The Brussels II Conference had the opportunity to gather political support for the UN-led peace process.
The conference succeeded in mobilising humanitarian aid to Syrians inside the country and in the neighbouring countries, including for hosting communities, through pledges totalling $ 4.4 billion (€ 3.5 billion) for 2018, as well as multi-year pledges of $ 3.4 billion (€ 2.7 billion) for 2019- 2020.
As the Syrian war enters its eighth year, the humanitarian needs continue to be extremely high. Over 13 million Syrians are now in need of humanitarian assistance, and more than 5.6 million Syrian refugees are displaced outside the country.
The co-chaired adopted a joint declaration, including several annexes on supporting the resilience of host countries and refugees in the context of the Syrian crisis. The declaration reaffirmed the commitment to increase focus and resources to establish long-term development policies. It remains critical to support the most vulnerable from both groups refugees and host communities through cash assistance and enhanced social protection mechanisms.
