SANA'A, Dec. 23 (Saba) - Yemen and the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) have discussed the possibility of providing solar energy to rural and semi-urban areas to help the implementation of agricultural projects by alternative energy sources.

The talks were made during a meeting on Tuesday gathered Secretary-General of the Supreme Council for Management and Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (SCMCHA) Abdul Mohsen Tawoos with Director of the Yemen Emergency Electricity Access Project (YEEAP) in rural and peri-urban areas at UNOPS Zeyad al-Jaberi.
