TunisiaThe EU and Member States Convene to Review the Progress and Impact of the Madad Fund
On 5 December, the EU Regional Trust Fund in Response to the Syrian Crisis, commonly known as the Madad Fund, commemorated its 10th anniversary with the annual joint session of the 14th Trust Fund Board and the 16th Operational Board.
The meeting, held in Brussels, brought together representatives from the European Commission, members of the European Parliament, and delegates from 21 EU Member States, alongside partners from the United Kingdom, Türkiye, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, and the Iraqi Kurdish Regional Government.
The event, chaired by Ms Ana Pires, Head of the Middle East Unit at the Directorate-General for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations (DG NEAR), served as an opportunity to review the Fund’s progress and assess its impact in addressing the needs of those affected by the Syrian crisis.
Since its establishment in December 2014, the EUTF Syria has supported 129 impactful projects across Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and Türkiye, with a total funding allocation of €2.38 billion. This significant commitment has been instrumental in improving access to basic services in seven key sectors, namely Basic and Higher Education, Health, Livelihoods, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Protection, and Social Cohesion.
