In a country of approximately 27 million people, over 10,000 have been killed, 3.1 million displaced, and thousands more are facing food insecurity and an unprecedented cholera outbreak. Violence and the humanitarian crisis now reach all Yemenis, diplomatic solutions remain at a stalemate, and social cohesion at the local level continues to disintegrate. Yet, despite these disheartening current realities, <strong>crucial entry points for peacebuilding remain<\/strong>. One of the only NGOs still working on the ground in Yemen, Search for Common Ground is continuing to implement programs to build local resilience to conflict and violence; combining peacebuilding efforts with life-saving humanitarian assistance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Shoqi Maktary <\/strong>is Search for Common Ground\u2019s Country Director in Yemen.
