Syrian NGO Alliance
Syrian NGOs (SNGOs) were established in response to the need for humanitarian assistance inside Syria and also meet the needs of Refugees in neighboring countries post March 2011. Some SNGOs felt the need for a body where common advocacy messages relating to humanitarian issues are being agreed. Syrian NGO Alliance (SNA) saw the light on the 2nd April 2014 in Gaziantep, Turkey.
SNA consists of 25 SNGOs who are some of the largest SNGOs working to meet the Humanitarian needsin line with international standards and protocols. SNA provides the umbrella for these SNGOs to coordinate and advocate common messages ensuring the voices of affected populations heard. We play an active role when it comes to how aid is being delivered in Syria.
