Actes de la Table Ronde « Société civile, citoyenneté et pouvoir local », Sanaa, 1–3 juillet 2006
The multiplication of non-governmental associations at the end of the nineties in Yemen, accompanied by the Yemeni legislation (law of 2001) represents a major social phenomenon, in as much as it is contemporary with the growth of foreign aids directly granted to the NGO’s in a “participatory” way. It is also concomitant with a decentralization process initiated by the State and meant to reinforce the local authorities. This blossoming of new themes like development, human rights, women promotion and environment is but a continuation from a dynamic civil society which had distinguished itself during the 20th century by charity action, union and political militancy, cooperative development and a traditional society rich in solidarity mechanisms. What represents this new phase for the development of civil society and democracy in Yemen? This is the question which the Yemeni and foreign contributors try to answer in this book. It gathers the proceedings of the Conference “Civil Society, citizenship and local power” which had been organized in Sanaa in July 2006 by CEFAS and FES (One volume in French/English and one volume in Arabic).
