This study brings together youth from diverse backgrounds in four major cities in Yemen to offer their perspectives on the challenges facing their country. They discuss the main grievances driving the current political protests and their ideas on possible transition options and priorities for reform. The youth perspectives are then reinforced with interviews with politicians, religious and tribal authorities, businessmen, youth and women leaders, and experts on Yemen. Finally, based on these discussions and interviews, the study concludes by providing 6 principles which the international community should use to help shape their detailed policy and program recommendations.
