Complementary Project for Enhancing Food Security in the North of Aleppo Governorate – Phase VIII

Building on the successes of its previous phases, the Syria Recovery Trust Fund (SRTF) has launched Phase VIII of the Food Security project; “Complementary Project for Enhancing Food Security in the North of Aleppo Governorate”, in coordination with the Syrian Public Establishment for Grains (SPEG). This project aims to improve bread production thereby enhancing food security within the region while reactivating the local economy.

Through its activities, the project is expected to:

• Replenish stocks of soft wheat, ensuring the necessary blend for the mixture (with locally produced hard wheat) to be milled.
• Maintain the availability of wheat.
• Maintain bread availability within the targeted communities.
• Maintain bread prices at affordable levels.

This will be done by implementing the following activities:

• Supplying 6,000 MT of soft wheat.
• Mixing the soft wheat with local Syrian hard wheat.
• Milling the mixture and supplying the milled flour to seven SPEG bakeries, for bread production and distribution.
• Providing technical assistance when necessary.

This is anticipated to:

• Contribute to sustained availability of flour for bread production.
• Increase the quality and quantity of bread produced.
• Maintain affordable bread prices.

With a total budget of EUR 2.15 million, this project is expected to benefit 95,000 individuals every month, over a period of 18 months which includes six months for post-implementation monitoring and evaluation. Additionally, it will benefit thousands of other individuals in the areas of operation through improved food security, the reactivation of the local economy and ensuring long-term sustainability.
