"UNESCO strived to improve access to information for Yemeni youth through building capacities of young Yemeni journalists to produce content that ensures balanced coverage of the peacebuilding process. The produced content necessitated the development of an information platform to disseminate messages to the youth. In addition, the intervention supported youth-led peacebuilding initiatives through the “My Solution” activity, further promoting content creation for the youth and by the youth. In order for the Yemeni Youth to be able to express themselves freely and in a secure and welcoming environment, UNESCO and its partners worked around different platforms, either physical or online, to provide them with safe places to exchange. Whether through online surveys (Yemeni Youth Barometer), debates, community radio programmes, or through their participation in international platforms, Yemeni youth were given the opportunity to share among themselves but also with decision-makers their views and opinions."
