Originally a noted journalist, Hafez Albukari began the Yemen Polling Center (YPC) in 2004 as a response to urgent need-gaps in social science research, polling, data analysis, and monitoring and evaluation services in Yemen. Albukari built a research center dedicated to excellence and reliability. Since then, YPC has proudly partnered with international organizations, private-sector clients, and other research institutions interested in further mapping and exploring the ever-changing socio-political landscape of Yemen.
Since 2011, YPC has operated without interruption in Yemen under fire in some of the country’s most volatile areas. After nearly fifteen years of success, Albukari is launching an international branch of YPC, Pathfinders Consultants.
As Yemen continues to face an unprecedented humanitarian disaster, YPC has been proud to support the work of international organizations and stakeholders seeking to design evidence-based intervention plans. The life-saving work of the UN Humanitarian Country Team, including the World Food Program and UNICEF, has been rooted in research designed and implemented by the YPC team. Pathfinder looks forward to continuing the human rights and humanitarian work of YPC.
Headquartered in Washington, DC, Pathfinders is proud to continue the work of its founding agency, YPC by conducting research that matters.
