At the invitation of partners from the Syrian Civil Defense (White Helmets) and in cooperation with USAID, the Idlib Health Directorate, represented by its director, Dr. Zohair Al-Karrat, participated in a workshop on enhancing the "Localization Agenda for Humanitarian Response in Syria".

The workshop, held last week in the city of Gaziantep in southern Turkey, included the participation of a group of donors, as well as representatives of local organizations and community initiatives working in the field of humanitarian response in Syria.

During the workshop, participants emphasized the need to empower local actors involved in the humanitarian response in northwestern Syria and the importance of their participation in decision-making processes.

Additionally, challenges faced by actors on the ground were presented and discussed, with a focus on the necessity of continuing the humanitarian response to meet the needs of the population through enhancing localization activities in Syria.
