and mobilizing community efforts to actively adopt more community initiative projects.
Alongside training programs, the ministry’s leadership has continued field visits to governorates and districts to provide support and assistance to local authority and community leaders, supervise efforts to establish and announce cooperative associations, link them with executive offices, and clarify the role of district directors in this regard.
One of the most important tasks assigned to multi-purpose cooperative associations is advancing development work and achieving self-sufficiency by motivating the community to produce and working to provide the requirements for developmental progress.
For example, the associations will implement lending projects for farmers, whether for solar energy systems or contract farming, as well as providing production inputs and markets for what citizens or associations produce, whether in agriculture or other sectors. This also includes other projects and activities that contribute to achieving sustainable development and reaching self-sufficiency.
However, the most prominent role of cooperatives lies in coordination with government agencies that fund projects with a positive impact on community development, as well as adopting projects financed through loans from various sources—a role that will earn them considerable trust as a vital link between the state and the community.
The ministry has intensified efforts to seize available opportunities, support and encourage community initiatives, reclaim and cultivate arable lands, address obstacles hindering progress, and enhance government–community integration to improve the economic situation and achieve a sustainable development revolution covering all Yemeni cities and rural areas.
It continues to support development work through integrated development policies and methodologies, following well-studied policies and plans to boost the economy. Among the most important are value chain management and reducing the import bill for products, which clearly define the roles of all governmental, community, and private sector partners, focusing on crops from input provision to marketing.
The ministry has implemented several notable projects, including activating cooperative work based on a development methodology in Dhamar Governorate, launching development activities in 20 districts of Ibb Governorate, and carrying out a malaria prevention and control project in Al-Hodeidah and Hajjah Governorates.
Projects have also included improving the local and international marketing of mangoes, enhancing the production and local marketing of tomatoes, and improving the production and marketing performance of fisheries along the Tihama coast.
In terms of institutional development, the ministry continues to organize training courses and workshops for ministry staff and all members of local authority bodies in the governorates and districts. It has also simplified procedures for service applicants at the ministry’s headquarters, strengthened oversight, enhanced transparency, and combated corruption.
The ministry is also working to strengthen the role of local authorities in supporting development activities and cooperative associations, activating district directors in this regard, and organizing training courses to enhance their capacities in planning, preparing development plans, and monitoring the implementation of agricultural crop value chains.
As part of its coordination role in emergencies, the ministry established an Emergency Operations Room to address the impact of floods and heavy rainfall, coordinating efforts between various concerned parties to take proactive measures to reduce damage, enhance rapid response, and provide relief and assistance to affected families.
In continuation of these efforts, it formed a containment and control team and operations room to combat acute watery diarrhea (cholera) in the capital, Sana’a, and several governorates, monitoring epidemiological developments and setting a timetable for the procedures to be implemented by each sector.
Since the formation of the Government of Change and Development, the Ministry of Local Administration, Rural Development and Governance has worked to monitor the implementation of the capital’s and governorates’ plans for the year 1446 AH, which included 927 projects—346 of which have been completed, while 297 are currently being implemented. These projects include community initiatives, institutional development, roads, social construction, support for development projects, and other projects.
In addition, through the Central Unit for Emergency Development Interventions, the ministry continues to support community initiative projects in various governorates by providing cement and diesel for the implementation of these projects, which have reached 3,670 initiatives. These cover multiple sectors, including roads, education, water, health, environment, agriculture, dams, and water barriers, among other service and development projects that help alleviate citizens’ suffering amid the ongoing aggression and blockade on Yemen.
With regard to rural development, the ministry evaluated the impact of projects providing education, health, and road services on communities in rural areas, as well as coordinated and facilitated the work of value chain officers for agricultural crops in the districts to develop value chain plans for the year 1447 AH.
The Value Chain Management Program is considered one of the most important strategic projects undertaken by the Government of Change and Construction in its efforts to reduce the import bill and achieve self-sufficiency. This program derives its importance from being linked to the fundamental pillars of the resistant economy, namely productive and industrial processes, along with the empowerment and improvement of living conditions for a broad segment of the population—both rural and urban—including farmers, marketers, traders, manufacturers, and others who benefit from the job opportunities it generates.
