EU-UNDP Response in Syria - Restoration & Stabilisation of Livelihoods

The current conflict in Syria has caused mass destruction, displaced many people (7.6 million in October 2014) and taken several lives.

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) recently published a video show showing how the European Union (EU) and UNDP are working together to build resilience in Syria. Between January and September 2014 both organisations collaborated to restore and stabilise livelihoods including the creation of thousands of jobs. 

You can find out more about what the UNDP is doing in Syria on their Facebook page. You can also read a Voices & Views on Early Recover in Syria, which looks at what the UNDP was doing in Syria in autumn 2013 and details the challenges of working in a conflict affected country.
