This Participatory community plan for the District of Kadi Askar in the City of Aleppo describes the comprehensive and holistic approach to recovery that UNDP Syria is pursuing as part of its early recovery and resilience-building assistance to the people of Syria. The community recovery plan is a result of a collective process that allowed local authorities and communities to develop capacities and work in a more intersectoral way bringing together Aleppo Governorate, Local Council, and line directorates to discuss about priorities and joint interventions in specific areas for the first time.

One of the main purposes of this locally led process is to reinforce the resilience and coherence of Kadi Askar neighbourhoods through comprehensive responses that are authentically driven by the priorities of the local communities to break down the root barriers against meeting their basic needs and improving the socio-economic situation in their neighbourhood. 

The community recovery plan for the District of Kadi Askar is premised on the following four pillars: responsive local institutions, community organisation, infrastructure and basic services, and economic vitality. The four pillars are proposed to organize and structure, in a more inter-sectorial and multidisciplinary way, the findings of the different analyses conducted for the target neighbourhoods.