The ministry has raised awareness among local authorities about the importance of these projects to improve the conditions of rural residents and reduce unemployment and poverty, as well as assessed the current situation of rural districts and identified the competitive advantages of each district individually.
The launch of the Value Chain Management Program by the government comes as part of an ambitious national vision, given Yemen’s vast and promising potential that could achieve much for its people if the relevant authorities succeed in mobilizing latent capacities—both in the national economy and in local communities.
In line with this role, the ministry’s leadership pays great attention to activating the role of local authorities in stimulating community participation, focusing on economic , social aspects, mobilizing the capabilities, energies, and potential of society with the aim of achieving local and rural development.
In this context, the Ministry of Local Administration and Rural Development plays a pivotal role through its efforts to network and coordinate the work of various concerned government entities, local authority bodies, and the community, in addition to its vital role in mobilizing, encouraging, and organizing community efforts.
Finance Ministry :
Since the formation of the Government of Change and Construction, the Ministry of Finance has achieved successive accomplishments. As part of its plans within the government’s general program, the ministry has worked to find solutions to the problem of salary suspensions and to repay depositors—this being one of the most important directives of the Leader of the Revolution, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi—after the mercenary government failed to do so, despite the fact that the main cause of this problem was the relocation of the Central Bank to Aden and the control of oil and gas revenues by the countries of the coalition of aggression and their mercenaries.
Over a three-month period, the government, through the Ministry of Finance, analyzed all financial data of government agencies and institutions with the aim of developing a clear vision that would serve as a mechanism for disbursing as much of the salaries as possible within the limits of available revenues. This effort resulted in the Law on the Temporary Exceptional Mechanism to Support the State Employees’ Salary Bill and Resolve the Problem of Small Depositors, which was approved by the Cabinet and referred to the House of Representatives. The House of Representatives, in turn, passed the law after reviewing and discussing it through its specialized committees, and it was later issued by a decision of the President of the Supreme Political Council.
The Law on the Temporary Exceptional Mechanism constitutes interim solutions that do not exempt the coalition countries from their responsibility to pay all due salaries and provide compensation for damages. Monthly beneficiaries of the salary provision program under this law include 430 main and subsidiary units, representing 82% of all government units that receive their salaries from the general budget.
The number of government employees receiving their salaries under the exceptional mechanism law amounts to 300,000 male and female employees per month, benefiting 2,100,000 family members monthly. The number of payments issued—whether full or half salaries—reaches 300,000 per month, with a full monthly salary disbursed to every employee earning thirty thousand riyals or less, and these employees are exempt from income tax on salaries.
Quarterly (every three months), beneficiaries of the salary provision program from government units and their affiliates amount to 95 main and subsidiary units, representing 18% of all government units that receive salaries from the general budget. The number of government employees benefiting quarterly is 500,000, supporting 500,000 families, with the number of quarterly payments issued totaling 500,000.
Within a short period after the formation of the Government of Change and Construction, the Ministry of Finance succeeded in regularizing salary disbursements under the exceptional mechanism law during the first half of the current year.
Under the Small Depositors Settlement Program within the exceptional mechanism law—targeting depositors whose balances are 20 million riyals or less, the largest category among depositors—the number of beneficiaries who received their deposits from banks reached 180,000 depositors by the end of July, for the first time in ten years. The settlement process for the remaining depositors is ongoing, with God’s help.
In terms of promoting investment and protecting local products, the Ministry of Finance, in partnership with the Ministry of Economy, Industry, and Investment, completed amendments to the Investment Law and issued the new Investment Law, which reflects a comprehensive vision for establishing genuine partnerships with the private sector and driving development through incentives and privileges for investors in general. The Ministry of Finance, in partnership with the Ministry of Economy, Industry, and Investment, also issued a joint decision to protect and encourage local production.
Additionally, the Ministry of Finance launched the Tax Services Guide for beneficiaries, representing a qualitative leap in the development of services and the enhancement of tax compliance.

