Impact helps CSOs reject hate speech and build peace in Syria. They held a 2-day workshop in Qamishli for 10 partner organizations to deconstruct misinformation. This led to local initiatives aimed at protecting civil work and mitigating social tension at this critical stage.

Rami and Leen, activists dialed-in from Syria: we need more details on what is targeted/affected by sanctions and how to avoid their negative impact on civil society, to be able to deal with them

[IMPACT - Civil society research and development @impactcsrd]

Dr.Daher: We need to be clear about our political goals from implementing the sanctions as a policy. I’m not against the sanctions as a tool of accountability but we also need to acknowledge the financial pressure they will put on the Syrian community as a whole and civil society

[IMPACT - Civil society research and development @impactcsrd]

@KahaleSalma donors and INGOs need to share the risks with the local organizations and not delegate those risks to the locals.

an activist from Syria: challenges include, political polarization, changing of donor priorities, lack of communication with donors and negative impression and stereotypes

[IMPACT - Civil society research and development @impactcsrd]

Dr. Daher: Syrian regime has been imprisoning any opposition prior to 2011. Working in Syria was never an easy task. We need to try our best to continue working (or supporting) the people who are still active in government held areas in Syria.

[IMPACT - Civil society research and development @impactcsrd]

@KahaleSalma: it’s important for us to figure out the nuances to protest the notion that we can’t work in Syria. It’s probably a very limited civic space, but that’s why we need to support the small local initiatives so we don’t abandon the space available no matter how small.
