- Security and justice

- Transitional justice
- Economic reform
At the conclusion of the workshop, which was attended by Reen! Yemen project officer Ahmed Ali Al-Badani, participants agreed on a set of political papers containing recommendations, practices, and sound proposals that would strengthen and establish a solid foundation for a local community vision that would ensure the construction of an inclusive and sustainable peace in the next transitional phase.
