RIYADH: Saudi Arabia and Qatar are providing $89 million of financial aid to support public-sector workers in the Syrian Arab Republic for three months.
The money will help ensure essential services for the Syrian people are maintained and to boost budgets, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Wednesday. It also aims to improve, in cooperation with the UN Development Programme, opportunities for people to build sustainable livelihoods, and to encourage inclusive economic recovery.
The aid marks an important step in supporting the creation of vital opportunities for Syria and its people, officials said, and through the use of international development cooperation to achieve sustainable development goals and enhance economic growth in the country.
