The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) increased ability of Syrian NGOs including victims or survivors and families’ groups and women-led NGOs to fight impunity; and (2) increased ability of stakeholders including Syrian NGOs state actors and international NGOs to highlight influence and use alternative forms of accountability against perpetrators of financial crimes in Syria.
