When operational needs shift, practical solutions matter. In Sana’a, Yemen, the ETC responded to a reduction in capacity at the UN Common Accommodation Facility (UNCAF) by repurposing a disused restaurant into a modest but functional meeting space.

The original ETC hub was no longer viable, prompting the team to make use of available infrastructure. The converted space now includes:

✅ Meeting area for UN agencies and humanitarian partners
✅ Workstations for UNDSS duty officers and ETC support staff
✅ Basic ICT setup to enable continued coordination
✅ Facilities managed by the ETC team

This adaptation helps maintain essential coordination functions under constrained conditions. It reflects the ETC’s commitment to supporting partners with practical, resource-conscious solutions.
