DESCRIPTION :

The Syrian crisis is the greatest humanitarian crisis of the last 20 years. According to the latest UN figures (HNO 2023), about 15.3 million people are currently affected by the crisis in Syria, including about 2,1 million IDPs living in last-resort IDP sites, while over 5 million Syrians have sought refuge in neighbouring countries or in Europe. The current humanitarian response only provides a patchy and partial coverage of the growing humanitarian needs. Twelve years after the beginning of the crisis, the number of injured persons in Syria keeps rising, with a severe lack of healthcare in many areas. In large areas of the country, the local economy is in bad shape, local populations and IDPs are in need of livelihoods assistance.

5. Representation of the AoR:

The Sector Co-coordinator will work impartially with all members of the Sector/Cluster/Working Groups, and serve and represent these groups as a whole. Mine Action AoR Co-coordinator will work closely notably with the CLA, WoS Sector Coordinator, OCHA Regional Office for the Syria Crisis, and donors as and when requested to do so with the CLA coordination acting similarly.
