Strengthened resilience of host communities through
diversified economic opportunities
- new agro-ind’l units est’d to complement existing value
chains(e.g. Organic olive processing, biomass and
business incubator)-support models for local
businesses to offset the reduction in cross-border
trade
Strengthened capacities of the
municipalities for service delivery
- short term needs for waste management and other municipal
services - longer term

What is different from what is already happening? • No targeting of the host communities yet-UNDP’s
work with the socio-economic impact perspective• A mix of short term response to host communities
(with the existing government capacities) to longer term interventions for increased resilience and reduced impact (building on ongoing UNDP initiatives)
• Involvement of a wide range of actors for new modalities of assistance to host communities
• Capacity building for the local government for better and more effective service delivery (e.g. on waste management)
Benefits to host communities and non-camp Syrian populations at the same time
