RECOVER
Resilience in Emergency Contexts and Opportunities for the Vulnerable Enabling Recovery
benefiting 130,000 individuals
Resilience in Emergency Contexts and Opportunities for the Vulnerable Enabling Recovery (RECOVER) is a project aimed at helping an estimated 130,000 people recover from conflict and crisis in Syria. The project focuses on water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and education services (as well as disaster relief during the 2023 earthquake which struck northern Syria), with the goal of providing immediate emergency relief in a way that makes individuals more resilient to future crises.
RECOVER consists of a vast array of project activities aimed at providing safe and sufficient water supply to communities, ensuring children return to and stay in school, and emergency relief. Examples of project activities include the following: repairing water and sewage infrastructure, installing solar panels to increase water pump operation hours, administering nonformal education and remedial classes for out of school children, creating schoolteacher workshops, and providing emergency services.
Funded by European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO), RECOVER is being implemented in the Dier ez-Zor, Lattakia, and Rural Damascus governates, and has a timeframe from June 2021 to March 2024.
