COMMON PLANNING FRAMEWORK 2014 KUWAIT II: CONFERENCE BRIEF 1 THE EVOLVING CONTEXTT Since Kuwait hosted the first pledging conference on 30 January 2013 the humanitariann situation has worsened significantly inside Syria and become more complex affecting the fragile stability of the region. The social, economic and political impact of the conflict in the region has intensified and become more complex. The most vulnerable groups are in particular need of immediate protection and support. The protracted nature of the conflict threatens to derail the development trajectory and to unravel the hard won development gains that neighbouring countries had achieved over the past several years. The numbers speak for themselves: During 2013 the Number of people in need number of conflict-related deaths surpassed 100,000, in Syria (in millions) with 650,0000 injured. At the time of last year s conference, 2 million Syrian women, children and men were internally displaced, and 4 million overall needed humanitarian assistance within Syria. Today, these numbers have reached 6.5 million internally displaced and 9.3 million in need overall, of which 46% are children. Polioo has re-emerged for the first time since 37% increase since April 2013 6.8 9.3 1999. Accesss remains a critical issue: 2.5 million 4 Syrians are in areas hard to reach by humanitarian responders as a result of insecurity. Over 250,000 2.5 people are in locations besieged by the Syrian Government or opposition groups without access to 1 basic services. They are in immediate need of SHARP 2012 SHARP 2012 SHARP 2013 SHARP 2013 SHARP 2014 protection and support. The number of Syrians seeking (Jun-2012) (Sep-2012) (Dec-2012) (Apr-2013) (Sep-2013) refuge from the conflict in neighbouring states, which stood at 583,000 this time last year, has increased by a factor of four, and now stands at 2.3 million. Of 540,000 Palestine refugees in Syria, 440,0000 are now in urgent Refugee population in 2012, 2013 need of assistance. Over 70,000 Palestine refugees and projection 2014 are estimated to have fled to Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt, and elsewhere. 4,500 Egypt 4,000 Syria itself has witnessed a year of continued Iraq devastation and brutality, amidst rapidly shifting 3,500 allegiances and battle lines, widespread human rights Turkey 3,000 abuses and the documented use of chemical weapons. 2,500 Jordan Public services and infrastructure have continued to erode. Between 4,100 and 4,500 schools are out of use 2,000 Lebanon due to damage, destruction, or because they are used 1,500 as IDP shelters. In addition, 64% out of 88 assessed 1,000 hospitals have been impacted and are largely out of service. Local production of medicines has been 500 reduced by 65 70%. 2.

Accelerating inflation and disruptions to harvests and trade routes has meant that access to essential commodities, such as food, fuel, agricultural inputs and basic household items, has become increasingly limited. A recent Joint Rapid Food and Nutrition Assessment suggests that 9.9 million people are unable to purchase sufficient food to maintain their usual level of consumption. Of these 6.3 Thousands 1 O CHA Regional Dashboard, 26 January 2013. 2 Sources: RRP4, RRP6, SHARP 2013, SHARP 2014, UNRWA. 3 ESCWA 2013 1

