The Joint Steering Committee (JSC) was established in September 2013 and is co-chaired by the Prime Minister, the Special Adviser of the United Nations Secretary-General for Yemen (SASG) and the United Nations Resident Coordinator. The Prime Minister has delegated the chairmanship of the JSC to the Minister of Planning and International Cooperation and the SASG has delegated it to the Senior Officer of the Office of the SASG based in Yemen.

To ensure the full engagement of national actors, including Government and civil society, the Secretariat will also be expected to provide capacity building on topics relevant to peacebuilding to the national and local authorities, implementing partners and the people involved in the peacebuilding programme. The Secretariat serves as an interface between the strategic decision-making level bodies, the state institutions and the UN Agencies in the country and PBSO.
Under the guidance and supervision of the Peacebuilding Programme Officer, the Project Assistant provides support to office operations performing a variety of standard administrative processes ensuring high quality and accuracy of work. The Administrative Assistant promotes a client, quality and results-oriented approach.