It also advanced financial, tax, and customs electronic systems, continued the rollout, dissemination, and implementation of electronic financial and accounting systems (covering financial, accounting, procurement, and project management), and invested in building the skills and capacities of leaders and staff in state institutions.
Regarding economic, financial, and developmental policies, the Ministry focused on developing sustainable domestic financial resources and seeking safe, non-inflationary local financing sources, based on a policy of expanding and diversifying resource streams rather than solely increasing revenue through higher fees. It also pursued a gradual transition toward e-government, developed databases and electronic systems, expanded network connectivity, and strengthened information protection and security to improve the efficiency of state institutions and agencies.
The Ministry also took the necessary measures to overcome the liquidity crisis of the national currency, worked on rolling out electronic collection systems for most public revenues, explored feasible alternatives to address the domestic public debt problem in the medium and long term, and completed procedures related to the law prohibiting usurious transactions.
Additionally, the Ministry developed land customs ports to maximize returns to the state treasury, enhanced and strengthened measures to combat customs smuggling and tax evasion, and improved the performance of revenue-generating authorities to ensure the lawful collection of all due revenues from taxpayers, while simplifying procedures and addressing tax arrears.
The Ministry also studied the status of special funds, streamlined their operational expenses, activated mechanisms for resource collection, and ensured effective oversight and transparency in their spending to maximize efficiency in revenue generation and allocation. This contributes to achieving their intended purposes, utilizing surplus funds, and transferring them to the state treasury. The Ministry is currently reviewing the status of all existing economic units and addressing their imbalances.
Civil Service & Administrative Development Ministry :
The Ministry of Civil Service and Administrative Development also accomplished qualitative projects and activities, including the completion of the merger and modernization process for public service units by preparing seven procedural and guidance manuals for the work of merger committees in the fields of administration, organization, finance and assets, human resources, technology, and legal affairs.

Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor:
The year 1446 AH witnessed remarkable development in the performance of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor, with efforts focused on supporting vulnerable groups and achieving social balance through humanitarian interventions and comprehensive development projects.
In this path, a set of achieved accomplishments stands out with economic, social, and humanitarian dimensions that reflect orientations toward more inclusive policies and justice in the distribution of support and services.
In the field of seasonal humanitarian interventions, the ministry, in cooperation with humanitarian and social partners, succeeded in transforming emergency response into sustainable support, targeting during the programs of Ramadan and the Eids of Fitr and Adha more than 104,000 beneficiaries across various governorates, at a cost exceeding 2.146 billion Yemeni Riyals, in addition to 1.342 million U.S. dollars.
These interventions do not only reflect seasonal responses but carry deep humanitarian implications amid increasing poverty levels, as these initiatives contribute to enhancing social cohesion and providing the minimum food and livelihood needs for the most vulnerable groups.
Moreover, more than 12,300 persons with disabilities benefited from education services through the Disabled Care and Rehabilitation Fund with a budget exceeding 623.8 million Yemeni Riyals.
This investment in education highlights the shift in societal perspective towards persons with disabilities, as care is no longer limited to relief aspects but is directed towards self-empowerment and capacity building as a means for effective social integration.
In the field of healthcare for vulnerable groups, the number of beneficiaries of health, treatment, and pharmaceutical services reached approximately 66,484 individuals, with costs exceeding 2.319 billion Yemeni riyals. The ministry plays a complementary role in bridging the healthcare gap for those who cannot access medical services, thereby reinforcing the principle of health equity.
To address the phenomenon of begging, 176 beggars were empowered with financial support amounting to 55 million and 207 thousand riyals. This step represents a qualitative shift in dealing with social phenomena, as the approach was not limited to mere pursuit, but included reintegrating individuals into the labor market and enabling them to live with dignity, within a multi-dimensional reform approach.
In the field of rehabilitation and training, about 1,325 individuals benefited from support for productive families, reflecting the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor’s shift toward developing the local and family economy. These initiatives contribute to empowering women and youth to become self-reliant and generate sustainable income, thus reducing dependency on traditional aid.
