Why this matters
The shift towards Syrian-led humanitarian coordination presents a critical opportunity for national and local actors to take a more prominent role in decision-making processes. As the humanitarian architecture in Syria evolves, the participation of diverse civil society actors, including returning diaspora and local organizations, is crucial for ensuring that coordination practices are tailored to the specific needs of affected communities. The involvement of Syrian civil society actors in shaping humanitarian standards and practices can help strengthen the legitimacy and effectiveness of humanitarian efforts, ultimately leading to more sustainable and resilient outcomes. By examining the perspectives and experiences of these actors, the policy brief provides valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges associated with inclusive coordination, highlighting the need for a more locally driven and accountable approach to humanitarian response in Syria. This development is likely to have significant implications for the future of humanitarian coordination in the region.
