Syria Administrative boundaries for levels 0 - 4, with Arabic Names, English Names, and p-codes.
Geodatabase maintains Arabic names better than shapefile
Note that Admin 4 is the populated places layer.
Admin Level 1= Governorate = Mohafaza
Admin Level 2 = District = Mantika
Admin Level 3 = Sub-district= Nahya
Populated places (also known as "Admin Level 4") = City or Village
Dataset organization: Administrative boundary resources (shapefiles, geodatabases. and gazetteer) are separate from the populated places shapefiles resources except the live geoservices, which provide both administrative boundaries and populated places.

The recent earthquake that struck the south of Turkey and the north of Syria on the 6th of February has caused widespread destruction and devastation in the region. Thousands of people lost their lives, and many more were injured. The aftermath of this disaster has left many families displaced and in desperate need of medical attention. In response to this crisis, the Assistance Coordination Unit (ACU) conducted a survey in health facilities in northwest Syria to assess epidemiologically earthquake-induced injuries in northwest Syria. This report aims to present this survey’s findings and provide insights into the types of injuries sustained by individuals affected by the earthquake using the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th revision (ICD 10). This report highlights the urgent need for medical aid and support in the affected areas to prevent further loss of life and alleviate the suffering of those impacted by this tragic event.
On February 6, 2023, at dawn, a strong earthquake hit southern Turkey and northern Syria with a magnitude of 7.8 on the Richter scale, resulting in thousands of casualties and thousands of injured in Turkey and North-West Syria.
The Assistance Coordination Unit (ACU), through its field team network represented by the following departments: Early Warning Alert and Response Network, WASH, Polio Team, Immunization Program, Information Management Unit, DPU, and M&E conducted a needs and damage assessment following the devastating earthquake.
Data collected by the OCHA/UNDP Connecting Business initiative (CBi) on cash and in-kind donations made by private sector entities (corporations and corporate-affiliated foundations) to help support the the humanitarian response to the Türkiye-Syria earthquakes.
The ACU’s Information Management Unit conducted the 5th version of its annual research “Schools in Syria”, to highlight the impact of the Syrian conflict on the education sector in the Syrian Arab Republic. This is the most representative, nuanced iteration of this study to date, covering 4,016 schools within 78 sub-districts across 6 governorates in all non-governmental areas of the Syrian Arab Republic, building upon 38,538 data e-forms with 34,522 forms on perception surveys with school students, teachers, principals and parents. The research key findings and data represent the time period of February till May 2019 which cover the second semester of the academic year 2018/2019.
This report provides a broad view of the current obstacles and most pressing needs of the educational sector, covering a spectrum of issues ranging from facilities to student and teacher life in Syria’s embattled regions. The report consists of 15 sections: Methodology, General Information, Functioning School Buildings, WASH in Schools, School Equipment, School Levels and School Days, Curricula, Certificates, Students, School and Students Needs, Teachers, Disabled Students and Psychosocial Support, Policies and Regulations within Schools, Non-Functional Schools, Priorities and Recommendations.
The 5th version of Schools in Syria will be released and published by mid-December 2019.
This dataset contains COVID-19 vaccine dose availability forecasts as well as actual deliveries for countries with Humanitarian Response Plans. The data on vaccine availability forecasts was manually extracted from the COVAX Facility Interim Distribution Forecast as announced by COVAX on 3 February 2021. Figures for actual deliveries through channels other than COVAX are compiled by OCHA from press reports. The source(s) press releases, official announcements or articles for each such vaccine delivery are included in the dataset.
A scaled estimate of the extent of built-up presence in each 100 square meter unit area, inferred from buildings. Denoted by a decimal percentage between 0 and 1 indicating how much of the 10m x 10m grid cell is covered by buildings. From the Atlas of Human Settlements 2021 @ Syria.
The dataset contains community-level information from key informants (KIs) in 607 assessed communities across Greater Idleb and Northern Aleppo. The full survey was carried out in communities reporting direct earthquake impact (damage/service disruption) and/or arrival of new IDPs since the initial earthquake, with sections covering:
1) Population & Displacement, 2) CCCM, 3) Shelter damage & SNFI emergency needs, 4) Nutrition & Protection 5) Key Infrastructure Impacts & Service Access, 6) Priority Needs and 7) Humanitarian Assistance

The Information Management Unit (IMU) of Assistance Coordination Unit (ACU) produced the Seventh Edition of the “Winter Needs in Northwest Syria Camps” report. It sheds light on the reality of displacement camps in Northwest Syria, the numbers of IDPs and their age groups, the nature of IDPs’ shelters, their most urgent needs for the coming winter, and the top priorities of the needs. The report also highlights shows the availability of civil defense centers at the camps. The report presents recommendations for humanitarian actors to respond to the most urgent and life-saving response to be provided based on the findings of the study.
The UNHCR Livelihoods Monitoring Framework takes a program-based approach to monitoring, with the aim of tracking both outputs and the impact of UNHCR dollars spent on programming (either via partners or through direct implementation).
The process for developing the indicators began in 2015 with a review of existing tools and approaches. Consultations were held with governments, the private sector, field-based staff and civil society partners to devise a set of common, standardized measures rooted in global good practices.
Since 2017, a data collection (survey) has been rolled out globally, and the participating operations conducted a household surveys to a sample of beneficiaries of each livelihoods project implemented by UNHCR and its partner. The dataset consists of baseline and endline data from the same sample beneficiaries, in order to compare before and after the project implementation and thus to measure the impact.

The geodatabase contains boundaries for the national and first-, second-, and third-order administrative divisions, aligned to the Large Scale International Boundaries dataset from the U.S. Department of State. The feature classes are suitable for linking to the attribute data provided.
The tabular data contain total population for 2004 (census) and 2011, 2014, and 2016 (population estimates), as well as five-year age group and sex, and information relating to ethnicity, housing, access to services, forced dispersion, IDP movements, and people in need.
Most refugees live in environments where they have access to markets and services in the same way that local communities do. Providing refugees with cash enables them to fulfil their needs in a dignified manner and contributes to the local economy. UNHCR uses cash-based interventions (CBI) to provide protection, assistance, and services to the most vulnerable. Cash and vouchers help the displaced meet a variety of needs, including access to food, water, healthcare, shelter, that allow them to build and support livelihoods, and to facilitate voluntary repatriation.
Refugees, asylum-seekers, internally displaced and other vulnerable populations receive cash assistance through collaborative cash systems in which UNHCR works in close partnership with governments, the private sector, UN agencies, community-based and local partners and development actors.
UNHCR started a corporate Post-Distribution Monitoring (PDM) process to review the use and effectiveness of cash assistance provided by UNHCR and its partners. PDM semi-standardized questionnaires assess the adequacy of cash programmes, and results inform programme changes at the country level in order to improve CBI design and delivery.
