UN AND PARTNERS LAUNCH PLAN TO SUPPORT OVER FIVE MILLION SYRIAN REFUGEES AND COUNTRIES HOSTING THEM
December 12, 2017
AMMAN / GENEVA - United Nations Agencies and NGO partners today released the 2018 Regional Refugee and Resilience Plan (3RP), a USD 4.4 billion plan designed to support over five million refugees from Syria and the vulnerable communities hosting them in neighbouring countries.
Seven years on, the conflict in Syria continues — devastating lives and forcing millions to flee from their homes. Despite the generosity showed by neighbouring countries, most Syrian refugee families — and many in their host communities — fall below the poverty line and struggle to meet basic needs.
The 3RP aims to address these challenges, bringing together the vital efforts of some 270 humanitarian and development partners, in support of national efforts, to ensure refugees and host communities receive the support they desperately need.
