Sana'a - Saba:
A team from the Project Implementation Monitoring Committee in Sana'a Province, headed by the Governor’s Office Director, Saddam Al-Faseeh, inspected the progress of several community initiative projects in Al-Haymah Al-Kharijiyah District on Thursday.
The team included the Director of Community Initiatives in the province, Eng. Mohammed Al-Nazzari; Deputy Director of the Health Office, Dr. Mujahid Al-Rumaim; Eng. Abdulrahman Al-Murtadha; and Eng. Hossam Al-Mukhlafi, Supervisor and Evaluator at the Central Emergency Development Interventions Unit.
They reviewed the community-led initiative to survey and pave the Beit Al-Rumaim–Al-Hosn road in Bani Suleiman sub-district. The project is being implemented with community contributions, supported by the Central Emergency Development Interventions Unit and supervised by the Governorate Initiatives Department.
The project includes surveying and concrete paving of a 2.6-kilometer-long and 4-meter-wide road linking Beit Al-Rumaim with several villages in the district and Bani Suleiman sub-district.
The project’s total cost is 32 million Yemeni riyals, of which 12 million are funded by the Central Emergency Development Interventions Unit and 20 million contributed by the local community.
Al-Faseeh and Al-Nazzari affirmed that this initiative aligns with the directives of the Revolution Leader to activate community participation in development alongside the state, especially for projects that facilitate mobility and alleviate hardships caused by rugged terrain.
They praised the role of the Central Emergency Development Interventions Unit in supporting community initiatives across the governorate and commended the residents of the district for their awareness and active engagement in local development efforts.
Director of the district, Khaled Al-Arshi, and Head of the Beneficiaries’ Committee, Ahmed Al-Rumaim, noted that the project will benefit over 5,000 residents in Bani Suleiman and neighboring sub-districts.
They reported that 2,000 square meters of concrete work have been completed so far, and expressed appreciation for the local authority’s efforts to overcome challenges and provide necessary resources for essential infrastructure and service projects throughout the governorate.
The technical team also visited several community-built water harvesting tanks in the Bani Dahman area of Bani Suleiman, where residents have constructed 60 tanks through self-initiatives.
The team praised these grassroots projects as vital solutions for rainwater and floodwater collection to irrigate farmland and affirmed their commitment to supporting the completion of the tanks.
Additionally, the team, along with Dr. Mutahar Al-Marouni, Director of the Health and Environment Office in the Capital Secretariat, and Dr. Mohammed Al-Tuhaif, Director of Omrah Hospital, inspected the rehabilitation project of the September 26 Hospital Authority in Matnah. The project, funded by the World Health Organization, costs $215,000.
They were briefed by the hospital's President, Dr. Abdul Nasser Al-Dhary, on the ongoing work, who confirmed that implementation is proceeding according to technical specifications.
Dr. Al-Dhary emphasized that the project represents a significant step toward improving healthcare services for citizens, enhancing operational efficiency, and ensuring a safer environment for both patients and medical staff.