KUWAIT II: CONFERENCE BRIEF COMMON PLANNING FRAMEWORK 2014 million are in critical need of sustained food assistance 4. With more than half of all Syrian families now living below the poverty line, and a near 45% unemployment rate, household resilience is quickly diminishing. As the crisis moves towards its fourth year, the spectre of a lost generation of youth, with no access to education or work, looms over Syria 5. Neighbouring countries have borne the brunt of the impact from the outflow of the crisis and have seen their national burdens grow exponentially over the past year. Host communities, which have welcomed 84% of all Syrian refugees into their midst, have seen their livelihoods come under increasing strain, particularly in locations where poverty levels were already high. The mass refugee influx has imposed new and unsustainable demands on local utilities, services and infrastructure, on schoolrooms, health facilities and housing. Wages have been driven downwards at the same time that prices, particularly for food, fuel and accommodation, have risen. Last year, hosting communities hardly featured in the discussions of 2013 conference. This year, they are a central element: 2.7 million affected nationals around the region are now targeted in the appeals. The surge in refugee arrivals since the beginning of 2013 has occurred at a time of wider economic difficulty in the region 6, propelled by the Syrian conflict and other sources of political uncertainty. Smaller economies, and in particular those that are highly dependent on foreign direct investment, regional trade and tourism, have experienced the most strain, as investors shift their attention elsewhere, and as visitors stay away. The resulting effects on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) have been negative, with Jordan reporting a 2% shortfall on projected growth during 2013, and Lebanon a 3% shortfall in the same period. Poverty has worsened. The effects on employment levels, particularly in the construction and hospitality sectors, have been negative. In Lebanon, unemployment is expected to double, rising above 20%, with the national deficit widening by $2.6 billion and a cumulative economic loss reaching $7.5 billion by end 2014. Critically, the economic slowdown has affected public revenues precisely at a time when governments have struggled to meet the additional costs raised by the growing refugee presence for healthcare, education and municipal services, and subsidies for food, fuel and electricity. In the smaller and more exposed host economies the mounting refugee presence has moved beyond humanitarian parameters to become a matter of structural instability. The risk of a spread of communicable human diseases (including polio) has risen, together with higher risks of animal disease transmission from Syria. As a result, governments have started to engage more closely with the international community in assessing additional fiscal needs and determining modalities for meeting them. Substantive progress on this front has been achieved particularly in Lebanon and Jordan, where national resilience and stability plans have been finalised and in Lebanon a multidonor trust fund has been established. This will help to ensure that the massive assistance effort becomes more sustainable over time. The Syrian conflict has continued to polarize the region, and to affect local politics inside neighbouring states. In Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and Turkey, the mass arrival of refugees has produced heightened security concerns in border areas, and in localities where tensions between Syrians and host communities have flared. The common planning assumptions of the UN response plans for 2014 are based on a projection of current trends. Within Syria, the SHARP s most likely scenario foresees a further deterioration in the humanitarian situation, marked by a continuation and escalation of the crisis countrywide.

COMMON PLANNING FRAMEWORK 2014 KUWAIT II: CONFERENCE BRIEF result in increased disruption of social services, including the further destruction/disruption of health infrastructure; a deepening of the economic crisis; further erosion of coping mechanisms; increasing vulnerability; and increased displacement and refugee outflows. The planning scenario assumes continued cooperation with the Syrian government, Syrian NGOs, and host governments in the region, to increase outreach and access to affected populations, and for people who are seeking international protection. It is assumed that protection space in refugee-hosting countries will be preserved, with continued collaboration among actors to respond collectively to the protection rights of refugees and children, and to address rising gender-based violence in both Syria and the region. Calls for international burden-sharing will continue, and all countries beyond the region are urged to put in place mechanisms to allow refugees humanitarian access. The crisis highlights the international community s overriding imperative to address without delay the urgent needs of those most immediately affected. At the same time, the complex impact of the crisis calls for concerted attention to be given to strengthening the resilience, at community, municipal and central levels, of vulnerable host countries now and over the medium term. Governments, donors, international financial institutions, humanitarian, development and private sector actors are coming together to develop a shared regional comprehensive strategy. This combined effort will support national leadership of the response in each country, strengthen individual and collective resilience and provide longer-term development accompaniment of SHARP and RRP6 efforts. The comprehensive regional strategy also promotes the development of common analytical tools for decision-making, gap analysis, strategic monitoring and for targeting of efficient and effective crisis response actions. Several governments have already initiated or completed consultative processes to define national resilience and stabilization plans. Ultimately however, humanitarian and longer-term interventions, even if fully funded and effectively executed, cannot have sustained impact without a political solution to the conflict. 3

KUWAIT II: CONFERENCE BRIEF COMMON PLANNING FRAMEWORK 2014 3 EFFORTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS DURING 2013 The sharp deterioration in the humanitarian situation during 2013 was met by a targeted effort to mitigate the worst effects of violence and destruction inside Syria and support neighbouring countries. Despite the ongoing fighting and resulting access challenges inside Syria, the delivery of urgent assistance has increased. The key challenges in host countries continue to be expansion of programmes to keep pace with accelerating refugee arrivals in different locations, and to match needs with the resources available by targeting assistance to those in the most acute need. During 2013, the UN and its partners provided humanitarian assistance to up to 10 million people inside Syria and 2.2 million people in countries hosting refugees. The following graphics summarize achievements for 2013 7. Though targeted at beneficiaries, international assistance has in several cases had a broader positive impact on local economies. 7 The reported number of beneficiaries reached by the Health sector in Syria refers to end of October 2013 4

