FAO's transition from humanitarian projects to resilience long-term programming has been a positive evolution of programming in the Syrian Arab Republic. This shift has resulted in noteworthy, widespread, and at scale outcomes among vulnerable smallholder farmers. FAO through the programme has demonstrated approaches that can be replicated to support the transformation of agriculture in the Syrian Arab Republic to a decentralized and locally led system. Adopting an area-based approach may have enabled programme activities to be more mutually re-enforcing and potentially created a multiplier effect. Greater consideration of an exit strategy that lays the foundation for sustainability at community level is required and alternative funding partners should be sought for institutional capacity development in resilience to ensure sustainability.
