Five years on, what next for Syria?

15 March 2016 16:00 - 17:30 (GMT), Overseas Development Institute and online

Syria will mark a sombre occasion on 15 March – the fifth anniversary of the deadly conflict.
As the civil war enters its sixth year, people in Syria need more than short-term emergency aid. But is longer-term development possible in a place like Syria?

Bringing together leading humanitarian officials, Syrian aid workers and experts, this event will reflect on the impact of the conflict and look at how to help people in Syria survive – and even rebuild and recover – as the war continues.

​Speakers:

Nigel Fisher – former UN Assistant Secretary-General/Regional Humanitarian Coordinator for the Syria crisis

Rana Khalaf – Academy Asfari Senior Fellow, Chatham House

Jon Bennett – Independent consultant and evaluator of the TAMKEEN programme in Syria

Wesam Sabaaneh – Director, Jafra Foundation

Chair:

Sara Pantuliano – Director, Humanitarian Programmes, Overseas Development Institute
