The complex crises in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and other countries in transitions require highly visible humanitarian response equally supported by subtle, quiet advocacy. The choices of UNICEF are subject to far greater scrutiny and debate than normal, more importantly in the Syrian crisis context. Six years into the violent and destructive conflict in Syria, the population still faces one of the largest humanitarian crises in the world with an estimated 11 million people – 5 million children – in need of urgent life-saving assistance. Around 6.2 million people are internally displaced. Children are particularly vulnerable to rights grave violations, with recruitment into armed groups, exploitation, and abuse, including forced early marriage and child labor of particular concern. There are more than 5.7 million Syrians registered as refugees in the neighboring countries of whom 2.5 million are children. Non-State Entities (NSE’s) are controlling parts of the Syrian Arab Republic territory which triggered the UNSC resolutions 2165 in 2014 to allow cross border (XB) operations to access and scale up assistance to children in need of assistance.
UNICEF cross border programming and the UN Whole of Syria (WoS) operational working framework requires a full dedicated coordinated approach with multiple actors, the Syria Country Office (SCO), and the several UNICEF hubs across neighboring countries in order to deliver critical humanitarian assistance against CCCs in an efficient, effective, and timely way. This allows a rational use of resources and improved coordination capacity. The XB implementation includes a coordination team based in Amman supported to date by field hubs based in Gaziantep and Amman. This WoS team is led by a P-5 with strong humanitarian, diplomatic skills, managerial experience, and sound understanding of the regional context reports to the Regional Director, ensuring the overseeing of the sub regional Syria humanitarian response working in close coordination with the Syria CO (SCO) Representative.
