Drought |
Yes |
Syria experiences a largely Mediterranean climate. Summers are usually very dry with high evaporation rates. In most parts of the country, summer temperatures tend to exceed 30°C. During the winter, temperatures are moderate to cold. Temperatures are influenced and moderated by proximity to the sea and elevation. The annual average temperature is 18.1°C on the coastal plain and 15.2°C in the mountains. The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) seasonal outlook for Syria indicates that a severe and long-term drought is affecting Syria. Water deficits have been exacerbated by unusual dry conditions during the wet season, but also by abnormally high air temperatures, which are forecast to continue into the July–September hot and dry season. The multi-year drought and the scarcity and high cost of water, food, and energy are mutually reinforcing and are underpinning Syria’s food security crisis. In 2021 -2022 a Severe drought is reported in many regions after successive months of failed rainfall. Water deficits have been exacerbated due to drier than average conditions in the 2020/21 and 2021/22 wet seasons, but also by increasing evaporative demand associated with above-normal air temperatures during the July-September hot and dry season.

Earthquakes |
Yes |
A 7.8 Richter magnitude earthquake hit Türkiye and Syria on 6 February 2023. Aftershocks followed and a second major earthquake of 7.5 Richter magnitude hit the region on the same day. The earthquakes that struck Türkiye and Syria caused one of the biggest disasters to impact the region in recent times. Tens of thousands of people have been killed and many more have been injured. Thousands of buildings have collapsed, leaving countless people exposed to unforgiving winter conditions. Schools and hospitals have been destroyed. The earthquakes struck as the humanitarian crisis in northwest Syria was already at the highest level since the conflict began, with 4.1 million people relying on humanitarian assistance to subsist.

Epidemics |
Yes |
COVID 19 The COVID-19 pandemic in Syria is part of the ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The disease was confirmed to have reached Syria on 22 March 2020, when the first case was confirmed of a person who came from abroad. Syria is considered especially vulnerable to the pandemic due to the ongoing civil war and dire humanitarian situation As per WHO dashboard In Syrian Arab Republic, from 3 January 2020 to 31 May 2023, there have been 57,423 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 3,163 deaths reported to WHO. 5,090,630 vaccine doses have been administered. Cholera Between 25 August and 15 February, 92,649 suspected cases have been reported from all 14 governorates, including 101 associated deaths to date at a case fatality rate of 0.11%. The most affected governorates to date are Idleb (27,863 cases, 30%), Aleppo (22,123 cases, 23.9%), Deir Ez-Zor (20,671 cases, 22.3%), and Raqqa (17,578 cases, 19%). The devastating earthquake had a significant impact on the cholera response operations. The earthquake affected access to services, reduced partner capacity, diverted already limited funds available, and affected negatively the mental health of the workforce. So far, a total of 171 ( 54 in Latakia, 48 in Hama, 14 in Aleppo, and 55 in NWS)– are reportedly damaged, including at least seven hospitals, with assessments ongoing. 15 health facilities had to suspend their operations, and 18 health facilities have reduced functionality due to earthquake damage Thousands of people are currently housed in overcrowded collective shelters, many without adequate access to sufficient safe water, sanitation, and hygiene measures. Temporary disruption of infectious disease surveillance systems and laboratory capacity across affected areas. The Risk of increase of waterborne diseases including Cholera is very high due to over-crowded settings, extensive damage to water and sanitation infrastructure, and damage and disruption to cholera treatment infrastructure.

Wildfires |

Between 8 and 12 October 2020, the eastern basin of the Mediterranean Sea has witnessed mass-destructive wildfires which are becoming a recurring annual event due to climate change. While possible causes of these wildfires vary, enabling elements including high temperatures, the warm eastern winds that are active during this time of year, dried herbs and bushes, and low humid trees, coming together to cause massive wildfires devouring acres of lands beyond rapid control of overwhelmed local capacities. One of the hardest-hit countries was Syria, where wildfires killed four people and left around 45 injured with breathing complications and skin burns. Wildfires were reported in 265 villages in Lattakia, Tartous, and Homs governorates with around 50 and 60 main fire points, and tens of other locations were also affected. A total of 300 fire points and villages of varying damage were reported. Most of the rugged mountainous areas were obliterated in the western countryside of Homs province, the eastern countryside of Tartus, and the northern countryside of Lattakia. The fires led to the temporary displacement of several people of some villages to neighbouring areas, especially in Lattakia's countryside, as populated areas were surrounded by the fires. The displacement continued for a couple of days at the beginning of the emergency. Source (MDRSY005dfr.pdf) |

