Flexible Partnerships Rooted in Shared Impact
ŞÎLÊR – Crisis Response believes that effective partnerships are built on trust, transparency, and complementary strengths. Whether you’re a donor agency, humanitarian organization, research institution, or technical partner, we tailor our collaborations to fit the context, objectives, and operational realities on the ground.
We welcome both formal and informal engagements—from long-term programmatic cooperation to one-off technical support or resource sharing. Below are several key ways we work with others:
Programmatic Collaboration
Joint design and delivery of health activities such as training programs, mobile outreach, or response to public health crises.
Institutional Funding & Grant Management
Engaging with institutional donors, pooled funding mechanisms, or philanthropic organizations to scale programs aligned with SCR’s strategy.
Technical & Advisory Support
Contributions of expertise in clinical standards, health systems, MEAL, or organizational development. We also offer reciprocal learning opportunities for partners.
Local Authority Coordination
Partnerships with public health directorates and camp authorities to ensure service alignment, data sharing, and integration into local health systems.
In-Kind Contributions*
Provision of medical supplies, logistical equipment, communications tools, or software systems that directly support our work on the ground.
*Note: In-kind contributions must align with our strategic plans. We will evaluate the cost-effectiveness of in-kind donations, including the costs associated with shipment, compared to local procurement options.
A Collaborative, Transparent Approach
Shared Understanding
We begin every partnership by identifying mutual goals, capacities, and constraints—tailored to the context.
Joint Planning & Implementation
Partners contribute where they’re strongest—whether that’s funding, technical input, or implementation support.
Monitoring & Accountability
SCR uses a MEAL framework to track outcomes, share learnings, and ensure both programmatic and financial transparency.
Flexible agreements such as MOUs or sub-grants can be established based on partner preference.
Operating Context and Limitations
ŞÎLÊR – Crisis Response is currently registered and operational in North and East Syria (NES) and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI). However, due to financial system restrictions and shifting administrative requirements, certain funding and cross-border procurement processes may require third-party facilitation.
We are fully transparent about these constraints and work with partners to find secure, compliant solutions that align with donor guidelines.
