II. Context
UNDP in Syria plays a leadership role in strengthening the resilience of the most affected communities by seeking to reduce poverty and inequality, improve local governance capacities, address environmental and energy barriers impeding recovery, and ensure the empowerment of women and girls in all these areas. The aim is to strengthen community resilience with a focus on local communities.
Within this context, the local governance and service delivery component of the Country Programme seeks to reduce the lack of basic services provided and spaces for community participation in the local governance process, which is one of the fundamental foundations for peace and long-term development, in addition to UNDP’s encouragement for local governance to be more inclusive, responsive and representative, and for local administrative units to provide more equitable, effective and gender-sensitive basic services that would enhance the resilience of the most vulnerable people in local communities. The programme also aims to support greater representation and participation of the community, particularly women, in local planning processes. This provides opportunities and mechanisms for citizen participation in local decision-making and prioritization.
