About the Yemeni Institute of Directors (YIoD)
The Yemeni Institute of Directors is considered a unique experiment, adopted for the first time in Yemen through the Yemeni Business Club (YBC), which is the leading Yemeni organization supporting and advocating for the private sector and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) which is a member of the World Bank Group, advances economic development and improves the lives of people by encouraging the growth of the private sector in developing countries. YIoD targets members in the Board of Directors (BoD) and senior management in view of the vital role played by BoD in the growth and development of business corporations. We provide high-quality services through our cooperation with several official entities, such as the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Central Bank of Yemen, etc., and International Finance Corporation (IFC), which is the strategic partner of YIoD. IFC designed numerous training programs for YIoD and also provided highly qualified and practically experienced trainers and consultants on Corporate Governance topics. Therefore, the quality of programs and services presented by YIoD is identical to the best programs provided by similar institutes internationally and regionally.
