Life mandate
Saif Alhaddi is a Yemeni political and human rights activist and an expert consultant who is known for his advocacy work in promoting democracy, good governance and human rights in Yemen. I've designed, led and engaged in numerous activities and researches to raise awareness on human rights, to fight corruption, to promote coexistence, to empower women, to protect children, and during the last three years I've been focusing on supporting the humanitarian response and peace building in Yemen.

Experience Snapshot:
My nine-years experience got sharper as I've worked in senior posts in the human rights and humanitarian sector with national and international organizations; I've worked for the Yemeni Observatory for Human Rights as their Head of Transparency and Anti-Corruption Unit. And then I worked for the Yemen Office of Transparency International as their Advocacy and Outreach Officer. And then I worked for Intersos as their Child Protection Consultant. Lately, I worked for Oxfam GB as their National Policy and Advocacy Officer in Yemen. Also, I'm a founder and a co-founder of a number of Yemeni youth initiatives and civil society organizations.

Life Big Turns:
Here are some of the life moments which I’m proud of:


 * The youngest member of the Secretariat of the Presidential Election Joint Supreme Commission: A commission was formed by the Yemeni Vice President to supervise and run the presidential election and campaigns nationwide in 2012.
 * The key actor and coordinator behind organizing the first MoD press conference ever in the Yemeni history.
 * The founder of Youth Debates Club: I formed this club in 2013 as a gathering for young anti-corruption activists and it was launched in 2014 but our activities stopped when we encountered severe dangers and threats in 2016 when the civil war escalated.
 * The founder of the Strategic Litigation Group: A group of lawyers was established in 2014 to support whistle blowers in anti-corruption cases.
 * The youngest and only Yemeni Anti-corruption expert in the Experts List of Transparency International Organization: This list includes anti-corruption experts worldwide and it was created by Transparency International Organization in 2014.
 * The initiator of a political dialogue to stop the war in 2015: I drafted a peace road map to reach a political agreement to stop the civil war in its early days and I succeeded in mobilizing a number of the Yemeni political parties to accept it and put it on their agenda, but I was forced to stop the process just few months after I started.
 * The founder of Anti-Corruption Working Group: I formed this group in 2016 to coordinate and implement projects to combat corruption in Yemen but I left this group due to severe threats.
 * The owner of the humanitarian online platform Relieftalk.net: I launched this website in 2017 to enrich the humanitarian content on the web but we had to temporary suspend its activity due to security reasons.
 * The founder of Azad Foundation for Childhood: Azad Foundation office is now closed in Sana’a as the authorities refused to renew our registration since January 2019.
 * The founder of One Click Campaign: I initiated this campaign in the Netherlands to advocate for peace and development in Yemen by mobilizing the Dutch community and government to stimulate peace in Yemen.
 * Beside all that, I’m a researcher and an advocacy trainer; I have contributed to national and international reports in good governance, human rights, and humanitarian fields. And I have trained more than 600 young people on advocacy skills and planning.
