Background/Context:
The center has been working in Syria since 2012, providing protection, health, economic recovery, and early childhood development programs in Idlib, Aleppo, Raqqa, Hasakah, and Deir ez-Zor, with new programs expanding to Hama, Damascus, and Homs. With a team of over 750 members, the committee has built strong trust and community relationships, ensuring effective access and service delivery. It plays a vital role in NGO and donor forums and coordination efforts in Syria, holding key positions and adapting to the evolving context.
With the new reality under the new government, until December 2024, the center deployed a team to Damascus to establish operations and participate in coordination structures for new areas in Syria — including parts of the NES, the nuclear weapons system, and other sites that were not previously accessible in southern and central Syria, while modifying operations to maximize coverage and efficiency.
