BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:
As Syria navigates a new chapter marked by historic
opportunities and enduring challenges, the scale of
humanitarian needs remains overwhelming. Only 18
percent of the population is food secure; some 7.2 million
people face acute food insecurity, including 1.6 million
facing severe conditions. Approximately 5.5 million people

remain internally displaced. Since December 2024, more
than 1.6 million Syrians have returned from abroad, many
to communities where homes and infrastructure have been
destroyed, livelihood opportunities remain limited and
access to basic services is severely constrained. Sustained
support is essential to help returning families meet their
immediate needs, rebuild their livelihoods and reintegrate
into their communities.
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is the
largest humanitarian agency operating in Syria since 1964
and is uniquely positioned to support Syrian communities
in their recovery through its expansive reach and scale.
WFP’s interventions prioritize emergency relief and
resilience-building efforts focused on the most severely
food insecure populations. Additionally, WFP is a key actor
in the country’s social protection sector also plays a vital
role in strengthening Syria’s social safety-net systems.
Operating under its 2022-2026 Interim Country Strategic
Plan (iCSP), WFP addresses the growing food and nutrition
needs livelihood, resilience and early recovery, and reviving
food systems, in close collaboration with the Syrian
government, humanitarian and development stakeholders.
