دعوة إلى إبداء الاهتمام: الانضمام إلى شبكة مبادرات التعافي السوري (SRI)

تدعو وحدة دعم الاستقرار وشبكة مبادرات التعافي السوري المجموعات التطوعية غير المسجَّلة في جميع المحافظات السورية إلى إبداء اهتمامها بالانضمام إلى الشبكة، ضمن هيكلها ونظامها الداخلي. آخر موعد للتقديم: 20 تشرين الثاني/نوفمبر 2026.

خلفية عن الشبكة

تمر سوريا بمرحلة انتقالية بعد سنوات طويلة من الحرب، وما زالت آثارها حاضرة في حياة الناس وفي العلاقات بين المجتمعات. وتختلف الاحتياجات من منطقة إلى أخرى وتتغير مع الوقت. وفي المقابل، تواصل المجتمعات السورية التنظيم الذاتي والتكافل عبر مجموعاتها المحلية.

من هذا الواقع انطلقت شبكة مبادرات التعافي السوري، لتدعم عمل هذه المجموعات في إطار منظم من دون أن تحل محلها. وقد وضعت المجموعات المؤسِّسة النظام الداخلي للشبكة بصورة مشتركة، ثم اجتمعت في آب/أغسطس 2026 لتحديد الأولويات، استناداً إلى حجم الحاجة، ومدى إلحاحها، والأثر المتوقع، وإمكانية التنفيذ، والاستدامة والملكية المجتمعية.

تُدار الشبكة عبر مجلس تنسيق أعلى وخمس لجان قطاعية، وفق مبدأ «القيادة بحسب الخبرة، والدعم بحسب الحاجة». وتتولى لجنة قائدة كل مبادرة، وتساندها اللجان الأخرى حين تتعدد أبعادها، وتُوثَّق القرارات خطياً في كل مرحلة.

تنطلق المبادرات من المجتمعات نفسها، فهي التي تحدد احتياجاتها وأولوياتها. أما وحدة دعم الاستقرار، وهي منظمة سورية تأسست عام 2016، فتؤدي دور الميسِّر: تنسق بين المجموعات وترافقها، وتحوّل التمويل إلى الجهات المنفذة، وتوثق العمل، من دون أن تملك سلطة على اختيار المبادرات أو الجهات المنفذة.

وتسعى الشبكة اليوم إلى التوسع جغرافياً وقطاعياً، بالهيكل والنظام الداخلي نفسيهما، لتصل إلى مجتمعات ومحافظات أكثر.

المجالات الخمسة

يُشترط أن يكون للمجموعة سجل تطوعي في مجال واحد على الأقل من هذه المجالات.

اللجنة القطاعية	مجال العمل
الخدمات الأساسية والإنسانية والتعافي	إعادة تأهيل الخدمات والمرافق المحلية، ومبادرات التعافي المجتمعي
التماسك الاجتماعي والسلم الأهلي	الحوار والتبادل بين المجتمعات السورية، وتعزيز الثقة والعيش المشترك
الشباب والقيادة المجتمعية	إشراك الشباب وتنظيم العمل التطوعي وتطوير القيادات المجتمعية
المرأة والحماية	مشاركة النساء والفتيات وسلامتهن، وقضايا الحماية المجتمعية
التمكين الاقتصادي وسبل العيش	تعزيز فرص الدخل وسبل العيش، ودعم التمكين الاقتصادي في المجتمعات المحلية

The Syrian Sect Organizes a Visit to Christian Brothers and Sisters on the Occasion of Easter in the City of Aleppo

As part of the activities of the Syrian Sect, a visit was organized to the Christian brothers and sisters in the city of Aleppo to extend congratulations on the occasion of the Holy Easter. The visit included churches such as the Latin, Chaldean, Maronite, and Greek Catholic churches, and was filled with an atmosphere of love and fraternity, emphasizing the spirit of coexistence and national unity. During the visit, discussions were held about the Syrian Sect, its activities, and its goals, as well as the importance of shared living, which should be a priority for civil society in Syria.

