RIYADH — The Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY) and UNESCO have signed a memorandum of understanding to strengthen the preservation of Yemeni cultural heritage and identify historical sites eligible for the UNESCO World Heritage List.Building on a successful partnership that includes the restoration of Seiyun Palace and support for basic education, this agreement provides technical assistance and institutional capacity-building across heritage, science, and culture.The program’s efforts encompass diverse initiatives, from digitizing ancient manuscripts at Al-Ahgaf Manuscripts Library in Tarim to supporting the socio-economic empowerment of women through traditional craft workshops in the Socotra Archipelago.Furthermore, the collaboration extends to preserving intangible heritage, such as the Mehri language, and fostering cultural exchange through joint musical and artistic events.With more than 268 projects across eight vital sectors, SDRPY continues to play a pivotal role in safeguarding Yemen’s cultural heritage while driving sustainable development and economic benefits for the Yemeni people.