Regarding the economic empowerment of persons with disabilities, 344 individuals benefited from economic empowerment programs at a cost of 427 million and 608 thousand riyals. This indicates a strategic change in the ministry’s vision, where disability is no longer met with care alone, but individuals are seen as active contributors capable of production and participation in economic life.
Furthermore, 38 community projects were implemented at a cost exceeding 803 million and 460 thousand riyals, reflecting the ministry’s participatory and developmental approach that strengthens the role of local and cooperative associations, thereby consolidating the concept of community empowerment as a key element in poverty alleviation.
In the area of social security, about 1.5 million families benefited from social security programs and cash assistance totaling 66 billion riyals. This figure represents one of the largest interventions by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor, underscoring the state’s commitment to ensuring a social safety net for the most needy groups, and reflecting the scale of economic challenges that require systematic and continuous intervention.
The ministry achieved tangible progress in caring for the homeless by sheltering 217 residents at the Ihsan and Ra’fa centers, in addition to equipping and furnishing the Ihsan Hospital, aiming to shift care from scattered individual efforts to organized institutional care.
Within the framework of urgent relief for disaster and flood victims during the year 1446 AH, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor, in cooperation with the Supreme Council for Humanitarian Affairs (formerly), successfully mobilized resources and advocated with humanitarian partners from national and international civil society organizations, resulting in financial support exceeding 5 billion 889 million 544 thousand riyals.
The achievements made by the ministry are a direct translation of the directives of the Leader of the Revolution, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badruddin Al-Houthi, and the Supreme Political Council, and embody the plans and programs of the Government of Change and Reconstruction, which places humans at the center of its priorities and seeks to alleviate the suffering of the most vulnerable groups while strengthening societal resilience in the face of various challenges. The ministry managed to implement a series of interventions and initiatives whose total value exceeded 72 billion riyals, benefiting millions of families across various governorates through social security programs, economic empowerment, healthcare, and education for various vulnerable groups, foremost among them persons with special needs, in addition to supporting victims of natural disasters such as floods and displacement.

In the area of adjudicating cases and judicial rulings of various types (criminal, civil, commercial, administrative, personal status), the ministry finalized over 60,030 judicial rulings in the Capital Secretariat and other governorates, out of 119,606 rulings issued during the year 1445 AH and prior periods, as well as part of the past year 1446 AH, which had remained unprocessed, unprinted, and unarchived. These rulings had not yet been transferred to the prosecution offices, execution departments for enforcement, or the Supreme Court for cases involving appeals. The Ministry of Justice and Human Rights is currently following up on the completion of the remaining rulings.
In terms of infrastructure, since the formation of the Change and Build Government, the Ministry has worked to provide infrastructure for courts and real estate documentation offices, supplying equipment and furnishings.

In the area of digital transformation for the ministry’s judicial electronic system and courts, a team was formed to assess the infrastructure and institutional capacity of the ministry’s information centers and judicial bodies. The team is actively conducting fieldwork to complete its tasks and submit evaluation results for the needs of an integrated electronic system that fulfills the goals of digital transformation, having made substantial progress in this regard.
The ministry upgraded and developed the infrastructure of the main information center by equipping it with modern network switches, protection cards, and a solar power system for the backup center, as well as solar energy systems linking surveillance cameras in the judicial police offices of eight courts. The ministry also completed linking all courts to the fingerprint system.
Furthermore, the ministry provided technical equipment to several courts and established network connections for the newly established Al-Manar Court, based on available resources.
The total cost of achievements in the digital transformation axis of the judicial system during the past eight months reached 22,102,000 Yemeni Riyals. These were distributed across seven areas, including supplying the main information center and courts with modern network switches, technical equipment, protection cards, and fingerprint linkage devices costing 4,946,403 Riyals, installing an air conditioning system for the main data center costing 3,240,000 Riyals, equipping the backup data center with a solar power system worth 820,000 Riyals, and providing several judicial police offices with solar power systems, display screens, network switches, and networking equipment at a cost of 5,600,000 Riyals.

