The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) Syria Country Office invites Syrian civil society organisations to submit an Expression of Interest (EoI) for identification and pre-qualification for inclusion in a thematic roster of local partners supporting emergency response programming across Syria. The purpose of this EoI is to identify and establish a pool of qualified Syrian organisations that can support rapid, locally led emergency interventions. The humanitarian context in Syria remains highly dynamic, characterised by recurrent shocks, access constraints, and urgent needs that require timely and context-appropriate responses. DRC recognises that the effectiveness and timeliness of emergency assistance is strengthened through engagement with capable local partners demonstrating operational readiness, community acceptance, and contextual access.

Through this EoI, DRC aims to:

• Enable transparent and timely identification of local partners for emergency interventions
• Establish a pre-qualified pool of organisations that can be mobilised rapidly following shocks
• Strengthen locally led emergency response capacity in line with DRC’s Localization Vision 2030.
• Ensure principled, accountable, and risk-aware partnerships that support timely life-saving assistance
