The Evolution of Syrian NGO Networks: Their role in humanitarian response and long-term prospects

This case study focuses on 12 Syrian networks based in Gaziantep that received training as part of the Syrian NGO Network Engagement and Partnership Program. This training on joint coordination and advocacy, as well as good governance and strategic planning was intended to strengthen the impact of these networks and their capacity to play a vital role in joint coordination and representation. The study seeks to document the experience of these networks, derive lessons learned, and reflect on main strengths and opportunities. Furthermore, it responds to the need to review the work of local Syrian networks as a unique opportunity for collective coordination and joint advocacy.
