November 21-22, 2018: The Political Dialogue Support Programme PDSP organized the monthly meeting for the Strategic Support Group SSG during the period 21-22 November. The meeting was devoted to discussing the latest developments at the local, regional and international levels as well as the political, economic and humanitarian situations in Yemen. The SSG members listened to a presentation on the current economic situation in the country and ways to overcome or reduce its consequences, prepared by one member of the group. Then, the members stood before the briefing statement of the Special Envoy for Yemen, Mr. Martin Griffiths, before the Security Council on November 16, as well as the British draft resolution on Yemen presented to the Security Council on 19 November 2018. In the second day, potential challenges and risks were discussed standing against the success of the political process and the new round of consultations / negotiations, likely to be held in early December this year. The members were then divided into small working groups to identify the most important challenges and risks. After reviewing them in a plenary session, the outputs of the two groups were integrated into a single product that reflected the vision of the Strategic Support Group on the most important challenges and risks that could be facing the upcoming consultations/ negotiations