COMMON PLANNING FRAMEWORK 2014 KUWAIT II: CONFERENCE BRIEF Increased efforts were made throughout the year to reinforce the planning and assessment work of the host governments, and to improve the coordination between UN plans and programmes inside Syria and those in the host countries. Governments and international actors developed a Stabilisation Road Map in Lebanon and a National Resilience Plan in Jordan to assess the longer term needs. Other initiatives include the No Lost Generation Initiative and A Resilience-Based Development Response 8. The resolve of millions of Syrian women, children and men in coping with family dislocations, overcoming personal trauma, making do with ever-diminishing resources, and in extending help and support to fellow citizens through informal networks in the face of deepening divisions, is often overlooked. The continuing generosity of Lebanese, Jordanian, Turkish, Egyptian, Iraqi and Palestinian communities in sharing their homes, schools and clinics, and in coping with the resulting strains and tensions must also be recognised. Central and local authorities in several host countries moved quickly in the past year to provide assistance to the most affected areas. To do so, they have assessed both immediatee and medium/longer term needs with increasing specificity and sought ways to mobilize scarce resources, despite mounting national resource constraints. Central and municipal governments have worked increasingly closely with international partners to plan and provide humanitarian assistance and resilience-based to expand public service coverage. For its part, the international community re-doubled its efforts to provide urgent assistance in 2013, although needs continued to outpace the response. Altogether, funds received through UN appeals from the donors amounted to US$3 billion. This far exceeds the US$1.5 billion appealed for at the Kuwait conferencee in January 2013, and represents nearly 70% of revised requirements for the year. At least an additional $1.4 billion was received outside of the appeals 9. At a total of at least US$4.4 billion, the combined funding received in 2013 was more than four times higher than that received in 2012. This sum represents nearly one- third of all humanitarian funding in 2013, a clear indication of both the unprecedented scale of the crisis and of the international community s commitment to the people of Syria. Of the total funding channelled through the UN appeals, US$1 billion was committed for response inside Syria, and US$2 billion in host countries. 2012 Funding for the Syria crisis: $963 million 2013 Funding for the Syria crisis: $4.44 billion $403 million 42% $560 million 58% $1..40 billion 31% $3.04 billion 69% Appeal funding Other Appeal funding Other 8 See: http://www.unicef.org/emergencies/syria/70207_67574.html.

KUWAIT II: CONFERENCE BRIEF COMMON PLANNING FRAMEWORK 2014 4 COMBINED REQUESTS, STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES FOR 2014 Summary During 2014, the SHARP and RRP6 will address these increasing humanitarian and resilience needs in Syria and the neighbouring countries. The combined budgetary requirements for the Syria crisis are US$ 6.5 billion, as defined in the two appeals. In the 2014 SHARP, UN agencies, IOM and INGOs working on the Syria response seek US$ 2.27 billion through 122 projects to respond to 9.3 million people in need of critical humanitarian aid across the country. In the 2014 RRP6, 108 UN agencies, IOM, national and international NGOs working on the Syria response seek US$ 4.2 billion across all sectors to respond to a projected total of 4.1 million refugees (and an aggregate total of 6.8 million people) in need of critical assistance and 2.7 million affected nationals living in host communities. In the first six months, US$ 3.6 billion is required (US$ 2.18 billion in hosting countries and US$ 1.42 billion in Syria). Both plans are strategic and flexible. The following graphics indicate targets by sector in 2014. In addition, Jordan and Lebanon are both appealing for support to meet increased requirements to address the impact of the Syria crisis. 6