Returnees Campaign: Reviving the Spirit of Syrian Homes

"Returnees": A Campaign Launched by the Stability Organization to Revive the Spirit of Syrian Homes In the city of Aleppo, where it all began, the Stability Organization carried out intensive field efforts as part of the "Returnees" campaign, targeting families wishing to return to their homes. A total of 220 damaged homes were assessed, with 176 approved after a thorough evaluation that applied humanitarian criteria, including economic status, the presence of individuals with special needs, and families of martyrs and detainees. There, amid the old alleys, families began dusting off doors, repairing windows, and breathing life back into the walls that had witnessed years of absence. Together, they proclaimed: "We never left your hearts." Building upon these efforts, the Stability Organization facilitated the relocation of 20 families to Damascus and 38 families to Homs, in organized convoys that began from the camps in Azaz, Afrin, and Al-Bab. These families were returned to their original homes after years of forced displacement. "Returnees" was not just a humanitarian campaign; it was a practical step toward real stability, restoring a sense of dignity to the people and giving them the ability to start anew in their homes, within walls that carry their memories and identity. This campaign confirmed that returning is not a distant dream but a right worth fighting for, and that the voice of life, when truly supported, is stronger than all the absence. "Returnees" was just the beginning... Hope is what these families are building, brick by brick, with patience and determination.

The Syrian Sect: A Civil Initiative to Confront Division

The Syrian Sect: A Civil Initiative Confronting Division In early 2025, with escalating security tensions in the Syrian coast, particularly in the rural areas of Latakia, the urgent need for a humanitarian and community response to address the complexities of the local situation became apparent. Rising violence, near-total interruption of essential services, and growing social divisions created a dangerous environment threatening the remaining civil cohesion. In this context, the “Syrian Sect Network” emerged as a comprehensive civil initiative, bringing together several Syrian civil society organizations under one goal: to enhance social cohesion and respond to the humanitarian crisis without discrimination. From Emergency Response to Community Action The initiative began as a direct response to the bloody events in the region in March 2025, which included attacks by pro-regime militia groups (known as remnants of the regime) on Syrian security forces, violent clashes, waves of displacement, and infrastructure collapse. The Stabilization Support Unit (SSU), alongside partners such as Kafa Organization, Al-Risala Foundation, The Women’s Association, The Civil Center, The Women’s Empowerment and Support Unit, Catholic National Socialization Committee, and Point Organization, led swift efforts to assist the affected residents in areas starting from the villages of rural Latakia, moving through Tartous, and reaching Aleppo and Daraa. The response included: - Distribution of over 1,000 food baskets, 15,000 loaves of bread, and 2,500 ready meals. - Health assistance, including hygiene supplies, diapers, towels, and cleaning materials. - Direct cash support for 300 needy families. The campaign did not only focus on aid distribution. Alongside the relief efforts, community dialogue sessions were organized, involving dignitaries, local residents, and activists from various regions, aiming to break stereotypes and enhance communication. Field interviews and “confession” meetings with the families of victims were conducted to provide a safe space for expression and reconciliation. These activities contributed to: - Engaging the local community in analyzing their situation and proposing their initiatives. - Opening communication lines between communities that had been living in isolation. - Raising awareness of the importance of social unity in the post-war context. Challenges Faced: The campaign teams faced severe logistical difficulties due to rough roads, limited funding, and significant time pressure. Most activities were carried out within six days, requiring rapid action with limited resources. There was also a noticeable need for a deeper understanding of the local and cultural contexts in some targeted villages. Despite these challenges, the aid reached nearly 30,000 beneficiaries, with over 350 volunteers from the communities involved in the campaign’s execution. This helped build trust between the residents and the organizations, and several participants expressed their readiness to take part in future community initiatives. Key Outcomes of the Campaign: - The UN fact-finding committee communicated with the coordination team to learn about the operational mechanisms. - A voluntary initiative by youth from the Syrian coast to visit areas in the north, which marked an important turning point in breaking social barriers. The Syrian Sect Network represents a practical model of how civil action can intervene effectively amidst crises by combining emergency relief with community-building. It is a practical step toward comprehensive community recovery, not only providing aid but also rebuilding trust among Syrians themselves.