Civil Strife |
Yes |
The Syrian civil war is an ongoing multi-sided civil war in Syria fought between the Syrian Arab Republic government (supported by domestic and foreign allies) and various domestic and foreign forces that oppose both the Syrian government and each other, in varying combinations. Unrest in Syria began on 15 March 2011 as part of the wider 2011 Arab Spring protests out of discontent with the Syrian government, eventually escalating to an armed conflict after protests calling for the president removal were violently suppressed. The war is currently being fought by several factions. The Syrian Armed Forces and its domestic and international allies represent the Syrian Arab Republic and the Syrian government. Opposed to it is the Syrian Interim Government, a big-tent alliance of pro-democratic, nationalist opposition groups (whose defence forces consist of the Syrian National Army and the Free Syrian Army). Another faction is the Syrian Salvation Government, a coalition of Sunni Islamist rebel groups headed by Tahrir al-Sham. Independent of all of them is the de facto autonomous territory of Rojava, whose armed wing is the mixed Kurdish-Arab Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Other competing factions include Salafi Jihadist organisations such as the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL). The peak of the war was during 2012–2017; violence in the country has since diminished, but the situation remains a crisis Source (Syrian civil war - Wikipedia)

Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response
GOVERNMENT
The Civil Defence Agency, with a total staff of 4,000, is decentralized to the Governorate level covering the 14 Governorates within Syria where 3,000 of the staff are currently deployed. For emergencies, an Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) exists in Damascus, which is linked to the Governorates via wireless equipment.
Governmental Institutional Arrangements and Coordination
The institutional arrangements surrounding disaster reduction activities in Syria are set within a complex web of committees, councils and institutions with the most active council being the Highest Council for Civil Defence. The only operational agency within this structure is the Civil Defence Agency, which maintains the traditional disaster preparedness and response mandate and falls under the aegis of the Ministry of Local Administration and Environment (The Civil Defence Agency falls under the aegis of the Ministry of Defence).
The Civil Defence Department has a centralized National Plan which has yet to be tested in recent years. The Civil Defence, the Fire Departments and the Police Department are the three main national institutions involved in Syria’s disaster response effort. These institutions are all decentralized, down to the Governorate level, and form part of the Local Committee for Disaster Management within the 14 Governorates
The Civil Defence Agency is more operationally linked with the Ministry of Defence than the Ministry of Local Administration and Environment (MoLAE). This agency is primarily concerned with disaster response.
Government has a considerable number of different types of aircrafts and helicopters likely to be available to transport personnel and relief supplies.
Since the beginning of the Syrian crisis in 2011, the Government of Syria put in place an intricate coordination system in charge of overseeing the humanitarian response and disaster management through the Higher Relief Committee chaired by the Minister of Local Administration and Environment (MoLAE). The GoS Higher Relief Committee (HRC) is a national planning and coordination body established by the office of the Prime Minister. It is the most senior governmental entity overseeing the humanitarian response in terms of setting strategic plans, high-level intra-governmental cooperation, and governmental-international cooperation and leading the rehabilitation or “reconstruction” efforts.
The committee, as indicated above, is headed by the minister of local administration, its membership includes ministerial-level representation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates and technical ministries such as the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Water Resources, etc. State security apparatuses are also influential members of the committee, including the national security branch. Further, SARC and the Syria Trust (ST) are active members of the HRC.
The HRC supervises the work of sub-national relief committees established on the Governorate level and headed by Governors.
Often, HCT members' engagement with the HRC is channelled through MoLAE or MoFAE.
During the earthquake response, the HRC and sub-relief committees supervised the work of operation rooms established by the GoS.
HUMANITARIAN COMMUNITY
In support of and in coordination with national and sub-national authorities, the Syria Humanitarian Country Team (HCT), which held its first meeting in Syria in 2013, under the leadership of the Humanitarian Coordinator (HC), works to ensure that humanitarian action in the country is principled, timely, effective, concerted, and efficient, and designed to contribute to long-term recovery.
In line with the Inter-Agency Standing Committee’s (IASC’s) Transformative Agenda, the Inter-Sector Coordination Group (ISCG) for Syria is established by the HC for Syria and chaired by OCHA.
The purpose of the Syria ISCG is to ensure coherence and collaboration across sectors operating inside Syria, including in the event of a natural disaster, including the sub-national sectors activated in the field, to ensure an effective and timely humanitarian response to people in need, contribute to / guide implementation of resilience focused programming / early recovery interventions as well as, to inform discussions and decisions made by the Syria HCT.

