Procurement of Hessian Sacks for 2015 Wheat Crops in the Governorates of Aleppo, Dar’a and Idleb
Since the start of the revolution, Syria’s agriculture sector has weakened considerably. Violence and misappropriations have destroyed vast swaths of farmland, while militia checkpoints and a deteriorating infrastructure have significantly hampered the transportation, distribution, and sale of harvested crops. Furthermore, regime strikes have deeply compromised grain storage facilities; this has undermined farmers’ ability to store crops after ha...
Support to the National Wheat Procurement Project in Aleppo, Dar’a and Idleb Governorates
Syria’s wheat production in the 2014 was down 50% of the 10-year-average, namely 1 million tons per year, according to FAO estimates. To meet basic consumption needs, the Syrian Public Establishment for Grains (SPEG) estimated that Syrians require at least an additional quantity of 250,000 – 300,000 tons of imported wheat. Subsequently the SIG declared food security achievement a national priority, urging for immediate action to remedy supply sho...
Rehabilitation and Expansion of the Electricity Grid of a Town in Aleppo Governorate
The low voltage grid in the selected township is old and in need of rehabilitation. It also needs to be expanded due to recent urbanization and an increasing number of internally displaced persons. Furthermore, the township was indirectly affected by air strikes that led to the burning of many transformers, circuit cutters, cables, aerial conductors, fuses, poles holding the grid, and other relevant equipment. Due to a lack of spare parts, equi...
Storage and Milling Support to the National Wheat Programme
In the next 12 months, the Syrian population will face major problems related to food security. As of June 2014, there is a concrete risk that harvested wheat is bought by traders that later on speculate on its price (thus causing rapid price fluctuations). Without any grain reserves, there is a serious risk that food insecurity may lead to acute malnutrition, or even starvation, and spread of diseases with fatal consequences. This project addr...
