The request as filed

What the requester wrote on the intake form

Problem
Forty schools in eastern Aleppo are partly damaged; their pupils are taught in neighbouring schools on double shifts or in prefab classrooms, and some drop out.
Current state
Classes average 52 pupils, 31% of host schools run double shifts, and 14 schools have no safe drinking water or working toilets.
Objective
Rehabilitate the forty schools structurally and equip them with desks, water and solar power, bringing 24,000 pupils back to their own schools by September 2028.
Expected scope
A structural assessment of each school, repair and strengthening works, water and sewer networks, solar panels for lighting, and school furniture, with the Aleppo education directorate.

Expected benefits

Time & speed

Ends double shifts in 31% of host schools

Customer satisfaction

24,000 pupils back in their own schools

Savings

No more renting 60 prefab rooms — about SYP 105M a year

Loose scope in design-build contracts breeds claims

From Hama National Hospital Upgrade & Extension

The contractor claimed SYP 350M for requirements added after concept design: extra intensive-care wards and a revised HVAC system.

Recommendation: Freeze the building’s functional programme with the ministry that will use it before the proposal goes to committee.

Survey the ground before the design freeze

From Sheikh Najjar Industrial City Rehabilitation

Digging found soft soil, groundwater, rubble and undocumented utility lines; the services building’s foundations were redesigned.

Recommendation: Make a geotechnical, utility and rubble survey part of feasibility for any reconstruction on a damaged site.
