Marketing and Promotion: By holding an exhibition for marketing and promoting products in the city of Ma’rib, which was opened on November 27, 2023, in coordination with the Office of Industry and Trade in Ma’rib Governorate. The opening was attended by government officials and the media, and large numbers of citizens visited it and achieved acceptable success.
Monitoring and evaluation: This stage took place in conjunction with the previous stages, as a monitoring and evaluation team was formed, which carried out its work during the program implementation period. It also made one field visit to the homes of displaced women to learn about their activities and solve the problems they face. The field visit lasted three days from 16 to 18 December, during which displaced women were visited, with the exception of a group residing in displacement camps in Wadi Ubaida due to emergency security risks.
The team felt very satisfied with the productive activity and good morale among the displaced families they visited, and the team saw many wonderful products that were produced.
