The current operational strategy for Premiere Urgence Internationale (PUI) in Syria is to alleviate the
human suffering of the Syrian people in Syria by delivering sound, needs-based humanitarian
assistance, while promoting a life-sustaining response. PUI's positioning on, shelter, education,
livelihoods, and WaSH sectors remain a priority.

- Rehabilitation of collective and private shelters
- Rehabilitation of infrastructure
- Emergency and Early Recovery WASH interventions
- Education support for conflict-affected populations (remedial classes, school rehabilitation, free
exam preparations, summer class activities, community based initiatives and psycho social support),
- Enhancement of the Population of Syria self-reliance through livelihoods (vocational training course,
provision of a professional tool kit ((PTK))