Ministry of Transport and Public Works:
The Ministry of Transport and Public Works has achieved significant accomplishments over the past year across the sectors of air, sea, and land transport, as well as public works and roads, despite the severe challenges imposed by the aggression on infrastructure.
Given the vital importance of the transport sector and the essential humanitarian and commercial services it provides directly affecting citizens' lives, the air transport sector witnessed notable development steps. Foremost among these was the completion of maintenance and rehabilitation works at Sana’a International Airport, including runways, passenger facilities, and upgrading air traffic control and navigation systems, alongside the introduction of advanced technologies to enhance operational efficiency and safety.
Despite repeated attacks on the airport by Israeli aggression targeting runways, terminals, and service facilities, the Ministry managed to rehabilitate the airport multiple times at a rapid pace, preventing disruption of its humanitarian and commercial services.
Currently, Sana’a International Airport provides air navigation services for United Nations aircraft and humanitarian organization flights operating in Yemen, fully complying with international standards issued by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
The airport’s aircraft maintenance center, affiliated with Yemenia Airways—the official national carrier—was also fully rehabilitated using exclusively Yemeni expertise, reducing maintenance costs and demonstrating the competence of national staff. Additionally, during the last Hajj season of 1446 AH, approximately 1,200 Yemeni pilgrims were transported through Sana’a International Airport until the recent Israeli attack on the airport halted the process by targeting the only Yemeni aircraft flying to the sole destination of Jordan.
Meanwhile, the Yemen Red Sea Ports Corporation has worked on developing and rehabilitating the ports of Al Hudaydah, Al Salif, and Ras Issa by introducing new handling equipment, expanding docks, upgrading existing devices, and improving maritime safety procedures.
Despite repeated targeting and attempts to disable Al Hodeidah port, the corporation managed to restore port operations and reopen its docks to commercial ships within just 24 hours of shelling, thanks to engineering and technical efforts that returned the facilities to service, thus thwarting the Israeli enemy’s plan to paralyze maritime navigation.
In land transport, projects were implemented to improve the regulation of public transport and strengthen oversight, alongside the activation of digital systems to simplify procedures and reduce paperwork.
The Land Transport Authority also launched an electronic toll collection project in cooperation with the Ministry of Finance, including the option to pay fees via mobile phones, marking a step toward full automation of services. Preparations are underway for a dry port project aimed at facilitating trade and customs activities and reducing the costs of exporting agricultural products, following global dry port practices.
As part of the Change and Build government program, the Ministry has begun implementing a comprehensive administrative integration and restructuring process for the various transport sectors to achieve institutional integration and enhance work efficiency.
This process included redistributing responsibilities among the ministry’s departments and affiliated bodies, unifying work systems, and adopting modern administrative methodologies based on strategic planning, efficient resource management, and transparency in performance.
The Ministry also launched training and qualification programs for its administrative and technical staff to improve their capabilities in using digital systems and ensure quality service delivery. These measures have established a more organized and sustainable work environment, guaranteeing the continuity of achievements and service development across all transport sectors.
Regarding the public works and roads sectors, the Ministry, through the Roads Maintenance Fund and the General Roads Corporation, implemented projects worth over twenty billion Yemeni riyals during 2024. These included maintenance of the national road network costing 12 billion riyals, along with numerous road excavation, expansion, and rehabilitation projects, as well as the reconstruction of several bridges destroyed by the aggression coalition, especially on main routes linking the governorates.
Maintenance efforts focused on key routes connecting the capital to other governorates, such as Sana’a–Al Hudaydah, Sana’a–Taiz, and Sana’a–Amran–Sa’ada. The Ministry, through the fund and corporation, is also working on rehabilitating Sana’a Airport and Al Hudaydah Port after they were targeted by Israeli aggression.
Additionally, the Ministry’s Rural Roads Unit is executing several rural road projects funded by external sources, with a budget exceeding ten million US dollars.
To reduce the financial burdens resulting from the suspension of road projects stalled due to the aggression on Yemen, the Ministry of Transport and Public Works is surveying these projects and preparing the necessary proposals to address them in coordination with the Supreme Tender Oversight Authority, the Ministry of Finance, and other concerned bodies. Among the notable achievements is also the completion of the final version of the Services Guide and the preparation for the operation of the electronic system for services provided by the ministry and its affiliated entities.
