The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has issued an invitation to bid for the rehabilitation of Al Naqab School, located in the Yarmouk area of Damascus Governorate. This tender forms part of the Agency's ongoing phased programme to restore its educational infrastructure in Yarmouk following extensive damage sustained during years of armed conflict.

Scope of Works

The required rehabilitation works encompass the restoration of the school building in accordance with UNRWA's technical and safety standards, with the aim of accommodating the growing number of students returning to the Yarmouk area. Works are expected to include structural repairs, internal refurbishment, and the rehabilitation of utility networks necessary for the school's full operation.

Issuing Authority

UNRWA is a specialised United Nations agency responsible for delivering education, health, relief, and social services to Palestine refugees across Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. Procurement for this tender is managed by the Agency's Field Procurement and Logistics Office in Syria.

Context in Yarmouk

Yarmouk is the largest Palestine refugee community in Syria. All 23 UNRWA installations inside the camp, including 16 school buildings, sustained damage or destruction as a result of the conflict. Since 2020, UNRWA has been implementing a phased rehabilitation plan to restore these facilities and use them as service hubs for returning residents. By early 2025, the camp's population had reached approximately 15,300 people.