The Syrian Sect: A National Initiative to Promote Civil Peace and Social Cohesion

The Syrian Sect: A National Initiative to Promote Civil Peace and Social Cohesion As part of civil society organizations' efforts to support stability, a group of national organizations launched the "Syrian Sect" convoy from the city of Aleppo to several regions in Syria, notably Jaramana and Saqba in Eastern Ghouta, with the aim of promoting civil peace and national unity. The initiative involved dignitaries and activists from various governorates (Aleppo, Homs, Salmiyah, Damascus), where open community meetings were held, focusing on the importance of social cohesion, the need to confront hate speech, and the right of all to equal citizenship. The visit culminated in the signing of the *Community Principles Charter* in Jaramana, which consists of 14 articles emphasizing Syria's unity, both in land and people. The charter upholds the principles of justice, respect for diversity, and support for state institutions to achieve stability. Participants stressed the importance of students returning to their universities and standing by returnees in their regions to support recovery and reintegration efforts. The initiative is implemented by: Stabilization Support Unit (SSU), Civil Center, Women's Empowerment and Support Unit, Al-Risala Foundation, Kafa, Bond Network, Al-Istiqama Organization, Souriaty, Ather, and the Syrian Women's Association.

The Convoy of Hope: A New Chapter for Al-Hol Families

A landmark humanitarian operation marks the first step toward reintegration and healing for Syria’s most vulnerable In a historic first, and in cooperation with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) — which facilitated an agreement between the Syrian Government and the Syrian Democratic Forces in Northeast Syria — the Stabilization Support Unit (SSU), in partnership with the Syrian Center for Studies and Dialog, launched a humanitarian initiative aimed at evacuating 42 families from Al-Hol Camp. This operation marks the beginning of a broader strategy to relocate 99 of the most vulnerable families—many facing severe health challenges—and offers hope for thousands who have endured years of displacement, deprivation, and isolation A Humanitarian Turning Point As part of an unprecedented agreement, UNHCR and the Syrian Government committed to assisting 99 families in Al-Hol Camp suffering from chronic and life-threatening medical conditions. The initiative also includes the first-ever humanitarian convoy to cross from northeast to northwest Syria—representing both a logistical breakthrough and a symbolic shift toward reintegration Al-Hol: A Landscape of Loss Al-Hol Camp has become home to more than 15,800 families—half from Aleppo—who have spent years under harsh, isolated conditions. Children born into the camp have never experienced life outside its fences, while women, elderly individuals, and people with disabilities bear the brunt of deteriorating conditions The Convoy of Hope: More Than a Journey Led by SSU and the Syrian Center for Studies and Dialogue, and supported logistically by Aleppo Governorate, the initial phase relocated 42 families over 2.5 days. Key operational highlights included 22 trucks transporting belongings 4 buses for families 5 fully equipped ambulances with medical teams The convoy’s 12-hour journey from Al-Hasakah to Aleppo adhered to strict safety protocols. Some children, unused to travel, experienced nausea, prompting a stop for medical attention—successfully managed by the onboard team. A Structured Reception in Aleppo At the Aleppo reception center, the Directorate of Health provided medical screenings, vaccinations, and documentation for each family member. Specialized units also offered psychosocial support to address trauma stemming from a decade of separation and camp life. Document verification and needs assessments were conducted before families shared a modest dinner and were transferred to temporary shelters. Organized Relocation with Dignity Families were relocated based on destination zones Code A: Aleppo City – 17 families Code B: Homs (2), Al-Sfera (7), Deir Hafer (3) Code C: Al-Bab (10), Azaz (3) Transfers were tailored to family needs, ensuring careful coordination with receiving communities A Warm Reception and a Broader Vision The initiative drew support from both the Syrian Government and the Autonomous Administration in northeast Syria. Families expressed a strong desire to reunite with loved ones still in the camp. SSU confirmed that this was only the beginning of a phased plan to relocate all families in need Beyond Evacuation: A Call for Reintegration Initial assessments reveal urgent and complex needs: Psychological trauma and mental health challenges Chronic illnesses needing continuous care Children with disabilities requiring tailored support Elderly and widowed women without caregivers Families with no income in need of vocational training and financial aid Host families now stretched thin accommodating returning relatives Meaningful reintegration requires long-term, multi-sectoral support—from psychosocial care to economic recovery and community rebuilding. A Pledge for the Future The Convoy of Hope is more than a transport mission; it is a declaration of commitment to recovery, dignity, and the right to a life beyond survival. As further phases unfold, the challenge remains: not just to move families, but to restore their futures.

