Sweden’s Regional Strategy for the Syria Crisis is implemented by the Embassy of Beirut.
The aim of the activities within the scope of this strategy is to contribute to strengthening the resilience of the Syrian population and of vulnerable groups in Syria's neighbouring countries that are being severely affected by the conflict. The strategy will also contribute to strengthening democracy and gender equality and to greater respect of human rights in Syria and for refugees from Syria in neighbouring countries. The strategy will apply to the period 2016–2020 and will comprise a total of SEK 1.7 billion.
