Join the network: “A New Beginning for Syria”
In December 2024, the people of Syria toppled the government of President Bashar al-Assad. A transitional government has been formed. It is headed by the leader of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which is one of the main opposition militias that toppled the former government using military means. It is uncertain what the future may hold for the country following the change in power. One thing, however, is very clear: a window of opportunity has opened for positive developments in Syria. The Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is prepared and ready to support Syrian society in making a fresh start, and to assist in building a country that guarantees security, freedom and basic rights for all its citizens.
Many individuals and representatives of civil society, municipalities, academia and the private sector wish to support the new beginning in Syria. The BMZ therefore launched a platform called “A New Beginning for Syria”. Through that platform, we would like to inform you about Germany's development work for and in Syria and about ways in which you can get involved.
