    E.O. 12958: N/A

    SUBJECT: TAIZ: THE FORGOTTEN CITY

    ¶1.  This is an Action Request for Riyadh Foreign Commercial
    Office. Please see Para 4.

    ¶2. Summary: In a two day trip to the Taiz Governorate March
    3-4, CDA explored opportunities to expand the mission's
    relationship with Yemen's third largest city.  Deputy
    Governor AbdulMalik al-Hiagem sought vocational and technical
    training for education.  Business leaders echoed water
    complaints, while Civil Society representatives sought to
    expand USG interaction with their organizations.  Local
    council representatives expressed frustration with increasing
    poverty and neglect from central authorities and western
    embassies.  Taiz has the potential for tourism and commercial
    ventures, but business executives and government officials
    have to work harder to fully explore that potential.
    Possibilities should be explored for U.S.-Yemeni private
    sector partnerships.  End Summary.

    -------------------------------------------
    Deputy Governor Hopeful for USG Water Grant
    -------------------------------------------

    ¶3.  Deputy Governor Mohammed AbdulMalik al-Hiagem told CDA
    the Taiz governorate has a population of over 2 million and
    over 1,000 schools.  Noting that the Governor, who was called
    to Sanaa at the last minute, was pleased with U.S.
    cooperation on a water study, Hiagem underscored extreme
    water problems in Taiz.  Economically, Taiz depends on
    industry, agriculture, and fishing for revenue, although
    according to Hiagem they are now focusing on ways to expand
    tourism.  Despite the diverse economy, Taiz is still a poor
    governorate and the Deputy Governor asked for technical
    assistance to expand vocational education opportunities.
    Hiagem closed the meeting by noting that the first USAID
    project in Taiz began during the Kennedy Administration, and
    hoped that cooperation would resume.

    ----------------------------
    Business Community Dominated
    by Hayel Saeed Conglomerate
    ----------------------------

    ¶4.  Showki Hayel Saeed, a local council member, member of the
    Chamber of Commerce, and unofficial spokesman for the Hayel
    Saeed Group (HSG), said business is going well but
    opportunities existed for more American investment.  CDA
    raised the possibility of a catalogue show at the Chamber of
    Commerce to help local businessmen explore potential
    partnerships with U.S. firms.  The Chamber President, who
    said the Chamber is looking to invest in tourism promotion
    welcomed the suggestion of a catalogue show and promised to
    follow up with Post on implementing the idea.  Water issues
    predominate even in business life and officials noted the
    necessity to secure private sources of water and truck it in
    to maintain business operations.  Saeed also noted plans to
    make Taiz the cultural capital of Yemen.  Post requests
    assistance from the Riyadh Foreign Commercial Office in
    arranging a catalogue show.  End Action Request.

    --------------------------------------------- -----
    Civil Society Active, But Seeking More Recognition
    --------------------------------------------- -----

    ¶5.  CDA hosted a reception with 40 civil society
    representatives from the Taiz area.  Azz al-Deed Saed
    al-Asbahi, General Director of the Human Rights Information
    Center, requested more visits from emboffs and noted that the
    Taiz civil society has remained strong since the 1960s when
    Taiz was the capital of the South.  Souad Ata al-Gedsi of the
    Women's Forum Research and Training Center called Taiz the
    "forgotten" city, and noted that since 1991 poverty has
    increased rapidly while the middle class has shrunk.  The
    majority of the 1.2 million Yemeni guest workers deported
    from Gulf countries during the 1991 Gulf War were from the
    Taiz area.  Since their return, she said, the area has never
    been the same.  Executive Director of the Alaweal Company for
    Microfinance which is under the auspices of the United
    Nations Development Program, Anisa al-Bahar, told CDA that
    her organization has provided over 100,000 loans and boasts a
    96.7 percent repayment rate.  Loans to women, she said, range
    between 6,000 and 15,000 Riyals (32-80 USD).  Bahar said much
    more needs to be done, however, especially in expanding the
    program to reach women in rural areas.

    --------------
    Local Councils
    --------------

    ¶6.  CDA visited the Makbana local council, approximately 60
    km southwest of Taiz.  The rural district has roughly 100,000
    people with each of the 23 members representing 3,500 - 5,000
    residents.  Representatives complained of little control over
    resources, leaving them unable to manage but a few public
    services such as maintaining schools and roads.  Money for
    new projects, however, must be obligated by central
    authorities.  One representative noted that the council only
    received 1.5 million Riyals for yearly projects (roughly
    8,000 USD).  Several council members expressed the need for
    additional resources to carry out their newly drafted
    five-year plan for the area.

    -------------------------
    Taiz University President
    -------------------------

    ¶7.  During a visit with Taiz University President, Dr.
    Abdullah Mohammed al-Sofi, CDA and Dr. al-Sofi discussed
    undertakings and achievements of the university.  Dr. al-Sofi
    told CDA his university has about thirty thousand students,
    one-third of whom are women.  In 2005, the university will
    graduate its first class of medical students.  Shortcomings,
    however, include the lack of a placement office for
    graduates.  The university has developed relationships with
    local businesses for some placements, but public and private
    partnerships could be greater.  CDA noted his satisfaction
    with the university's achievements and noted his desire to
    increase visits to the institution by emboffs to hold
    academic forums, to discuss current issues of common interest
    to the US and Yemen and to encourage linkages between the
    university and universities in the US.

    Comment
    -------

    ¶8.  Nestled in the mountains, the former capital is mostly
    defined by the presence of the Hayel Saeed Corporation and
    its severe water shortages.  Without the large business, Taiz
    would grow poorer, and the middle class even thinner than it
    is currently.  Taiz has the potential to be a mountain resort
    and a magnet for tourism.  Investment, both domestic and
    foreign, holds the key. Post will explore catalogue shows and
    marketing seminars with the local chamber of commerce to help
    push thinking in this direction. End comment.
