The FES wishes to prompt and enrich discussion of Yemen's post-war economy under the aspect of social justice. Since sustainable peace-building is only possible if Yemen's socio-economic development allows for equal opportunities and more just distribution of resources, particularly with regards to women and young Yemenis, FES strives together with political decision makers, experts, academia and non-governmental organizations to develop new ideas for Yemen’s post-war socio-economic development. Publications on socially-just economic policies written by experts approach economic topics relevant for reconstruction while addressing an audience in politics and economy.

Yemen’s economy is highly dependent on the income generated by oil revenues. However, society is becoming increasingly aware of the need for renewable energy generation and the importance of environmental policies to create a healthy and sustainable environment. The FES fosters this awareness and interest by offering workshops, debates with experts as well as papers and analysis in cooperation with the Foundations Regional Competence Center on Climate and Energy Justice in the MENA Region.
