Civil Society Monitor

In many areas inside Syria, local initiatives have replaced state institutions in providing services such as electricity, education services, medical care and rubbish collection.

Civil Society Monitor highlights how ordinary Syrians have found creative solutions to cope with the effects of six years of unremitting conflict.

From census counts to soup kitchens and support for children with special needs, people are working together to provide much-needed public services to their local communities.
