EU Regional Trust Fund in Response to the Syrian crisis

About the EU Madad Fund

The EU Regional Trust Fund in Response to the Syrian Crisis pools an increasing share of the EU’s aid to the region into one single and flexible instrument. The Fund primarily addresses educational, economic, social and health needs of Syrian refugees while also supporting overstretched local communities and their administrations.

The EU Trust Fund bridges the nexus between humanitarian relief and development aid:

• It addresses early recovery, as well as resilience and self-reliance needs of refugees and IDPs, in a manner that also benefits local communities, and preserves the stability of neighbouring countries.
• It supports countries hosting refugees by investing in health and education, economic development, job creation and integration into labour markets, for both local communities and refugees, especially vulnerable groups such as women and youth.
