The Diaspora and the Return

Millions of Syrians live abroad today, from the neighbouring region to Europe, the Americas and the Gulf, and many follow the rebuilding day by day. This community carries professional expertise, capital and networks that make it a natural partner in the coming phase.

The decision to return is rarely a single decision. It is a set of practical considerations: housing, work, reliable basic services and schooling for children. Taking part does not necessarily mean full return either; contributions range from remote investment to professional visits and the transfer of know-how.

This poll asks the diaspora directly: what would bring the return decision closer, and how do you prefer to take part today? The answers help the platform and its partners understand the priorities of this essential community.
