The Social Fund
for Development (SFD) was established by Law
No. (10) of 1997. The SFD's major function
is to proactively contribute in implementing
the government's economic and social plans
by means of increasing access for
individuals, households, micro-enterprises,
communities, the poor and low-income groups
to employment, production and social
services. The SFD aims at providing with
development opportunities to the poor using
and promoting innovatively participatory
approaches in delivering basic economic and
social services.
The SFD has
become one of Yemen's main development
actors; it participates in the
implementation of the national poverty
reduction strategies and contributes in
achieving the national sector goals and the
Millennium Development Goals. The SFD does
not overlap with the policy, planning, or
implementation functions of the ministries,
and its scope of intervention is limited to
the national development plans and the
public investment programs. The SFD has
become an effective tool for the public
sector to reach the poor and the society's
vulnerable groups.
