Thank you for participating in Yemen Nexus Conference!
Dear Participant,
Firstly, on behalf of the Conference
for Yemen Nexus Innitiative Leadership, I want to say a huge thank you for participating
in the 2025 Nexus Conference.
In the month May, Amman Jordan.
we've been overwhelmed and humbled by the outpouring of emotion,
solidarity and
commitments that have reached us via email, SMS and on social media. Earlier
this year there was a cloud of uncertainty over the Conference,
but all 200+ of
you who registered to attend in-person or online gave us a resounding response:
that coming together in troubled times is an act of resistance.
Organizing an event of this size
and ambition is a massive undertaking even in normal years, and we could not
have done it were it not for the commitment of our donors/partners, German
embassy in Sana’a, WELT Hunger Hilfe, ADO, YWNLN and UNWomen.
We also are
incredibly grateful for the support of our sponsors, the dedication and passion
of our speakers, workshop hosts and session chairs, and of course the ADO staff
working behind the scenes.
We're thankful for the local
leaders, some of whom crossed war zones to travel to Amman,
and who shared so
openly with us all their struggles and successes as they put everything on the
line to get aid and support to their communities.
We hope the conference was
personally and professionally enriching for you, and that you walked away with
a sense of hope and energy to continue working against the status quo. We've
heard that so many of you made new connections and friendships, and we hope
that these new networks can contribute to knowledge-exchange in Yemen and
global solidarity.
In this newsletter you can find
links to session recordings,
Conference photos, and a copy of documents. We
also encourage you to complete the Nexus Conference evaluation
survey, to help us shape the future of the Nexus events. And finally, please
stay in touch, and take care.
In solidarity,
Nexus chairwoman
