They are contracted and their teams appointed on all the Foundation projects. The offices of the Governor of Hadramut and communities of the designated locales are actively engaged in the decision making, monitoring and post reconstruction processes, and post maintenance phases. Training Programmes are held with volunteers and young architects and students, during in situ activities.
