Assessment of needs and humanitarian situation inside Syria: Livelihoods

The onset of the Syrian conflict and the resulting collapse of the heavily subsidised national economy has severely affected access to livelihoods and general resilience of the population remaining in the country.1 This report presents findings on the current status of livelihoods in Syria, based on data collected during a village-level humanitarian needs assessment in Syria. It seeks to identify the changes and challenges relating to livelihood sources, along with coping strategies adopted by the population to adapt to on-going shifts in the conflict. The report specifically highlights the limited opportunities that are available to the Syrian population when sustaining their livelihoods.
