Ihsan for Relief and Development, an organization under the umbrella of the Syrian Forum, has just completed the data collection phase of the on-going needs assessment in Lattakia, led by the Needs Assessment Department. The objective of the multi-sectoral assessment is to identify the major gaps in the non-government controlled area in order to build adequate projects in response. The Ihsan team on the ground began the assessment after receiving a in-depth training on tools and methodology. The assessment was gathered information from heads of relief committees, heads of hospitals, school managements, random sample of civilians as well as well-known leaders of the community.
