Enhancing National Participation and Building Trust – Bridges Project

The "Enhancing National Participation and Building Trust – Bridges" project is funded by the European Union, Germany, and Denmark as part of the Peace Initiative in Syria, implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ). The Stability Support Unit (SSU) organized a community dialogue session in Homs governorate titled "Administrative Reform and Transparency." During this session, several key issues were discussed, including: The components and contents of administrative reform. The types of oversight and mechanisms for community participation to enhance government performance. Practical proposals for development and reforms to strengthen transparency. This session was organized in collaboration with: Yalla Syria Association Harmony Center It saw wide participation from various local community members, as well as human rights activists, researchers, academics, and social activists who contributed their views, interventions, and suggestions regarding the pathways for administrative reform in Syria. These sessions are a step towards creating wide community dialogue spaces that include various segments of society, with the aim of enhancing trust, national participation, and formulating reform priorities for the current phase. The "Bridges" project, with its various components, serves as an interactive platform that combines training, consultation, and community participation, paving the way for a more transparent and inclusive environment that contributes to promoting good governance, accountability, and participation in decision-making. Together, we build bridges of trust and participation for a better future for Syria.
