Since conflict erupted in March 2011, 11.7 million Syrians have been displaced, either within Syria or in neighboring countries and beyond. More than half a million have been killed, a third of the country’s housing stock has been damaged, economic development has been set back some 40 years, and millions of children have been deprived of schooling. Unemployment in Syria is rampant, and some 80% of the population lives on less than US$3.10 a day, leaving millions of youth who came of age during the war susceptible to recruitment by violent extremist organizations.
The war in Syria has largely come to an end, except in Idlib and other territorial pockets not under control of the Syrian government. Through successive military advances and surrender agreements over the course of 2018, the Syrian government and its allies have all but eliminated the potential for regime change by force and have reasserted government authority over most of its territory.
The transformed conflict requires peacebuilding efforts that acknowledge the reality of the Syrian government’s standing while leveraging possible incremental change and eventual full-scale recovery for the whole of Syria, inclusive of all Syrian territory and citizens.
Having been engaged in Syria since before 2011, The Carter Center has long-term relationships with all stakeholders and is uniquely capable of building trust among Syrians and between Syrians and the international community. The Carter Center's work in Syria is designed to bring stakeholders together to develop visions for a political resolution to the conflict and to channel their ideas to top-level mediation processes. The Center also monitors, documents, and analyzes levels of violence throughout the country. The Center’s advantages and long-standing promotion of realistic policy goals in Syria make it particularly well-placed to meet current peacebuilding needs for purposes of reforms, the peaceful reintegration of the country, economic recovery, reconstruction, and refugee return.
Currently, the Support for Peace in Syria Initiative proceeds along two interrelated lines: conflict transformation dialogue and conflict research, analysis, and documentation.
The Carter Center's work in Syria is designed to bring stakeholders together to develop visions for negotiated reforms, and to promote informed, constructive engagement through dialogue and consultations among Syrians across multiple divides and with international representatives from the U.S., Russia, Europe, and the Middle East. Workshops and consultations organized by the Center have sought to address contentious issues, bridge communication gaps among different components of Syrian society, and develop new, innovative ideas for conflict transformation.
Issues addressed in workshops have included requirements for reconstruction, constitutional and governance options, administrative decentralization, majority/minority concerns, the role of religion in Syria, gender issues, property rights, and more. The Carter Center’s results of these Syrian-led dialogues have been shared with Track 1, 2, and 3 stakeholders.
In 2019, in an attempt to contribute to a new policy debate on the Syrian conflict, The Carter Center launched a research and dialogue project that aims to find a framework for conflict transformation in Syria. This work to date has focused on the leveraging of sanctions and on positive steps by the Syrian government. A key objective for the Center is to change the policy conversation around Syria so that policymakers understand the harm and limitations that sanctions and isolation are exacting and can begin to build an approach that uses sanctions as a potentially transformational, rather than punitive, tool through a process of sanctions adjustment.
The activities of the initiative are guided by the following objectives: (1) Well-informed dialogue amongst key Syria stakeholders, including the international community, the government of Syria, the opposition, and civil society, through knowledge production and strengthened relationships; and (2) International and national political momentum around actions for positive steps in Syria and incremental sanctions adjustment. The aim of the Center’s initiative is to encourage the government of Syria to agree to take positive steps and to address the humanitarian and socio-political needs of Syrians, including the return of refugees.

Through the analysis of open-source information related to the Syrian conflict and consultations with stakeholders on the ground, the Center has documented and mapped over 200,000 conflict events in Syria, as well as the changing relations between thousands of armed groups and their areas of control, and front-line changes throughout the conflict. Together, this information has allowed the Center to provide mediators and humanitarian responders with up-to-date, detailed analysis of developments throughout Syria.
More than 450 humanitarians, diplomats, partners, and other subscribers receive the Center’s weekly conflict incident reports, along with quarterly, deep-dive analysis. European special envoys for Syria have encouraged the Center to continue and deepen its analysis of potential and alternative conflict-resolution avenues as the Center brings a unique perspective from more than a decade of engagement in Syria.
To request access to data on areas of control, or general information, please email [email protected]. You can subscribe to weekly updates by clicking here.
Since the onset of the uprising in March 2011, and the subsequent devolution into a catastrophic conflict, the Center has expanded its efforts to support a political solution in Syria.
