JOB CONTEXT:
After the fall of the previous regime, while remaining a protracted crises, Syria is entering a new phase where pure humanitarian operations will side with early recovery and recovery interventions. ย
According to the latest UN figures, about 15 million people remains still in need of humanitarian response, including about 6.5 million IDPs, while over 5 million Syrians refugess in neighboring countries or in Europe.
Threats from explosive remnants of war, lack of recovery in both the health and education sectors make Syria still a fragile context.
