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...
The crisis in Syria continues to have a devastating impact on professors, university students, and the education sector, not only in Syria but also in the neighboring countries that are hosting so many displaced Syrians. In this report, the Institute of International Education (IIE) and its Syria Consortium for Higher Education in Crisis looks at the conditions and educational needs of Syrians university students and scholars in Lebanon. “The War Follows Them: Syrian University Students and Scholars in Lebanon,” is based on first-hand research and interviews conducted in Lebanon in March 2014...
The Syrian conflict, now in its fourth year, has taken a heavy toll on Lebanon’s society.
Among those most affected are young men and women in refugee camps and marginalized communities. Young people are increasingly confronting violence and discrimination. They are missing out on education and work opportunities. The rising number of unemployed and disenfranchised youth in Lebanon could become a security risk for both Lebanese and refugee communities.
A society’s well-being relies on its youth, who can help revitalize the economy when education, health care and job opportunities are available...

In addition to collating relevant portions of major UN documents, the compendium also includes commitments made by regional bodies such as the Arab...
The crisis in Syria has entered its fourth year. Children have been on the front-line from the outset. They have experienced or witnessed horrific acts of indiscriminate
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...

Palestinian refugees from Syria living in Lebanon are one of the most vulnerable sub-populations affected by the crisis. In April 2013, ANERA conducted a survey of these families to gain a clear picture of the situation on the ground and to assess the critical needs that exist. The findings are shocking and the situation is getting worse, day by day.
Palestinian refugees in Syria have attempted to remain neutral in the civil conflict, which began in March 2011, but they have increasingly been pulled into and affected by the conflict. Palestinian refugees entering Lebanon from Syria have particular needs and vulnerabilities vis-à-vis the general Syrian refugee population. Drawing on its mission of 45 years to serve Palestinian refugees in the Middle East, ANERA (American Near East Refugee Aid) has been monitoring and responding to the needs of Palestinian refugees from Syria. The refugee numbers now surpass 30,000. ANERA conducted the...
