Highlights
• Syria stands at a now-or-never moment. A political normalization process is under way, but the economy is fragile, and sectarian tensions have increased. Syria must stabilize to achieve regional stability, and this is a prerequisite for the safe, voluntary and dignified return of Syrian refugees and those internally displaced.
• WFP has the capacity, footprint, and access to help Syrian communities recover through a combination of humanitarian and resilience interventions. WFP reaches over 1.5 million people each month with targeted emergency food assistance, school meals, nutrition and livelihood intervention. WFP also works with interim authorities to strengthen social safety net systems and is ready to scale-up support to returnees and early recovery efforts, if funds are made available.
• WFP requires USD 335 million to implement its targeted emergency and recovery interventions in 2025; USD 100 million are needed by July to avoid a funding shortfall in September.
