Mobaderoon has released its 2025 annual report, highlighting the complex landscape facing peacebuilding efforts in Syria. The report emphasizes that Syrian communities are experiencing exceptional circumstances necessitating a delicate balance between addressing urgent humanitarian needs and advancing national reconciliation and sustainable peacebuilding paths.
The report noted that the protracted conflict, deep social divisions, and the absence of a shared vision for the future remain the primary obstacles to achieving comprehensive peace. These challenges are exacerbated by the difficulties local initiatives encounter in reaching the most affected populations, particularly in unstable and high-risk areas.
A Pivotal Year for Strategic Recalibration
Against this backdrop, 2025 marked a crucial turning point for Mobaderoon to recalibrate its strategic direction. Mobaderoon made a conscious strategic decision to prioritize institutional continuity over expansion, operating within a highly complex political, security, and financial environment.
The year was characterized by declining donor appetite, shifting priorities among international actors, and heightened operational risks across Syria and the region.
Phase Priorities: Protection and Reinforcement
Rather than pursuing quantitative growth, Mobaderoon focused its efforts on core pillars to ensure its resilience and effectiveness:
Institutional Sustainability: Ensuring Mobaderoon’s survival and operational capacity.
Strengthening Governance and Compliance: Enhancing management efficiency and adherence to professional standards.
Strategic Repositioning: Adapting Mobaderoon to field-level developments.
Safeguarding Trust and Legitimacy: Consolidating Mobaderoon’s credibility among communities and partners.
These choices reflect a conscious adaptation to an evolving and unstable reality, making 2025 a year dedicated to protecting the institution, reinforcing its credibility, and preparing for the forthcoming phases of Syria’s transition.
