December 2021: The Political Dialogue Support Programme organized the monthly meeting of the Strategic Support Group SSG during the period December 29-30, 2021. The first day was designated as an introduction to a training workshop on the general public policies of political parties. The second day was devoted to the process of evaluating the work of the SSG in 2021, and to draft the SSG’s work plan 2022. The aim of the meeting was to enhance the capabilities and skills of the SSG members in the field of public policies for political parties. So, the main objective was to hold a general discussion on partisan general policies and what the SSG members’ vision on this subject is, with the aim of enabling the trainer to measure the members’ level of knowledge and background on this subject. The main outcome was defining aspects and concepts related to building and developing general public policies of political parties and identifying the strengths and weaknesses that the SSG faced in the past year, as well as identifying opportunities and threats that can be exploited and trying to overcome, respectively, during the SSG’s work in 2022. The inclusion of additional members representing some political parties were added to participate in the first day of the meeting Ansar Allah, Yemeni Congregation for Reform Islah, Nasserist People’s Unionist Organization and Yemeni Socialist Party, who will also participate in the workshop in January 2022, first so that the benefit of the training on public policies is extended to a larger number of political party representatives, and secondly, through the new participants, the SSG will be promoted and marketed as a nucleus team that can represent a table for dialogue to convene on issues of concern of relevance to stopping the war and returning to the negotiating political process
