About Point

POINT was established by a group of Syrians and is located in Gaziantep, Turkey. As an organic NGO the co-founders of PONT realized the crucial capacity gaps and needs for the Syrian civil society to play a greater role in improving the response to the Syrian crisis and better contribute to the stabilization of their conflict-affected country. POINT provides capacity development to the Syrian local civil society actors as well as local staff in INGOs. This is in order to strengthen their voice, increase their impact and bring about the development of a diverse, inclusive and independent civil society.
