٣١ مارس ٢٠٢١
This video was presented during the FAOR Syria statement in the Brussels V side event on Syria, organized by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office Syria, and it will highlight the challenges and opportunities, and point to some of the priorities that future early recovery programming should take forward.
Donor, institutional, and practitioner interventions will outline the value of early recovery to the international humanitarian response in present day Syria, provide concrete examples and directly address how the range of risks associated with early recovery can be effectively managed across the whole of Syria.
The video highlights FAO Syria’s light rehabilitation of irrigation facilities across the country during the past three years. Estimations state that around 100 000 farm households have benefited directly, with around 55 000 hectares of land coming back under irrigation.
