Syria - Roadmap for the EU engagement with civil society (EN)

A new Roadmap paves the way for EU engagement with civil society in Syria

The EU Delegation to Syria highly values civil society as important partners in the current and future development of Syria.  Following close consultations with a wide range of civil society representatives and other stakeholders, the EU published a strategic ‘Roadmap for EU engagement with civil society in Syria’.

The strategy contains recommendations for empowering local organisations in all areas inside Syria as well as in neighbouring countries, so that they are in a better position to serve their communities and shape common approaches to rebuilding Syrian society.

In particular, the roadmap tackles the roles civic actors could play in the future, the necessity to build their capacities and ensure their sustainability, ways to overcome the major challenges they face, as well as setting out what the EU can do to support these processes.