The ministry has also completed the preparation of the executive regulations for the Roads Law, which covers all aspects related to road projects in light of Law No. (1) of 1446 AH. The procedures for issuing these regulations via a republican decree are currently underway.
The ministry issued circulars to the public works offices in the capital and governorates to comply with the general plans and to coordinate public facilities within those plans. It also prepared proposals to amend some provisions of the executive regulations of the Building Law, especially those related to construction density and ratios, as well as activating the blacklist for contracting companies and institutions, which contributes to regulating construction works and ensuring compliance with legal controls that guarantee quality and safety.
To organize the tasks and operations of the public works offices in the governorates, the ministry prepared the organizational regulations defining the roles and responsibilities of these offices. The issuance procedures are currently being completed to provide a qualitative addition to their work and to overcome issues affecting their performance.
Additionally, the ministry played its role through the Roads Corporation and the Road Maintenance Fund in removing rockfalls and reopening roads damaged by floods and heavy rains in Al-Mahwit, Al-Hodeidah, Dhamar, and other affected governorates during the year 1446 AH.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates:
A year of diplomacy and achievements marked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates during the first year since the formation of the Government of Change and Reconstruction, witnessing intensive activity. This was a translation of the directives of the Leader of the Revolution and the government program, which affirmed that radical change does not conflict with building upon all that is positive and correct, addressing all negatives, and working to simplify all procedures for the citizen. Despite exceptional circumstances and limited financial resources, the ministry managed to achieve tangible accomplishments through an integrated strategy.
The ministry's leadership gave special attention to activating its diplomatic role to serve as a vital front complementing military efforts and supporting the political stance in any upcoming negotiations. It issued numerous official communications to the international community, represented by international and regional organizations and world countries, to affirm the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Yemen and to break the siege, while ensuring that the Presidency of the Republic, the Prime Minister's Office, and both the House of Representatives and the Shura Council remain constantly informed of all diplomatic steps so that communication with the international community is coordinated and unified.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs adopted clear and firm positions regarding regional issues, issuing official statements related to the Palestinian cause and the settlement expansion in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights. It condemned the policies of Arab and Islamic countries—especially those normalizing or seeking free normalization with the Zionist entity—which align with the stance of imperialist powers in America and Europe.
The ministry served as the diplomatic backup for the armed forces in supporting the military backing operations in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb for the brothers in the Gaza Strip, aiming to end the Zionist aggression and allow free entry of humanitarian, food, medical aid, and fuel supplies into Gaza.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates holds a strong position rejecting unilateral measures taken by the mercenary government.

The ministry worked to establish a new framework for the operation of international organizations to ensure transparency and effectiveness. After submitting a draft resolution on the governing rules for international organizations operating in Yemen, Cabinet Resolution No. (8) of 1446 AH was issued and circulated to all governmental and non-governmental international organizations.

To enhance coordination, all state institutions, including governorates, were involved in preparing organizational work plans for 2025, and an extensive three-day meeting was held with representatives of the organizations to discuss all common issues, obstacles, and approve recommendations for implementation.
The ministry also witnessed active movement to strengthen the relationship between expatriates and the homeland and involve them in the development process, through implementing a set of initiatives and tangible steps, including facilitating investment and enhancing contribution to the national economy, simplifying procedures in coordination with relevant authorities to ensure the flow of expatriate investments away from administrative bureaucracy, emphasizing urgent consideration of expatriate affairs according to the Expatriate Care Law No. 34 of 2002, and rapid resolution of issues related to their investments.
A virtual meeting via "Zoom" was held with a number of Yemeni investors, businessmen, and community representatives, in cooperation with the General Investment Authority, to introduce the advantages and incentives provided by the new Investment Law No. 3 of 2025.
A joint operations room was established by relevant authorities, operating 24/7 to receive expatriates' complaints, forward them, and update the website.