COMMON PLANNING FRAMEWORK 2014 KUWAIT II: CONFERENCE BRIEF 5 PRIORITIES Common Priorities The SHARP and the RRP6 will pursue life-saving interventions, backed, where feasible, by targeted, quickimpact actions to promote host community stability and resilience. In Lebanon and Jordan this will additionally be comprehensively supported by national plans. It will provide protection to vulnerable categories, including children and Palestine refugees from Syria. Considering the significant increase in the number of beneficiaries and in protection concerns, the 2014 SHARP is ensuring a more strategic focus beyond the delivery of aid to ensure stronger responses in protection response, local livelihoods and resilience, and social cohesion. Likewise within the RRP, there is an important recognition that refugee protection can be maintained by enhancing social cohesion and investing in local service delivery, infrastructure, economy, and social support. The growing engagement of development agencies in and around the evolving RRP and national plans reflects this broader approach. A full prioritization of expenditures and actions, by sector and geographical location, is provided in each of the of the SHARP 2014 and RRP 6 documents. Key humanitarian priorities are highlighted here below. Priorities in Syria Humanitarian actors have undertaken a decentralised, inter-sector geographical prioritization of needs at the district level in order to support efficient targeting, planning and implementation and to ensure that resources are allocated impartially, equitably and transparently. The analysis of needs will be regularly updates as the situation evolves, as part of the recurrent monitoring framework of the SHARP 2014. The First Six Months The inter-sector humanitarian forum in Syria has performed an analysis of the consolidated funding requirements for the first 6 months of 2014, according to which 65% of the funding requirements (USD 1.42 billion) will need to be obtained during the first half of the year. A number of policy, programme and operational factors, as well as the specifics of the country context are taken into consideration: emphasis on priority need for life-saving emergency food provision emergency health needs, including life-saving medicines and medical supplies, trauma, mental health and epidemic control. Vaccination campaigns, including for polio the mainstreaming of child protection nutritional support facilitation of safe access to basic services in shelters, host communities and conflict-affected areas labour-intensive rehabilitation of damaged infrastructure in relatively stable areas and host communities seasonal nature of some key humanitarian programmes logistical obstacles with procurement and delivery of humanitarian supplies priority programmatic geographies and indicators across all the key sectors 9

KUWAIT II: CONFERENCE BRIEF COMMON PLANNING FRAMEWORK 2014 Capacity and Access in Syria In Syria there are currently 15 UN Agencies and 18 international NGOs 10 working in all governorates, with 112 international staff and 1,439 national staff (not including 3,700 UNRWA national staff) 11. Further capacity would be improved by expeditious approval of visa requests for international staff and a further increase of INGOs registrations. This would allow the UN to partner with more INGOs, and ease procedures with local NGOs. With greater access, the ability to do assessments, monitor and verify aid, and report back in accordance with international standards and protocols, will increase. Capacity in 2013 Despite prevailing constraints, staff capacity has increased significantly from June to December 2013, particularly in November and December, both in terms of numbers as well as geographical spread. The UN and IOM expanded their presence to 13 governorates. The approval by the Government of Syria on 27 November 2013 to open two new planned UN Hubs in Quamishli (Al-Hasakeh) and Aleppo City (Aleppo), will sharply increase capacity to decentralize and deliver assistance. Although the number of UN international staff has recently decreased in line with security restrictions and programme criticality over the course of the year, the overall staffing capacity has increased by 17% in addition to the establishment of facilitators in key locations to enable and monitor delivery of programmes. International NGOs have increased in number by 29% (to 18) and overall staffing and volunteers by 28% with expanded presence to 10 governorates through focal points and facilitators.

COMMON PLANNING FRAMEWORK 2014 KUWAIT II: CONFERENCE BRIEF RRP Requirements by category (First 6 months) 6 TOWARDS A COMPREHENSIVE REGIONAL STRATEGY The Syrian crisis and its ever-widening effects continue to escalate and deepen across the region, with profound consequences in the political, security, fiscal, economic and social domains which impose enormous strains on the resources and capacities of governments, of communities and of the international aid system. Measures to stabilise livelihoods and communities and to restore eroded essential services are required to complement urgent life-saving interventions. To coherently address these complex requirements, a Comprehensive Regional Strategy is under preparation. The essential elements of the Comprehensive Regional Strategy currently under development (and of which a first draft was endorsed by host governments, development and humanitarian partners on 4 November 2013) are: to assure a comprehensive response, simultaneously integrating humanitarian, development, macroeconomic and fiscal support interventions which together strengthen resilience, stability and social cohesion; in all affected countries, to support and sustain communities under threat, to reduce the risk of gender-based violence and to support sustainable livelihoods and learning opportunities; in host countries, to meet the needs of the most vulnerable refugees and host communities, whilst supporting sustainable development and increasing resilience to current and future shocks; to support host countries (national governments, local authorities, civil society organisations and the private sector) to maintain and sustain social and economic services, stimulate investment in 13

