Impact helps CSOs reject hate speech and build peace in Syria. They held a 2-day workshop in Qamishli for 10 partner organizations to deconstruct misinformation. This led to local initiatives aimed at protecting civil work and mitigating social tension at this critical stage.

Dr.Daher: We need to be clear about our political goals from implementing the sanctions as a policy. I’m not against the sanctions as a tool of accountability but we also need to acknowledge the financial pressure they will put on the Syrian community as a whole and civil society

Dr. Daher: Syrian regime has been imprisoning any opposition prior to 2011. Working in Syria was never an easy task. We need to try our best to continue working (or supporting) the people who are still active in government held areas in Syria.

@KahaleSalma: it’s important for us to figure out the nuances to protest the notion that we can’t work in Syria. It’s probably a very limited civic space, but that’s why we need to support the small local initiatives so we don’t abandon the space available no matter how small.

Are Syrian CSOs really in Syria? The answer may surprise you. Learn more about Syrian CSOs, where they are, and what they do in our newest mapping report: impact-csrd.org/reports/Chan…
Based on our latest research, we recommend that Syrian CSOs invest more in internal development, building from the inside out. #Syria #Mapping #CSOs #selfcare Read more recommendations here: impact-csrd.org/middle-east/…
