Rebuilding Syria: Entrepreneurs Are Ready

After fourteen years of destruction and displacement, Syria stands at a pivotal turning point following its recent regime change. What role will impact entrepreneurs play in rebuilding its economy and society? Syria’s economy has severe challenges as the country emerges into this new era. As of late 2024, more than 90% of Syrians lived below the poverty line and nearly 70% depended on humanitarian aid. Meanwhile, as aid budgets have steadily shrunk over the years, only 12.5% of the $1.25 billion UN-coordinated humanitarian response for Syria has been funded. New solutions are urgently needed in vital sectors such as shelter, water and sanitation, and food security, as well as to revitalize the economy.
