A recent study conducted by the Berghof Foundation examines the provision of essential services such as electricity, water, and sanitation in five Yemeni cities: Taiz City, Mukalla, Seiyun, Aden, and Al-Ghaydah. The research highlights the impact of ongoing conflict on local service systems, noting areas of resilience as well as the critical needs for restoring effective public services. The study emphasizes the importance of addressing security and governance issues that hinder service delivery, advocating for the establishment of a basic social contract between authorities and citizens. Additionally, it calls for a focus on long-term sustainability in public service investments rather than relying on temporary solutions.