KUWAIT II: CONFERENCE BRIEF COMMON PLANNING FRAMEWORK 2014 livelihoods and economic development and obtain access to additional ODA, budgetary support and investments; to support national leadership and coordination of the response in each country to ensure that strategies, policies, plans and interventions are appropriate to the social, economic and political realities of each country and that national capacities for service delivery are strengthened; to assure robust, comprehensive vulnerability and capacity assessments, to enhance knowledge bases that can drive gap analyses and inform resilience-focused development interventions; to establish mutual accountability frameworks between host governments and their partners which generate monitoring frameworks or dashboards, together with analytical tools for decision-making and prioritization of resource allocations to cost-effective interventions, targeted to reach the most vulnerable. The Comprehensive Regional Strategy is scheduled to be completed by end-april 2014. The draft strategy has helped to guide the development of this common planning framework document for the SHARP and RRP6 2014 appeals, both of which include proposals for supporting early recovery, community stabilization, resilience and capacity-building, whether in Syria or in host communities in neighbouring countries. It has been informed by the UN Development Group paper A Resilience-Based Development Response to the Syria Crisis. In addition, the No Lost Generation initiative underscores the combined humanitarian and development imperative of enabling Syrian children and youth to continue their education, even under the most adverse circumstances. Country chapters for the strategy are under formulation. Jordan and Lebanon launched national planning consultations in the second half of 2013 and completed their respective stability and resilience plans. Following an assessment of the impact of the Syrian crisis, Lebanon has developed a Road Map of Priority Interventions for Stabilization, while the World Bank-managed Lebanon Syrian Crisis Trust Fund has been launched. Work is progressing on development of accountability and analytical frameworks for strengthened gap analysis, prioritization, targeting and costing of strategic interventions, aimed at addressing, within a common strategic framework: immediate humanitarian needs, individual and communal resilience, macro-economic development and fiscal stability. UN agencies and partners are working on developing shared monitoring and evaluation frameworks for RRP6, SHARP 2014 and for development programming which is integrated with, and supportive of, national resilience and stabilization plans. Delivery modalities are being examined for their capacity to effectively support locally-adopted resilience and recovery strategies of affected populations living in very different national contexts. Four possible delivery channels are under scrutiny: (a) central governments; (b) local authorities and local associations; (c) UN agencies and INGOs; (d) the private sector. The comprehensive regional strategy will include a detailed review of delivery modalities and their suitability in different settings. The comprehensive regional strategy will be completed by the end of April 2014, after exhaustive consultations amongst actors and in time to inform a mid-year review of priorities and outstanding resource requirements for national resilience/recovery plans and for RRP6 and SHARP 2014. 14

