Planning for the Establishment of the National Center for Governmental Crisis Management in Yemen

Abstract

This study aims to develop a plan for establishing a national center dedicated to governmental crisis management in Yemen, thereby enhancing the government's efficiency in handling diverse crises. The center will provide a scientific basis for studying and analyzing factors leading to crises, and will work on developing effective strategies to confront them. It will also contribute to training human cadres, thereby enhancing their capabilities in efficient crisis management. The study adopted an analytical methodology, analyzing data related to past crises and current challenges. This approach helps in understanding the surrounding context and identifying risks and priorities. The study's importance is highlighted by analyzing the current state of crisis management in Yemen and identifying the actual needs for establishing an effective center. Furthermore, the center will enhance the exchange of knowledge and expertise between governmental institutions and civil society, contributing to building a comprehensive and systematic response to crises in the country and promoting stability and sustainable development. The study concluded that establishing the center can enhance the capacity for rapid and effective crisis response, and also provides a platform for coordinating efforts between governmental and community entities. The study recommended establishing a crisis management fund to be financed by government transaction revenues such as taxes and customs, as its returns contribute to achieving stability that fosters a suitable environment for investment. It also recommended benefiting from Yemeni experiences in crisis management across all state institutions, to enhance coordination between governmental and community entities to ensure an effective and rapid response.
