Changing Local Governance in YemenThe areas under control of the internationally recognised government
Local governance is changing in Yemen, with far-reaching effects on the way state institutions function, on central-local relations, and on service provision and citizens’ experiences of the state. Earlier Berghof research (Rogers 2020) highlighted the ways in which war and Houthi policy were re-drawing central-local relations and the functioning of local governance in the areas under Ansar Allah’s control. This paper complements that investigation by examining the changes under way in the areas under the control of the internationally recognised government.

Modellschulen FriedensbildungDokumentation zum Pilotprojekt
Kriege in vielen Weltregionen, Polarisierung, Hass und Hetze in der eigenen Gesellschaft und globale Krisen wie der Klimawandel und die Pandemie schüren massiv die Zukunftsängste von Kindern und Jugendlichen. Sie suchen nach Antworten, wie das Zusammenleben im Kleinen und Großen gelingen kann. Schulen leisten einen großen Beitrag, wenn sie ihren Schüler*innen Lern- und Erfahrungsräume bieten, in denen sie kreative und lösungsorientierte Antworten auf aktuelle Herausforderungen suchen können. Schüler*innen wollen die Möglichkeiten zum gewaltfreien, konstruktiven Umgang mit Konflikten, Hass und Gewalt kennen lernen sowie Ermutigung und Befähigung zu eigenem (Friedens-)Engagement erfahren.

On negotiating peace: A compilation of strategic frameworksBased on the perspectives of resistance and liberation movements
The strategic frameworks were developed in conjunction with our project "Negotiation Support for Resistance and Liberation Movements (RLMs)", where negotiation training and process support were offered to a number of RLMs around the world. It is designed to serve as a hands-on strategy-building guide for the RLMs and other negotiators and mediators, who are often overwhelmed with the amount of tasks that come with, as well as the complexity of the negotiation processes.

In order to adopt to a digitalised world, a planet facing ecocide through climate change and further global challenges, the Berghof Foundation as an organisation has to evolve as well. We are therefore expanding our activities beyond our established focal areas into six additional areas of strategic importance. How Berghof intends to go about it over the next four years is the subject of this document.

Climate Change and Conflict in Hadhramawt and Al Mahra
Based on interviews conducted in two Yemeni governorates hit hard by the effects of climate change, Helen Lackner identifies the key environmental issues facing the populations of Hadhramawt and Al Mahra today. The report shows how they are connected to conflict in the two governorates, and explores what local authorities, communities and international actors are doing and can do in the future to mitigate the impacts of climate change and better manage the conflicts that derive from it.
