Qatar Fund for Development signed an agreement with the Turkish Presidency of Disaster and Emergency Management (AFAD) to support the project of establishing an integrated city in northern Syria. This cooperation aims to establish a city with integrated services in northern Syria, for the benefit of 70,000 people, in addition to providing decent livelihoods for the displaced and Syrian refugees, and supporting their steadfastness.
The Fund’s cooperation with the Turkish Presidency of Disaster and Emergency Management is part of the Fund’s efforts to support the brotherly Syrian people. Since the beginning of the Syrian crisis, the State of Qatar has been keen to provide humanitarian and relief assistance to the Syrian people, based on its firm belief in their right to a decent life. This necessary assistance to improve livelihoods included a number of projects that covered several basic sectors such as health, education and economic empowerment, in addition to relief and winter aid.
