UNDP Sub-Regional Facility (Syria-related crisis)

Amman Jordan

NGO / Public Service

In the absence of a viable political process to bring the conflict in Syria to an end, the magnitude and the protracted nature of the crisis requires a sub-regional development response. The humanitarian relief with its refugee focus continues to be necessary but is not sufficient in the context of a protracted conflict. The scale and prolongation of the crisis have seriously compromised development gains in host countries, as evidenced by dramatic declining of human development and growth trends, and increasing levels of vulnerabilities at community and national systems levels. Complementing humanitarian efforts in the sub-region by bringing in a resilience-based development is imperative.