SUMMARY This report presents the results achieved in 2013 with humanitarian funds directed to the organizations and actions in the Syria Humanitarian Assistance Response Plan (SHARP) and Syria Regional Response Plan (RRP). Funding for the actions and organizations in these two plans constituted the major part of humanitarian funding for the Syria crisis in 2013, and the destination for 67% of the funds so far arising from the first Kuwait Pledging Conference in January 2013. Figure 1: 2013 SHARP and RRP (in US$) $4.4 billion $3.05 billion 69% $1.4 billion Required Received Funded (See annex for full details of donors and recipient organizations.) Other humanitarian funding for Syria crisis in 2013 Within the Syrian Arab Republic, humanitarian actors scaled up and aimed to reach a target (revised at mid-year) of at least 6.8 million people in need. They largely succeeded, and in some cases surpassed the mid-year targets as needs continued to mount. On-going insecurity and the use of siege as a weapon of war have delivery of relief supplies and services to all in need extremely difficult. Organizations working in the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector provided 10 million people with safe drinking water. The health sector provided 3.6 million people with health consultations, treatments and interventions, plus 2.3 million people with emergency health kits, burn kits and other kits. They reached 1,100,505 children with measles-mumps-rubella vaccinations and 840,752 children with polio vaccinations, and fielded 51 mobile medical teams, reaching 246,546 internally displaced children with medical check-ups. The food and agriculture sector reached 4.02 million people (out of a targeted 5.040 million people), of whom 3.4 million people with direct food assistance, 89,000 people with agricultural and livestock support, and 536,000 Palestine refugees with food and cash grant assistance. The sector for shelter and household items ( non-food items or NFI) provided household items to 4.86 million people (surpassing its target of 3.67 million); rehabilitated 151 collective shelters (with rehabilitation of another 52 under way); and delivered cash assistance to 564,465 people. The education sector surpassed its targets, delivering school supplies to 1,500,000 conflictaffected children and arranging remedial education and catch-up classes for 310,000 children. In early recovery and livelihoods, 55,000 families with disrupted livelihoods received support. Organizations working in this sector reached 45,000 internally displaced families in the 14 governorates (30,000 already reached, 15,000 in process), providing 30,000 quilts (15,400 already distributed, 15,000 are in process), 4,000 rugs and mats, and 67,000 items of summer and winter clothing for women and children (25,500 distributed, 41,000 in process). 10,500 children in Homs received winter underwear and 8,000 hygiene kits were distributed in several governorates. Around 5,000 local labourers were employed in a cash-for-work scheme for solid waste removal and disposal in Homs, Aleppo, Deir Ezzor and Tartous, improving living conditions for 700,000 internally displaced people. Protection and community services programmes reached over 150,000 people, through eight community centres (in Aleppo, Damascus, Rural Damascus, Dara a, Sweida and Tartous Governorates) offering a range of legal and social services including psycho-social activities in a 3

protective and calm space, and a community mobilization programme in eight Governorates. Organizations provided psycho-social support for 460,000 children, helping them cope with the distress and disruption to their lives resulting from violence and displacement. More than 78,655 survivors of gender-based violence were assisted with psycho-social support, psychological first aid, medical counselling and vocational skills programmes through mobile teams and clinics. Nutrition sector partners were able to reach more than 500,000 children and more than 300,000 pregnant and lactating women, for screening, prevention or treatment of malnutrition and counselling and education for caretakers on nutrition. 290,417 children (age 6-59 months) were screened for malnutrition; more than 500,000 children were provided with multi-micronutrients for the prevention of malnutrition; over 491,936 children aged 6-59 months received complementary food including Plumpy Doz, Plumpy Sup and high-energy biscuits; 62,682 moderately malnourished children were provided with Plumpy Sup treatment for malnutrition; and 13,778 children were treated for severe malnutrition with plumpynuts, F-75 and F-100. The logistics cluster has transported over 30,000 cubic meters of aid cargo vital to shelter, nutrition, health, WASH, and agriculture programmes on behalf of 16 humanitarian organizations in Syria. Over 70,000 cubic meters of humanitarian cargo was stored for 16 organizations at the cluster s common storage locations in Syria. The cluster supported over 30 joint humanitarian convoys, transporting aid cargo to the governorates of Idleb, Aleppo, Homs, Daraa, Hama, Raqqa, Rural Damascus, and Hassakeh. Two primary storage hubs Safita (near Tartous) and Sahnaya (Rural Damascus) provided a total storage capacity of 8,060 square meters for the humanitarian community. In spite of the complex security environment and the changes in logistics needs this entailed, the logistics cluster met 440 out of 467 service requests for storage and transport in 2013. The emergency telecommunications cluster installed over 200 VHF/HF radios for six humanitarian organizations, and activated a satellite receiver in Damascus for data and voice transmission. To handle the complexity of the humanitarian crisis in Syria, the coordination sector has promoted maximum effectiveness of humanitarian response through information management, analysis and dissemination of information, assessment of needs, coordination of inter-sector response planning, monitoring of results, communication and advocacy, emergency preparedness and contingency planning, facilitation of inter-agency convoys and initiatives, and resource mobilization. The sector coordinated 42 inter-agency convoys to reach people in need in hard-to-access locations. The staff safety and security sector conducted regular risk assessments, enhanced the physical security of UN premises in all locations, established 24/7 radio rooms at both UN hubs (Homs and Tartus), provided security support for UN convoys and missions to the field including crossline areas, and deployed six fully equipped armour-protected vehicles in Damascus, Homs, Tartus and Qamishly to support aid delivery. Overall expenditure of funds received for SHARP programmes in 2013 is estimated at 86% by 31 December 2013. In 2013 the number of Syrians fleeing their homeland increased dramatically, making this one of the largest refugee crises in the world. Applications for asylum have been submitted in 90 countries. By 30 November 2013, nearly 2.2 million refugees from Syria had been registered in the Arab Republic of Egypt (Egypt), the Republic of Iraq (Iraq), the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (Jordan), the Lebanese Republic (Lebanon), and the Republic of Turkey (Turkey). During 2013, UNHCR registered some 1.7 million Syrian refugees in the region, with registration serving as the entry point for Syrians to be documented and their vulnerabilities assessed for protection purposes. The key assistance delivered to refugees and affected host communities in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt included: 4

