EU Regional Trust Fund in Response to the Syrian Crisis Four years into its creation, the EU Regional Trust Fund in Response to the Syrian Crisis has proven its added value beyond economies of scale and the pooling of funds. To date, the Trust Fund has mobilised €1.6 billion, including voluntary contributions from 22 EU Member States and Turkey. Large programmes focusing on education, livelihoods, health, protection, and the water sector – benefitting refugees, IDPs and local communities - have been approved by the Fund’s Board, for a total of more than €1.5 billion. Of this, more than €1.2 billion have been contracted in over 63 projects to the Trust Fund’s implementing partners on the ground, now reaching 1.9 million beneficiaries.
