WEBINAR: Community Reconciliation & Property Disputes in Taiz

Yemen’s path towards recovery has two main lanes: community reconciliation & the resolution of property disputes.

Through inclusive, local-led discussions, communities in Taiz have worked to evacuate looted homes, restore rights to displaced families, and rebuild social trust. These efforts are laying the groundwork for sustainable coexistence even before a national political settlement is reached.

Join experts from Yemen in exploring lessons from the Taiz experience. This seminar will examine the role of community-driven approaches in resolving conflict-related disputes and explore how these experiences can inform broader efforts to advance reconciliation, restorative justice, and sustainable peace across Yemen.
