Background Information

Despite reduced scale of military confrontation and violence in the most densely populated regions of the country, Syrians are increasingly challenged to access basic services due to the level of infrastructure destruction left behind by the hostilities and

scarce resources, also as a result of massive internal displacement and lack of access to information. Surveys for refugees’ intentions to return has been considered the main source of information for probable movement and decision of refugees to return.

Various intention assessments and returnees’ surveys have been provided based on the collected data in refugees’ camps outside Syria.

To integrate UN agencies efforts for refugees and development domains, an innovative solution will be provided to link the Syrian IDPs with their communities of origin and convey substantive analysis and feedback about the livelihoods and service availability in their returning destinations. Based on the information management capacity and partnerships, joint efforts can produce comprehensive database linked to centers in the potential returning communities to provide unique feedback for IDPs whom are considered potential returnees on both community and household levels.