UNDAF Process
-
Prior to the crisis, the UNCT was largely engaged in development programming. The first UNDAF, for 2007-2011, was aligned with Syria’s 10th Five Year National Plan (FYNP), with focus shifting in 2010 to upstream policy advice in areas such as food security, health, waste management, youth development, violence against women, and e-governance and commerce. In 2011, the Government had prepared its 11th FYNP, against which the UNCT planned to align a second UNDAF, for the period 2012-2016. At the outbreak of the Syrian crisis in 2011, the UNCT re-prioritized projects and programmes in response to evolving humanitarian needs. UN humanitarian interventions were scaled up with emphasis on medical and obstetric care, food assistance and other lifesaving interventions. During the same period, the Office of the Special Envoy has sought to assist Syria in finding a political resolution to the crisis. Since the onset of the crisis the 2007-2011 UNDAF has been extended year-by-year. It has been agreed that 2015 will be the final extension year, and that a new Strategic Framework for 2016-2017 will provide interim support to needed capacity building, basic services and early recovery, livelihoods and resilience, building on humanitarian gains and providing for longer-term needs.
-
In early 2015, as a result of ongoing discussions between the UNCT and Government, the Government of Syria set out its views on the nature and methodology of a possible plan for cooperation with the United Nations around resilience and targeted development in response to prevailing conditions. The Government suggested targeted implementation in specific geographic locations with the aim of enhancing sustainable livelihoods, rehabilitating basic service systems for citizens, and supporting the revival of economic activity to reduce dependency and enhance livelihoods and living standards. The proposal envisioned a participatory approach in identifying the areas to be targeted and joint assessments of needs involving international organizations, the Government and beneficiaries. It called for a livelihoods approach, participatory evaluations of the programme and its impact on targeted groups, and potential expansion upon successful implementation. In response to the proposals of Government, the UNCT held a strategic planning retreat in January 2015, and agreed to develop a framework strategy to replace the UNDAF.
-
Since the development of the 2016-2017 Strategic Framework in 2015, the country context has seen considerable changes although the repercussions of the last ten years are still ongoing and humanitarian needs remain significant. In order to bring UN programming in line with these developments, the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic agreed with the Syria UN Country Team to formulate a new Strategic Framework (SF) for the period 2022- 2024. The scope of this document is limited to provide a multiyear socio-economic programming framework for the UN Country Team that focuses primarily on people’s and communities’ resilience, basic livelihoods, and early recovery activities, such as the ones recognized in the UN Security Council Resolution 2585, that complements the UN’s humanitarian response, including activities conducted under the Humanitarian Response Plan’s third strategic objective on increased resilience and access to basic services. While the latter has an annual planning cycle and focuses on emergency measures to improve communities’ short-term coping mechanisms, including through emergency livelihoods and small-scale local rehabilitation of civilian humanitarian infrastructures to access essential services, further efforts are required to diminish vulnerable Syrians’ dependence on humanitarian aid and to support endogenous community recovery processes. Therefore, the SF presents multi-year programming that allows reap the rewards of downstream capacity building and promote more sustainable livelihoods for certain individuals/communities through area-based interventions. UN principles of human rights-based and context sensitive approach to programming, including participation, local ownership, and sustainability will be the basis for the UN strategies and approaches. In this way, UN assistance will leverage the gains of early recovery to enhance community resilience and provide more dignified opportunities to individuals and their families. In sum, the largest part of the UN work in Syria will still focus on responding to the humanitarian crisis under the HRP, while the Strategic Framework will focus on multi-year resilience and early recovery activities.
Syrian Arab Republic - 1.2 Regulatory Departments & Quality Control
For the law to become effective in the country, it goes through several stages, and these stages in Syria are:
Suggestion Phase:
The President of the Republic has the right to propose and is then called (a draft law), or the proposal is made by ten representatives of the People’s Assembly (Parliament)
Acknowledgment Phase
the articles of the law are discussed and voted on, and this process is carried out by members of the People’s Assembly in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution and the bylaws of the People’s Assembly. The law is then referred to a committee called the Constitutional Affairs Committee in the Assembly to give its decision on the permissibility of considering this law. Constitutionally, this committee submits a report to the Council, which either rejects or approves the draft or proposal of the law and it becomes law.
Release Phase
in which the law is referred from the People’s Assembly to the President so that he can issue the law and direct an order to the executive authority that implements the law and implements its provisions.
Publishing Phase
the aim of which is to provide an opportunity for all citizens to have knowledge of the issuance of a new law and to learn about all its provisions by publishing it in the Official Gazette
The Council of Ministers is the highest executive and administrative body on a continuous basis. It consists of the Prime Minister, his deputies, and ministers. It supervises the implementation of laws and regulations, and monitors the work of state agencies and its own companies.
Regulation for the Quality Control in country