More than 2 million refugees in the region have received food assistance, including in-kind food such as welcome meals, food rations and/or daily micronutrient-fortified snacks, as well as valuebased vouchers for purchasing food. Food vouchers inject millions of dollars into the local market economy. Syrian refugees have made more than a million visits to primary health care facilities and more than 1,500,000 vaccinations have been given against measles and other diseases. 836,000 people have received safe drinking water through delivery, storage facilities and connection to the water network. About 626,517 people benefitted from sanitation facilities and services including access to adequate latrines, shower facilities and solid waste collection and disposal services. 339,000 children have benefitted from psycho-social support and activities. 190 child-/youth- /women-friendly spaces have been established in camps and host communities. 9,600 unaccompanied or at-risk children have been identified and assisted. The education sector has reached 668,150 children (out of a target of 810,000) with educational assistance. Some 670 schools have been assisted with infrastructure, renovations and refurbishments. More than 8,800 teachers and other support staff received training. Shelter sector organizations distributed more than 144,000 tents, temporary and emergency shelters to vulnerable families, and 840,000 individuals benefitted from shelter assistance, including cash assistance for rents. Overall, 840,000 refugees received various kinds of shelter assistance (out of a target of roughly 1,600,000 refugees). Approximately 1,600,000 refugees were reached with support for household items and 195,714 cash assistance distributions were made to support refugee families cover other basic needs. An extensive assistance package was rolled out across the region to help refugees cope with harsh winter conditions.

KEY FACTS ABOUT FUNDING Figure 4: 2013 SHARP and RRP (in US$) $4.4 billion $3.03 billion 69% $1.4 billion Required Received Funded (See annexes for full details of all donors and recipient organizations.) Other humanitarian funding for Syria crisis (All funding figures in this document, unless otherwise noted, are taken from the Financial Tracking Service (fts.unocha.org) on 31 December 2013. FTS data comes from donor and recipient organizations. FTS on-line data are updated daily according to new reports including end-ofyear reports; by 15 January 2014 the on-line funding figures for the Syria crisis in 2013 are likely to differ from those in this document.) Donors for Syria crisis humanitarian response More than 65 donor countries have provided funding for the Syria humanitarian response since the beginning of 2012. Donors increased their funding for the Syria crisis from 2012 to 2013 from $963 million in 2012 to $4.45 billion in 2013. The donors with major increases include: the United States ($1.16 billion in 2013 for the Syria crisis, compared to $189 million in 2012), the United Kingdom ($381 million in 2013, $72 million in 2012), the European Commission ($732 million in 2013, $109 million in 2012), the State of Kuwait ($324 million in 2013, $8 million in 2012), and Germany ($312 million in 2013, $99 million in 2012). In addition, almost $200 million has been mobilized from private donors since the beginning of 2012, including large amounts from United Nations Children s Fund (UNICEF) National Committees and private fundraising campaigns in Europe and the Middle East. SHARP and RRP requirements and funding These two inter-agency plans do not encompass all humanitarian response for the Syria crisis, but they do encompass the major part of international humanitarian response, its requirements and its funding. The first RRP and SHARP were launched in March and June 2012 respectively, with combined requirements of $264 million, later raised to $836 million. Funding response from donors in 2012 was $560 million (67% of requirements). For 2013, the total requested for Syria and neighbouring countries was initially $1.56 billion, of which one-third was for needs inside Syria ($520 million) and two-thirds for needs in neighbouring countries ($1.04 billion). By mid-2013, requirements increased to $4.39 billion ($1.41 billion for Syria and $2.98 billion for neighbouring countries). Funding mounted steadily in response, and by year s end, more than $3.03 billion 69% of the required total had been raised by the international community. 9

