United Nations Agencies and NGO partners today released the 2019-2020 Regional Refugee and Resilience Plan (3RP), a USD 5.5 billion plan designed to support national efforts in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq deal with the continued impact of the Syria crisis.

These neighboring countries have remained incredibly generous in hosting large refugee populations since the start of the crisis - offering asylum and protection, making their public services available to refugees, and enabling more and more refugees to participate in the local economy – despite the toll it has taken on their own development trajectory.

Nevertheless, dealing with such an extremely high number of refugees remains challenging. Some 5.6 million Syrian refugees are currently registered across the region with around one million newly born in displacement.
