Support To Stabilization Through The Rehabilitation Of Infrastructure And Housing In Contested Areas In Syria

Based on the current situation analysis, the project will adopt an approach which will contribute to the realization of a "peace dividend" by addressing priorities identified locally by women, men and youth, strengthening agreement monitoring mechanisms and improving local governance. The project will aim to create an enabling environment in which a new local equitable agreements can emerge. The project will also initiate a process of stabilization by addressing critical issues affected the quality of life of all communities. Finally, the project will work to link these local peace-building and stabilization efforts to wider processes of dialogue and the strengthening of local urban professional networks. The project by doing so, will begin to address some of the structural causes of the Syrian conflict, namely governance-related challenges.  By empowering communities to address their own priorities, the project will demonstrate models that can facilitate the transition from humanitarian recovery-oriented approaches, leveraging donor contributions with those from communities themselves.UN-Habitat will work closely with a range of external and internal partners, including communities themselves, local authorities, community based and non-governmental organizations (CBOs/NGOs) as well as the Syria country team. UN-Habitat in Syria, is providing knowledge services through its city profiles, which enable humanitarian workers to identify priority interventions.
