Introduction
This assessment of Dar’a and Quneitra was conducted by CARE in partnership with NRC, and RFSAN/FAO (iMMAP) from August to October 2015, and reveals the impact of the crisis on rural and urban communities in southern Syria and the subsequent needs of the people affected. The survey was conducted at the household level, collecting details from farmers, livestock herders, and owners of small businesses. Special attention was given to more vulnerable households such as internally displaced people, people with disabilities, large families, and single/female headed households. Access was at times difficult as the active engagement between fighting parties runs through both governorates and posed a security threat to enumerators.
