Following years of conflict, Syria is navigating a complex transition and a compounding humanitarian crisis. Millions are struggling to survive amidst widespread displacement and shortages of basic necessities, including healthcare.

Targeting vulnerable populations, including internally displaced persons, UNOPS and UNFPA will rehabilitate three primary healthcare centres and equip them with solar power systems. A fourth healthcare centre will also be equipped with renewable energy solutions.

"This project is a critical step towards ensuring that vulnerable populations in Syria have access to the care they need," said UNOPS Executive Director Jorge Moreira da Silva. "By integrating sustainable energy solutions, we are also contributing to a more resilient health system.”

Funded by the Syria Humanitarian Fund, the project aligns with the UN's 2024 Humanitarian Needs Overview and its Early Recovery Strategy for Syria. By prioritizing sexual and reproductive health services, and ensuring the sustainability of healthcare facilities, the initiative aims to address urgent needs while building long-term resilience.

The project is expected to improve the lives of thousands of people in need and contribute to the broader UN efforts to support recovery and stability in Syria.
