Start Point
Start Point for Development & Consultancy (SPDC) provides capacity development and a broad range of support to the local civil societies actors as well as international actors. This is to strengthen the voice, increase impact and bring about the development of diverse, inclusive, and independent civil society communities.
We believe at SPDC that the best solutions to support the civilians in crisis should be by a quick transformation from rapid response to resilience method, as this approach within humanitarian operations is crucial to the first efforts of a community to recover, rise again, and start to use their capacity. To do that, we seek to build a bridge between the local and international actors for a better response and rehabilitation at later stages.
SPDC aims to work in many countries closely with civilians like IDPs, Refugees, Returnees, host communities, local initiatives, local NGOs, INGOs, and governments. For that, SPDC has hired all needed experts, skills, and tools necessary for the SPDC mandate in resilience and organization development. Furthermore, SPDC always seeks to increase its geographical coverage areas in the world to reach the most vulnerable civilian groups and work with them hand in hand for a better sustainable life.
Syria Development
Syria Development Centre is an enterprise founded and run by Syrians, for Syria. As refugees, migrants, and dual nationals in world-leading academic centers and corporations we founded this center to take an active role in development, as it happens in Syria. Founded in Oxford, UK, in 2021, our dedication to the country brought us together to provide our services as Syria transitions along the humanitarian-development-peace nexus. Non-governmental actors, public decision makers, and business leaders, continuously need to be well informed of the reality of the risks facing their interventions, through the stages of planning, design, implementation, and assessment. In one of the most challenging contexts in the world, limited access, quality, and availability of data impedes development initiatives of all scales. We provide our services to change this reality.
