Dependence on the oil sector as a source
of economic growth is no longer sustainable given the rate
at which oil reserves are being depleted. Yemen will come to
rely on other sectors of the economy, some of which have
potential but remain under-developed. The mineral sector is
one of these. The third five year plan for development and
poverty alleviation 2006-2010, identified the mineral sector
as one of the key sources of future growth for the country,
along with tourism and agriculture. This study was conducted
to assess the potential contribution of the mineral sector
to sustainable growth and poverty alleviation in Yemen and
to define the constraints that will need to be overcome if
this potential is to be realized. In so doing it helps to
define those areas of government action and donor support
that will need to be sustained over the medium to long term.
