Supporting a Resilient Earthquake Recovery for the People of Syria - UNDP's Earthquake Response Programme 2023 – 2025

UNDP's early recovery approach helps communities restore normalcy, people to preserve their livelihoods and dignities, and strengthens delivery systems to build resilience.

People-centered and community-led approach to inclusive early recovery builds on the long experience and trusted engagements in participatory local planning and management.

It facilitates post-earthquake end-to-end recovery processes, from damage, impact and needs assessments to the implementation of catalytic, community-led recovery interventions. And it does so working directly with communities.

It leads the UN's Whole-of-Syria Early Recovery and Livelihoods Sector, with partners operating in all earthquake-affected areas. This places UNDP in a uniquely strategic position to shape the broader post-disaster recovery process, supporting coordination and integration of high-impact, risk-informed and conflict-sensitive early recovery interventions.

The response programme builds on the UN Humanitarian Response Plan and Earthquake Flash Appeal and is fully aligned with UNDP's Country Programme for Syria 2022-2024.
