UN Resident Coordinator announces UN Plan for Early Recovery Strategy in Syria

Damascus, SANA- Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Syria, Adam Abdelmoula, announced Monday the launch of UN plan for Early Recovery Strategy in Syria for the years 2024 and 2028, during a press conference held Monday at Four Seasons Hotel in Damascus.

The importance of this strategy comes from enabling the Syrian people to earn their own living and rebuild their lives, and thus, Syria will regain its position, particularly in education and health, as it was producing 97 % of its pharmaceutical needs and export medicine to 50 other countries, Abdelmoula said.

He added that Syria did not have external debts, in addition to its self-sufficiency in food and all that comes from the energies of the Syrian people, the ability to produce, and the state’s policy before the crisis in Syria.

Abdelmoula noted that priority will be given to health and nutrition, followed by education, as well enhancing social cohesion and obtaining electricity, in addition to  many other fields.

The strategy will begin with the establishment of a dedicated fund that will enable the United Nations and humanitarian actors to provide aid for Syria, according to Abdelmoula.

He also indicated the fund needs to be registered with the office responsible for registering funds in New York, in order to contract directly with donors to provide donations and contributions, stressing that these programs will be implemented in all Syrian provinces.
