Presentation of TGH Syria
TGH registered in Syria in May 2017, and since then has worked under the coordination of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC), officially mandated by the Syrian Authorities to coordinate activities of humanitarian organizations committed to providing assistance to the conflict-affected Syrian population in GoS-controlled areas.
TGH’s sectors of intervention in Syria are Education (including vocational training), WASH, Shelter and Protection. TGH in Syria is active in five (5) governorates namely Rural Damascus, Dar’a, Hama, South Idleb and Aleppo, and coordinates programmes and operations from the office in Damascus. The intervention in Aleppo is very recent as it followed February 2023’s earthquake emergency. TGH is considering expanding to other areas, such as As-Suweida, where a climate-related emergency is taking place.
TGH’s strategy in Syria for 2019-2023 aims to “Respond to the acute humanitarian needs of Syrian most vulnerable and exposed people while increasing their resilience capacities in country”. Our strategy consists in reinforcing our capacity to provide humanitarian assistance, while shifting gradually and where appropriate to more development-oriented programming. The role of the Head of Emergency Programme will be to sustain our humanitarian work and support national teams to both develop their skillset and to design appropriate interventions in emergency-type of settings.
The HoEP will be part of the Coordination Team, which consists of a Country Director, a Head of WASH and Shelter Programs, a Head of Education and Protection Program, a Head of Admin, Finance and HR, a Head of Logistics, a Grant Officer, and a MEAL Manager.