Stabilization Support Unit (SSU)

In collaboration with the Stabilization Support Unit, IMS publishes a report on its work in Syria regarding trust-building and the safety of journalists.

The International Media Support (IMS) organization issued a report titled "Syria: Journalist Safety Mechanisms Start with Trust," focusing on its work in supporting media and journalist safety in Syria in collaboration with the Stabilization Support Unit. The report states that IMS is making efforts concerning journalist safety and the issue of impunity within the framework of the United Nations plan. The organization stated that after more than a decade of war, the media landscape in Syria remains fragmented and disorganized, especially with independent journalists fleeing into exile, being displaced internally, or being killed by the regime. IMS further explained that it has been working with the Stabilization Support Unit since 2020 "to achieve cooperation and alignment between active media entities in opposition-controlled areas in the northern part of the country." Additionally, the Stabilization Support Unit, with IMS support, organized a series of workshops to encourage dialogue among stakeholders from independent media outlets, local governing authorities, local military forces, and civil society to ensure journalist safety. IMS emphasized the importance of these meetings as they "gathered key local experts to discuss challenges and needs related to media safety, contributing to building a platform for dialogue and trust among various actors." Mr. Munther Al-Sallal, Executive Director of the Stabilization Support Unit, stated that this project is "important at a time when many international entities have stopped supporting Syrian media, despite the deteriorating situation, dire living conditions, violations, and instability." Mr. Al-Sallal continued, "Inviting actors to dialogue and build trust among them is an achievement in itself in the current Syrian environment. We believe it will increase the safety of journalists and enhance their professionalism on the ground." According to IMS, the "Media Code of Ethics" issued in February of this year is considered "one of the most important outcomes of this project." It represents a significant step towards creating a more professional and cooperative media sector, focusing on explaining media laws, increasing protection for journalists, and educating them about their rights and responsibilities, according to the organization's report. The Stabilization Support Unit, with IMS support, will further focus on governance to enhance and develop internal structures and safety policies for media groups. This also includes establishing a robust regional emergency plan, locally directed, aimed at preparing emerging local media institutions for repositioning in the future if conflict escalates in their areas. Mr. Munther Al-Sallal reaffirmed, "The workshops and the Media Code of Ethics are the first steps towards a regional emergency plan, through which we will work to improve media safety mechanisms so that journalists can continue covering and sharing important stories with the Syrian people and the world during crises." The essence of the partnership between IMS and the Stabilization Support Unit is that such an emergency plan must be developed by local Syrian entities within Syria to ensure the sustainability of the project. This is especially important given that the war in Syria has proven to Syrians that when disasters strike, the international community may not be willing to provide assistance. For this reason, IMS continues its supportive and guiding role for the Stabilization Support Unit to achieve this.
