Overview

Nearly 14 years of conflict in Syria have left a profound impact on the country, resulting in widespread devastation, an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, and one of the largest displacement crises in modern history. More than half the country’s pre-conflict population (of almost 21 million) has been displaced, both internally and as refugees, mostly in neighboring countries.

Today, Syria stands at a critical crossroads. Recent political transition and subsequent developments present an opportunity for the country to progress towards stabilization, address its people’s needs, and initiate the reconstruction and recovery process.

However, the challenges ahead are substantial. A collective commitment and coordinated action are essential to implement a comprehensive support program that will help Syria restore vital infrastructure and services. This approach will lay the groundwork for a more resilient future for the people through sustainable recovery and long-term development.
