Minister of Social Affairs and Labor Amat al-Razzaq Hummad met here on Tuesday with a delegation of the UK Department for International Development (DFID), headed by Claudia Fumo. During the meeting, they discussed an action plan for social protection and relief for the next six months as well as a plan of social welfare providers against fuel price reforms to be submitted to donors in coming meeting of the Friends of Yemen Group to be held next September.
Hummad indicated to the nature of the Social Welfare Fund's (SWF) work and its role in carrying out social protection programs for poor families. The SWF will conduct a new survey of poor cases, as the available database is based on a survey conducted five years ago, the Minister said.
She touched on the difficulties faced by the SWF, including the lack of funding, in spite of the government's commitment to provide social protection for the poor through the fund.
