Conclusions
• The STI System in Syria is Not Functioning well.• Regarding STI Indicators :• There is a problem of Data Collection, due to lack
of information and lack of motivation,…• There is a problem of Common Understanding
and Use of the same Indicators.• Our mission at the HCSR is
– to make STI indicators , but also– to help to make them get Better .

HCSR Activities of proposed plans for each sector are suggested to be
placed in three stages according to their priorities and urgency:
First stage (up to two years) to meet urgent, short term
development needs.
The second stage (up to 5 years) to meet medium term
development needs.
The third stage (up to 10 years) to meet long term development
needs.
