PARTNERSHIP IN ACTION – UNDP AND UNHCR COOPERATION ON FORCED DISPLACEMENT AND STATELESSNESS ARAB STATES AND EUROPE THE REGIONAL REFUGEE AND RESILIENCE PLAN (3RP) TO THE SYRIA CRISIS The Regional Refugee and Resilience Plan (3RP) is co-led by UNDP and UNHCR. It combines humanitarian and development responses for five countries hosting Syrian refugees – Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Türkiye. The 3RP provides 270 partners a platform for coordination, planning, advocacy, fundraising and programming. Between 2015 and 2023, the 3RP channelled over US$24 billion from more than 20 donors. The 3RP was the first multi-agency partnership to operate on such a scale with the purpose of addressing strategic and structural issues resulting from a protracted crisis, and with an approach of integrating humanitarian and development responses. The Joint Secretariat has overseen the processes of producing and advising on the overall regional and country-level plans, and developed a wide range of research and operational guidance notes. Recent examples include a report on social cohesion and dynamics between host communities and refugees, with recommendations on how social cohesion approaches can be strengthened, and an accompanying Guidance Note. In 2022, the 3RP published a report on how to maintain environmental sustainability and clean energy access. It highlighted the links between ecological fragility and humanitarian and development needs, and made recommendations. © UNDP Syria - Abdalmalek Alabdalaa In 2024, the 13th year of the Syria crisis, the 3RP aims to benefit 6.3 million refugees, asylumseekers, and stateless persons and 6.6 million host community members. An independent evaluation in 2022 outlined the achievements and areas of improvements, with clear steps taken to implement the recommendations. The 3RP is governed by a MoU which provided for the creation of a Joint Secretariat.