Syrian Arab Republic - 2.3 Road Network
Roads Overview
The total distance of roads in Syria is 97,401 km
19,490 km is paved (including 1,103 km of expressways) and 77,911 km is unpaved. Mainroad conditions and in-country trucking capacity is good and there are sufficient transport companies to meet demand. However, delays in receiving GoS approvals and tax exemptions for importation of food and non-food items is a concern and this may affect on-time deliveries. The annex 'Importance of Road Transport in Syria' includes tables that give a clear idea on the importance of roads network in Syria as back bone for the country and the numbers of vehicles operating on this network.
Road Construction / Maintenance
The transport sector in Syria has a significant share in the economy. Syria's transport and communication networks have expanded rapidly over the past decade to keep pace with the fast-growing population. The road network, for example, has increased by 10% in the past five years, of which 70% is asphalted. The MSR is a divided, multi-lane highway along the Damascus – Homs – Hama – Aleppo corridor with the Mediterranean ports of Tartous and Lattakia, and with Jordan to the south and Lebanon to the west. The secondary roads are in generally excellent condition and additional road construction is underway to extend the major highway network to include a link from Lattakia to Aleppo. Highways and secondary roads have weight-load restrictions (bridge classifications exceed 60 Mt). Due to the presence of potential obstacles on the road, grazing livestock for example, and times of reduced visibility due to inclement weather or dust where speeds become severely reduced. Occasionally snow may make driving hazardous in areas in excess of 1,000 meters above sea level.

Syrian Arab Republic - 3.5 Food and Additional Suppliers
Food and Additional Suppliers
-
Wheat flour: Assuming an annual consumption of 180kg per person, Syria's projected demand for 2024 is 4.2 million metric tons. In 2023, Syria's estimated wheat production was 2.3 million metric tons. Any reliance on local production may lead to inflationary pressures due to supply tightness.
-
Sugar and Rice: Syria does not produce rice or sugar in significant amounts; these commodities are mainly imported and packaged in Syria under different brands.
-
Vegetable oil: Since 2012, the government of Syria stopped importing sunflower seeds, and local companies only refined imported raw oil. In 2023, the government allowed companies to re-import sunflower seeds to produce oil locally. The projected demand for vegetable oil in 2024 is about 1.1 million litters, considering an annual need of 44 litters per person.
-
Salt: With an assumed annual consumption of 12kg per person, Syria's demand for salt in 2024 is projected to be 280 metric tons. Local production exceeds 100,000 metric tons annually, which is sufficient to meet the demand from the local market.
-
Lentils: Due to global warming, changes in climate, and decreasing planted areas because of high costs, Syria permitted the import of lentils in October 2022 to cover market needs. The projected demand for lentils in 2024 is 840 metric tons, assuming a need of 36kg per person annually.
In addition: Local suppliers face limitations in sourcing the commodity from abroad due to import sanctions, complicating import processes and increasing associated costs. Importers are also required to deposit the value of food items on the official exchange platform, often experiencing delays in receiving their deposits back. Additionally, agricultural activities in Syria face challenges such as high fuel prices, lack of electricity, high planting and cultivation costs, water scarcity, and dependence on rain as the main irrigation source in some areas.
Food commodities are available from local suppliers like Fortified date bars, fortified sunflower oil, bulgur wheat, iodine salt, canned food, canned chicken, olive oil, bulgur wheat and ready to eat rations. The local suppliers do have the ability to scale up however we recommend to do a quality check before sourcing.

Syrian Arab Republic - 3.7 Waste Management and Recycling Infrastructure Assessment
Overview
The waste collection process in large cities is available considered to be average.
In major urban areas, waste is typically disposed of in containers placed throughout streets. However, due to container shortages, waste may end up in plastic bags in certain areas or neighbourhoods. Municipalities bear the responsibility for managing solid waste collection and disposal. In major cities, collections occur once daily, while in smaller populated areas, it's typically every two days.
Waste is generally collected without separation, as a comprehensive waste separation program is lacking. Some regions do segregate medical and industrial waste, but most of the waste ends up in random dumps or old landfill sites due to past crises.
Collection and disposal operations are carried out by both municipal and private entities, with over 30-40% of disposal managed by private companies. Treatment and landfill operations are predominantly handled by public entities.
Regarding recycling, there are facilities in places like Tartous and Damascus for converting waste into organic fertilizers, alongside some damaged stations. Organic material sorting typically occurs at these facilities. However, there's currently no specific recycling legislation in place, with waste collection and transportation governed by Law 49, which offers semi-general instructions.
Non-Hazardous Waste Disposal
Non- Hazardous industrial waste is disposed of with solid waste in most areas, either in random dumps or sanitary landfills. As for medical waste, it is disposed of in some governorates through treatment plants, and in some other areas it is disposed of randomly. Regarding the discharge of municipal wastewater, except for major cities that has a wastewater treatment plant, In most laces, sewage is randomly disposed of by draining into rivers, streams, or the sea. There are also some treatment plants that operate at varying capacities and capacities.
