Protection, Recovery & Reintegration

Protection, Recovery & Reintegration




Community-based interventions supporting safe, dignified, and sustainable return, while strengthening protection, services, and social cohesion across Syria.


Overview

The Stabilization Support Unit (SSU), in partnership with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), implements integrated, community-based interventions to support the safe, dignified, and sustainable return of displaced populations across Syria. The program focuses on strengthening protection, providing essential services, and supporting economic reintegration through legal assistance, prevention of gender-based violence, child protection, psychosocial support, and community engagement.

Approach

These interventions are delivered through a network of community centers, mobile teams, and local volunteers, ensuring inclusive and accountable access to services for returnees, internally displaced persons, and host communities. This approach contributes to strengthening social cohesion and promoting local stability.

  • Community-based service delivery through centers, mobile teams, and volunteers
  • Legal aid, protection services, and psychosocial support
  • Support for economic reintegration and livelihoods

Emergency Response

SSU leads an emergency response in Akurhan Camp following the transfer of families from Al-Hol Camp, providing life-saving assistance including hot meals, ready-to-eat food baskets, water trucking, and waste management services. This ensures continuity of essential services during critical displacement phases.

Integration

The integration between emergency response and long-term recovery programs enhances resilience and supports sustainable solutions in line with international humanitarian standards.

Caravan of Hope

Under the “Caravan of Hope” initiative, SSU coordinated the return of dozens of families from Al-Hol Camp to their communities of origin across several Syrian governorates, providing legal and livelihood support alongside post-return follow-up to ensure sustainable reintegration.


Impact

The program delivered integrated protection and support services to thousands of beneficiaries, including around 4,000 people through emergency response interventions, while improving equitable access to services, strengthening social cohesion, and enabling sustainable return and reintegration pathways.

Current • Syria

Peace Ambassadors Project – Empowering Women for National Reconciliation

Overview The Peace Ambassadors Project is a flagship women-led initiative advancing reconciliation and social cohesion in post-conflict Syria. It empowers women as key actors in peacebuilding by equipping them with the skills, platforms, and networks needed to lead dialogue, mediation, and community initiatives that foster unity and mutual trust. Approach Implemented across Northern, Coastal, and Southern Syria, the project engages women through structured dialogue sessions, intensive training in conflict resolution and negotiation, and community-based reconciliation initiatives. Trained Peace Ambassadors facilitate local “Roundtable Dialogues,” bridging divides between diverse communities and promoting inclusive participation in shaping Syria’s future. A national reference document on women’s role in reconciliation and peacebuilding is being developed to guide future policy and practice. Impact The initiative contributes to rebuilding Syria’s social fabric by amplifying women’s voices and leadership in peace processes. By combining capacity-building, dialogue, and local action, Peace Ambassadors creates lasting pathways for inclusion, reconciliation, and community resilience — positioning women at the center of Syria’s national recovery and peacebuilding journey.
