About the advertiser
WHO

The World Health Organization (WHO) and its partners have been responding to the large-scale, and protracted crisis affecting Syria for over 14 years. The overall inter-factional armed conflict, exacerbated by the massive earthquake in early 2023, hyperinflation resulting from sanctions and 85% of households living in poverty[1] has hugely increased protection risks. These risks include human trafficking, child marriage, gender-based violence (GBV) as well as sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA), among many others[2]. During late 2024, a dramatic and unexpected change took place in Syria when the long-term leadership was toppled, making way for the new caretaker authorities to take power and begin a new phase for Syria. This change means that there may be a lifting of sanctions, increased donor interest in the country and opportunities also for early recovery investment and development pathways. Despite these more positive potentials, a high number of returns, further displacements, a potential resurgence of armed groups and also uncertainty about how the caretaker authorities will be able to manage law and order present major SEA risks, which according to the IASC, have increased Syria’s vulnerabilities to major SEA risks.

WHO and all UN agencies are bound by the six core principles of PSEA (protection from sexual exploitation and abuse),[3] which affirm that acts of SEA are serious misconduct; all WHO personnel have an obligation to take steps to prevent and mitigate the risk of SEA and abide by UN standards on PSEA.[4] As a member of the IASC, party to interagency coordination mechanisms and leading the UN health response in Syria, WHO has a duty to assure that its partners, collaborators and affected communities under the health response are aware of PSEA.

WHO is also an active member of the interagency PSEA network at the national level based in Damascus, and also in the respective sub-national networks in Aleppo and Qamishli. As a part of its duties to the interagency network WHO has aligned its annual workplan with the interagency’s and also pledged funds to support specific interagency activities. A major deliverable of the interagency that WHO is funding during 2025 is the IARA (Interagency Risk Assessment) exercise that will compliment the IARA that has been carried out in Aleppo during 2024, and will address Damascus, and Qamishli areas. Within this overall framework, WHO seeks the support of a international remote consultant to support in the data collection, analysis and overall preparation of the report.
