Since the beginning of 2014, UNDP scaled up its early recovery and resilience interventions targeting 12 highly affected governorates in Syria. Relying on its area-based approach in planning and programming, UNDP is currently implementing 47 recovery, resilience and livelihoods projects. Until July 2014, a total of 1,527,977 crisis affected people all over Syria benefitted from UNDP’s support.

UNDP’s recovery, resilience and livelihoods programme was conceived, designed and is implemented as  an integral component of the Syrian Humanitarian Assistance Response Plan (SHARP) as it is agreed upon between the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic and the United Nations in Syria. Projects are implemented with local authorities at different levels, non-governmental organization, and communityand
faith-based organizations active in communities all over Syria.
