The 2016 Syria Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) has been developed in consultation with the Government of Syria and sets out the framework within which the humanitarian community will respond to large-scale humanitarian and protection needs in Syria throughout 2016 on the basis of the prioritisation undertaken within and across sectors. The HRP also presents urgent funding requirements to meet the ever-growing needs.

The plan is based on ample data on needs. It is anchored by three strategic objectives, focusing on saving lives and alleviating suffering, enhancing protection and building resilience. These objectives are interlinked, and protection is mainstreamed and mutually supportive. Progress made towards attaining one objective is often dependent
upon incremental steps towards achieving another. Achieving these objectives, through humanitarian activities under this plan, is contingent upon the availability of sufficient resources and the existence of an enabling operational environment.
