Strategic Directions

UNHCR’s  Strategic  Directions  2023-2025  for  Syria,  validated  in  a  consultative  planning process, are threefold and in line with the UN Syria Strategic Framework for the Syrian Arab Republic 2022-2024. 

Support solutions:  UNHCR will further enhance its engagement with partners to facilitate solutions for IDPs and those who have spontaneously returned, including through the UN’s area-based return support approach, to strengthen humanitarian early recovery and resilience of communities, and therefore, the sustainability of return and reintegration.  

Maintain emergency preparedness and response capacity: UNHCR will preserve its readiness to respond to new and protracted emergencies, especially those that result in the displacement of people.  

Enhance refugee protection, inclusion, and solutions: UNHCR will step up its involvement and engagement in refugee protection, enhance the inclusion of refugees into services and assistance provided by other actors (such as livelihoods support) and advocate for solutions.
