Current Challenges
- Chronic malnutrition is a major concern, affecting annually more than 0.6 Million Syrian children and one of every three displaced children. Maternal malnutrition is also a concern where 5 percent and 11 percent of mothers are malnourished in government-controlled areas and Northwest Syria respectively.
- The Nutrition Sector is critically underfunded at 7.2 percent, with only USD 13 million received out of the USD 184 million required.
- Preliminary results of a SMART survey conducted in Northwest Syria in 2021 indicate a deteriorating GAM rate which would probably result in a sizeable increase in the number of children and mothers in need in 2022.
- The COVID-19 pandemic has limited the access to health and nutrition services.
- The Syrian economy continues to deteriorate, negatively affecting the household purchasing ability and exacerbating an already dire situation.
