We were interviewed on BBC Radio Cumbria on 4 February to talk about the London donors conference and our experience with the previous day's 3 February civil society organisations conference. We mentioned our gratitude for the efforts of donor countries, but stressed that this is not enough as long as the root cause of the conflict is not being addressed.
We attended the 3 February London Civil Society Organisations (CSO) Conference in the lead-up to the 4 February London Donors conference. Over 200 CSOs were represented, some of which were Syrian. As an organisation, we stressed the issues of civilian protection as well as Syrian leadership in identifying funding priorities and in implementing projects on the ground.
