Special funding for Syria

Our special funding for Syria is aimed at partnerships between German non-profit healthcare institutions or non-governmental organisations and Syrian partner institutions in the healthcare sector. In order to implement needs-based hospital partnerships in Syria, we focus on the expertise and network of the Syrian medical diaspora working in Germany.

Project application and procedure

If you would like to submit an application for a German-Syrian hospital partnership, you can download an information sheet on the requirements at the bottom of this page. The required project application documents can be found in the application portal for special funding for Syria.

Upon receipt, the Hospital Partnerships team will review your project proposal and check whether it fulfils the formal requirements. If necessary, we will comment on your proposal so that you can revise it in order to develop an application that is eligible for funding.

Please understand that the assessment of incoming project proposals takes time. Please refrain from enquiring about the processing status. Our team will get in touch with you in due course.

Our team will be happy to answer any other questions you may have: klinikpartnerschaften@giz.de.
