Minister of Public Works and Housing Mustafa Abdul Razzaq held talks with Olaf Becker, Director of UNRWA Affairs in Syria, on ways to enhance cooperation and coordination in reconstruction projects and the rehabilitation of service facilities, and to unify technical standards in line with the Ministry’s vision.
He noted that both sides presented an overview of the work sectors and ongoing projects during the meeting held at the Ministry building, and discussed cooperation opportunities through institutions affiliated with the Ministry, vocational training centers, as well as exchanging technical expertise and information, including the post-disaster building damage assessment guide.
Both sides agreed to designate a focal point for coordinating the exchange of data and technical standards, and to continue communication on areas of joint cooperation, contributing to the unification of work methodologies and coordination of efforts. Minister Abdul Razzaq emphasized during the meeting the importance of integrating efforts between government institutions, organizations, and the private sector at this stage.
These efforts are crucial given the need to rehabilitate infrastructure and service facilities in Syria, and to enhance technical expertise and available capacities, thereby supporting the recovery and reconstruction path and improving services provided to citizens. Previously, on January 15, Minister of Public Works and Housing Mustafa Abdul Razzaq discussed the reconstruction process and priority setting with the World Bank technical mission, particularly in the most damaged areas and those with high population density, and possible solutions for the stalled housing file.
