Regional Refugee & Resilience Plan
The Regional Refugee & Resilience Plan (3RP) is a strategic, coordination, planning, advocacy, fundraising, and programming platform for humanitarian and development partners to respond to the Syria crisis. It comprises one regional plan, with four standalone country chapters covering Türkiye, Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt.
The 3RP is co-led by both UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency and the United Nations Development Programme – UNDP.
Now, in the fifteenth year of the crisis, the region faces increasing economic, social, and political challenges, compounded by new large-scale emergencies with regional implications that heighten the needs of both refugees and their host communities.

Population Targeted in 2025
In 2015, the Regional Refugee and Resilience Plan (3RP) was established in response to the Syria crisis. Now, in the fifteenth year of the crisis, the 3RP continues to lead the international community’s support for national efforts to address the ongoing impact of the situation.
About the 3RP
2023 Key Figures
Introduction to the 3RP
01
Protecting PeopleProtecting vulnerable individuals, including displaced persons, is essential for safety from exploitation, violence, and mental health risks. The 3RP emphasizes this protection in all its activities, empowering all demographics to drive their development, ensuring stable mental and social conditions, and making sure no one is left behind.
02
Supporting Durable SolutionsOpportunities for enabling pathways towards durable solutions are urgently needed to allow refugees a purpose for the future that provides hope and dignity. The 3RP works towards three possible durable solutions in line with international standards and frameworks: voluntary repatriation to Syria; resettlement to third countries; and local solutions and opportunities. The approach and activities vary based on the context of each 3RP country.
03
Contributing to Dignified LivesThrough displacement and the surrounding pressures from various crises, refugees and vulnerable host populations face multiple challenges, including high levels of poverty, unemployment, and food insecurity, as well as increased protection-related needs, particularly those related to legal status, gender, age and disability, especially among the vulnerable individuals.
04
Enhancing Local and National CapacitiesWith over a decade of humanitarian assistance to refugees and very low numbers of returns to Syria, investing in sustainable solutions is increasingly becoming a high priority. This involves collaborating with stakeholders at all levels for economic growth, job creation, and benefits for both host countries and refugees. 3RP’s approach also strengthens national systems and fosters trust in the public sector while maintaining social cohesion.
The 3RP Model
The 3RP is the first multi-UN agency partnership operating at such scale towards addressing strategic and structural issues resulting from a crisis. It is seen as a model and precursor to the Global Compact on Refugees as well as linked to other significant international frameworks. Integral to the 3RP is its integration of humanitarian and development-based responses into one cohesive plan for the region, which includes the major host countries receiving Syrian refugees: Türkiye, Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt.
At the regional level, the 3RP is a coordination mechanism and regional strategy that is based on national plans and processes. Bringing together around 230 humanitarian and development partners at the country and regional level, the 3RP’s comprehensive approach has successfully channelled over USD 25 billion through the plan since its inception. Additionally, the 3RP recognizes actors that operate beyond the 3RP structures but are involved in Syria crisis response such as International Financial Intuitions and bi-lateral development partners who provide support to the host governments’ efforts to ensure they can continue supporting refugees and affected host communities.
Linkages
The 3RP continues to explore synergies between humanitarian and development processes, including with ongoing current global processes, such as the Global Compact on Refugees and the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Linkages of 3RP and SDGs:
I.
3RP partners work together towards ensuring an effective and equitable access of both refugees and host communities to education, health, sanitation and other key socio-economic goods, services and infrastructures as well as to sustainable livelihoods opportunities (SDG 1 to 11).
3RP interventions contribute to a wide range of SDGs and targets, e.g.:
- In some countries, interventions already seek to address broader sustainable development challenges such as environmental and ecological vulnerabilities (SDG 15), while ongoing efforts to expand protection, strengthen capacities of national and local institutions, and promote social cohesion and stability in affected communities are of direct significance to SDG 16.
Global Compact on
Refugees (GCR)
Linkages of 3RP and GCR:
I.
The GCR was largely inspired by the model and experience of the 3RP, which has been in place over six years prior to the GCR
II.
The GCR was to a large extent shaped by experiences in the MENA region and with Syrian refugees
III.
The 3RP and 3RP countries measure progress towards the GCR through three interconnected periodic review initiatives references in the GCR, including: 1) reviews of the GCR indicator framework, which is integrated into 3RP monitoring and reporting; 2) progress towards implementing pledges and initiatives announced at the Global Refugee Forum (GFR); and 3) the exercise on measuring the impact of hosting, protecting, and supporting refugees
2025 Guidance Kit
The Guidance Kit comprises both Guidance Notes and Reference Documents. Access to this section is limited to 3RP partners only. To obtain access, please reach out.
3RP Advocacy Key Messages
The 3RP brings together civil society organizations (CSOs) and UN agencies to highlight the ongoing Syrian refugee crisis and the critical need for sustained donor and government support.
Coinciding with the anniversary of the Syria crisis and the Eighth Brussels Syria Conference, the launch of the 2024 RSO seeks to shape the global narrative, align donor priorities, and inform policy directions for the Syrian refugee response. As co-leads of the 3RP, UNHCR and UNDP emphasize the importance of sustaining the response to ensure socio-economic stability, safeguarding protection measures, and advancing inclusive policies grounded in responsibility-sharing.
Please find here the jointly developed advocacy key messages for the 2024 RSO launch.

Donors
We thank our donors for their generous support for 3RP activities. The work of 3RP partners would not have been possible without the extremely generous support of donors.
As well as member states, 3RP Partners are grateful to private donors, humanitarian funds, foundations, charities and other organizations for their contributions. 3RP Partners would also like to acknowledge the huge contribution of host countries who have contributed to the response in many ways including making their services available to refugee populations, at great expense. The member state donors above are gratefully acknowledged for their contributions.
