En Syrie, l’ampleur des destructions atteint des volumes faramineux et le nombre de sans-abris ne cesse de croître.

Depuis le début de la crise syrienne, la DDC a versé 13.4 millions CHF à l’organisation pour ses activités en Syrie. Et des experts suisses ont contribué à développer des standards de construction qui misent sur la réinstallation à long terme des populations déplacées.

IOM – Community-based Housing for Displaced Families in Syria
01.12.2015
- 31.08.2017
Most IDPs in Syrian government-held areas are “self-settled”, i.e. seek shelter through informal arrangements with host families or in ad-hoc local agreements. This causes problems with host communities. Public services get overstretched and livelihood competition increases. The project provides more viable housing for IDPs in government areas, while ensuring common access to public services and improved livelihood opportunities for IDPs and hosts, thus contributing to community resilience.

SYR OCHA Emergency Response Fund
01.09.2015
- 31.12.2016
Humanitarian needs in Syria have dramatically risen since the beginning of the crisis in 2011. Access to the 12 million persons in need of humanitarian assistance is a great challenge as almost 5 million are living in hard-to-reach areas. The Emergency Response Fund (ERF) for Syria based in Damascus is complementary to the Humanitarian Pooled Fund (HPF) based in Gaziantep (Turkey) and supports humanitarian interventions in a flexible and timely manner with a focus to deliver aid to hard-to-reach and besieged areas.
