Since the start of the revolution in Syria, the number and activities of Syrian civil society organisations (CSOs) have multiplied extraordinarily.

The 2015 Global Humanitarian Assistance (GHA) Report highlights that in 2013, 147 countries received humanitarian assistance, with countries from the Arab region, particularly those affected by the Syrian crisis, being the highest beneficiaries of aid.

Local actors experience conflicts first hand. Therefore, they have an intimate understanding of what conflict dynamics need to be addressed in order to build sustainable peace.

This study explores the role of community-based organizations in preparing for and responding to crisis in Lebanon.

Syrian non-governmental organisations (NGOs) were literally born during the current crisis, in response to various issues stemming from it.

ينتمي مفهوم المجتمع المدني إلى تلك المجموعة من المفاهيم التي كلما زاد حضورها في حياة الناس زاد عليهم غموضها، ما يحوّلها إلى أيقونة يحتشد الناس انتصارا لها وينبرون للدفاع عنها، خاصة في بلدان الاستبداد حيث يُحاصر المجتمع المدني ويُضَيّق عليه الخناق حتى يكاد يختنق ويتلاشى. والواقع أن لمفهوم المجتمع المدني دلالات متغيرة بتغيّر الأوضاع التي تمر بها الدولة والمجتمع. كذا هو الحال في منتقطنا حيث تختلف دلالة المجتمع المدني إبان بداية أحداث العنف اختلافا جذريا عما كانت عليه قبلها وكذلك عما آلت إليه الأوضاع اليوم. لكن يبقى وجود مجتمع مدني حر وفاعل شرطا أساسيا لتحقيق الديمقراطية المنشودة، ولا يبدو هذا...

The humanitarian aid system is growing and expanding, and so surely its capacity to meet these challenges should also be growing. Yet despite the enormous resources, in the more complex, less high-profile and difficult contexts, MSF teams in the field have seen that humanitarian responses to displacement emergencies have not occurred in a timely and effective way. This is especially the case in conflict areas. These observations have prompted MSF to conduct this review, to better understand how the humanitarian system is responding to acute displacement emergencies. The review is based on...

Integrity’s research highlights that women’s networks and organisations in Syria are active across a range of service delivery sectors. In many cases these groups are either responding to gaps in services provided by other NGOs, civil society organisations (CSO), or other service delivery actors, or they are providing understanding and access to the specific needs of women and children beneficiaries that other groups cannot. Women’s groups interviewed by Integrity are most active (62 per cent) in the education, skills training, and livelihoods sectors. These areas both help meet immediate...

Les politiques de coopération au développement des bailleurs étatiques placent de plus en plus le secteur marchand comme un acteur clé du développement, à la fois comme un partenaire financier ou opérationnel mais aussi comme un objectif en soi. Sa croissance dans les pays du Sud, que ce soit dans le domaine productif ou de la fourniture de services, y compris pour de la délégation de services publics ou l’offre de services bancaires, est considérée comme un indicateur positif. Les gouvernements des pays membres de l’UE cherchent ainsi à maximiser son rôle comme catalyseur ou «substitut» de...
