Humanitarian Situation Overview in Syria (HSOS)

The Humanitarian Situation Overview Syria (HSOS) project, formerly known as the Area of Origin (AoO) project, conducts direct data collection using a Key Informant (KI) methodology at the community (village/neighbourhood) level in northwest Syria (3-6 key informants and one form submitted per community). The overall objective of the project is to improve humanitarian access to information on needs and the general humanitarian situation across northwest Syria to help inform aid planning and enhance the understanding of the humanitarian context within Syria.

The coverage spans 1,051 communities across Idleb, Aleppo, and northern Hama. Face-to-face interviews are conducted when possible, otherwise they are done remotely (via phone using enumerators' KI networks in assessed locations). Once primary data is collected and cleaned, it is then triangulated with available secondary data sources (including other REACH products, relevant humanitarian publications by partners and other actors, and reliable news sources).
