- To support the Syrian government in mitigating rural-urban migration, improving sanitary conditions in peripheral regions and reducing imbalances in living conditions between urban and rural areas, the EU supported since 1994 a programme of Water Supply to Bseira & Hama Rural Regions through a grant of € 7.5 million, supplemented by a further grant of € 2.1 million in 1998.
-  It addressed key areas of natural resources and environmental protection as well as of socio-economic development in Syria, in the light of an annual population growth of about 3 % and the exposure of semi-arid zones to climate deterioration.
