The Social Research and Development Center (SRDC) is an independent non-governmental and non-profit research and development organization. SRDC offers social science research services with most stringent and highest quality. SRDC obtained its registration certificate No. 536 from the Ministry of Social Affairs & Labor back in July 2011. However, the center started its actual operations in 2013 due to the extraordinary security situation the country saw in 2011 and early 2012.

SRDC aims to contribute to Yemen’s social and sustainable development, investigate and research political, social and economic problems and challenges facing the country at the moment together with helping strengthen local NGOs and raising awareness about the problems that needs immediate attention.

SRDC’s mission is to work with international and national organizations as well as local communities to resolve development challenges, build sound development models and contribute to the country’s overall sustainable development.
