Project Summary

The Project for the Development of Historic Cities in Yemen (PDHCY) is a German-Yemeni Cooperation Project. It provides technical support to the Yemeni authorities to manage and develop two World Heritage Sites (Shibam and Zabid) in Yemen as well as several other historical cities in the country. Linking heritage conservation to direct economic and social development is the main concept for the project. PDHCY was co-financed by the German Government and the Social Fund for Development for Yemen to engage local communities in preserving their heritage assets and capitalize on them as tools for LED.
