1. Overview of The Day After
The Day After (TDA) is an independent, Syrian-led civil society organization working to support a democratic transition in Syria. In August 2012, TDA completed work on a comprehensive approach to managing the challenges of a post-Assad transition in Syria. The Day After project brought together a group of Syrians representing a broad spectrum of the Syrian opposition, including representatives of the Syrian National Council, members of the Local Coordination Committees in Syria, and unaffiliated opposition figures from inside Syria and the diaspora, to participate in an independent transition-planning process.
The TDA report, “The Day After: Supporting a Democratic Transition in Syria,” provides a framework of principles, goals and recommendations for addressing challenges in six key fields: rule of law; transitional justice; security sector reform; constitutional design; electoral system design; and post-conflict social and economic reconstruction. TDA has since shifted its focus from transition planning to implementation of the report’s recommendations.
2. Background
The HLP Rights Monitoring project establishes a community-rooted monitoring mechanism across six Syrian governorates to generate timely and reliable evidence on housing, land and property (HLP) risks, incidents and trends.
