This assessment report is the sixth regional external assessment of UNFPA humanitarian programming in the Syrian and Arab States region (incorporating responses to the Syria crisis within Türkiye and cross-border from Türkiye to Syria and UNFPA humanitarian responses in Sudan and Yemen) to report on the impact on women, girls, boys, and men that UNFPA programming has had, across sexual and reproductive health (SRH), gender-based violence (GBV) and youth programmes. This 2022 assessment builds upon the previous annual impact assessments from 2016 onwards, tracking the evolution of programming through the evolution of the Syrian crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, and for 2022, incorporation of UNFPA humanitarian response work in the countries of Sudan and Yemen.

The findings of the assessment are intended to inform UNFPA programmes, with the overall aim of enhancing the services that UNFPA provides. These findings will also be considered when designing new programmes or amending existing programmes. This report also informs the donor community to gain a better understanding of UNFPA’s operations in both the Syria regional response and the wider Arab States region.

The 2022 Impact Assessment builds on the established methodology of the 2021 Impact Assessment which rationalised and systematised the different tools and questions previously used to conduct research among three types of service delivery points (SDPs) with three primary research tools: Client Feedback Forms (CFFs) among attendees at services, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) among attendees at services and Key Informant Interviews (KII) with institutional stakeholders – partners, service providers, UNFPA staff. The table below summarises the number of each type of research tool applied.