Expenditure rate The following table shows indicative 2013 expenditure rates for most organizations in the SHARP and the largest organizations (in terms of requirements) in the RRP. Expenditure figures are unofficial snapshots, since the financial year has only just closed and formal year-end figures are not yet available. (Only some SHARP and RRP organizations are shown, as it has not yet been possible to obtain expenditure information for all 95 organizations in the 2013 SHARP and RRP, and for the many others that have received funds for the Syria crisis response outside the SHARP and RRP.) Expenditure rates must be understood in the context of when funds were received: for example, no less than $360 million of SHARP and RRP funding has been committed just since 1 November 2013 12% of the total SHARP/RRP funding for 2013 and by agreement with the donors is to be partly spent in 2014. 10

Kuwait Conference I pledges At the Kuwait Pledging Conference in January 2013, 43 donors pledged $1.54 billion for the Syria crisis humanitarian response. By the end of 2013, over $1.18 billion (76%) of the amount pledged at the Kuwait Conference was committed or paid, constituting a quarter of all humanitarian funding for Syria and neighbouring countries in 2013. Thirty-four donors have fully disbursed or committed their pledges. The top ten major pledges that have been fully committed are: Kuwait ($300 million), the United States of America ($155 million), the European Commission ($133 million), the United Kingdom ($81 million), Saudi Arabia ($78 million), Japan ($65 million), Norway ($38 million), Canada ($25 million), and Sweden ($23 million). The ad hoc consortium of the International Islamic Charitable Organization and its NGO partners raised $116 million. 67% ($785 million) of the commitments arising from the first Kuwait Conference was directed to the organisations and activities in the SHARP and RRP.

Donors pledging at the first Kuwait Conference committed $2.7 billion for the Syria crisis in addition to the funding they announced at the conference itself. The pledges announced by Australia, Canada, Denmark, the European Commission, Germany, Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States at the conference represent only 20% or less of their overall commitments for the Syria crisis in 2013. For other donors such as Norway, Sweden or Japan, their Kuwait Conference pledges represent about 50% of their overall commitments in 2013 for the Syria crisis. Requirements nearly tripled between the time of the first Kuwait Pledging Conference and the mid-year revision of the SHARP and RRP. 13

Syria crisis funding in the context of global humanitarian funding for 2012 and 2013 Total funding for the Syria crisis amounts to 30% of all global humanitarian funding in 2013 ($4.4 billion out of $14.6 billion). The two inter-agency coordinated plans for the Syria crisis (SHARP and RRP combined) were 69% funded in 2013 and 67% in 2012, above the average funding of other inter-agency appeals which were funded, on average, at 62% in both 2012 and 2013. The combined funding for the SHARP and RRP amounts to 35% of the total funding for 2013 coordinated appeals ($3.03 billion out of $8.6 billion). The unmet requirements of the SHARP and the RRP represent currently 25% of the overall unmet requirements for all coordinated appeals in 2013 ($1.35 billion out of $5.3 billion). 14

SHARP ACHIEVEMENTS PER SECTOR Humanitarian actors across sectors have scaled up the humanitarian response, reaching more beneficiaries across the country. This scale-up was made possible through strengthened collaboration with the Syrian Arab Red Crescent and line ministries, and expanded partnerships with Syrian charities, enhanced field outreach, and additional human resources capacity through the deployment of larger numbers of experienced staff. Significant efforts have been made to reach people who have been forced to flee their homes and communities assisting them, in hard-to-reach areas. This has been mainly through increased local partnerships and enhanced field presence through the establishment of UN hubs which have been the key to achieving predictability and regularity of humanitarian access across a wider geographical reach, and to complement regular assistance programmes. A special focus has been to reach people in need in hot-spot areas across lines of fighting within the country. Below are the figures per sector of the number of people reached with key assistance, vis-à-vis the targets set at mid-2013.
