In the context of the Syrian conflict, local institutions in the north-east have been working for some time to ensure the strengthening of protection systems for the population. Among these, environmental and ecological protection is one of the main axes of engagement in the region, to ensure ecological sustainability through the strengthening of the waste management system - including sanitation - at the local and regional level. Since 2019, Un Ponte Per has been engaged in this area together with its local partners.
'Nifayat at-Tubiya' is a new intervention that aims to consolidate the medical waste management system in north-eastern Syria by expanding the competencies with respect to the management of resources, especially water, and waste in all health facilities in the area.
Activities are carried out in cooperation with the Kurdish Red Crescent (KRC), local authorities in the NES (Jazeera Region - DoLAE; Department of Health of Jazeera Region - DoH; Raqqa Committee of Health - CoH) and local municipalities.
