Syria

A nation of 25.6 million rebuilding after fourteen years of conflict, where the World Bank estimates reconstruction at $216 billion and returned with $245 million in new financing in 2026.

Perfect Nations values what Syria owns and raises capital against it, through innovative financing for development (FfD) and super intelligence (SI).

Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Syria. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures

Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking; where electricity per person is not published, clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group (US$8.30 a day for high-income nations). Each figure links to its source. For Syria, the delivery test (12 November 2026): Energy takes the lower of these and the share of national demand the grid actually serves, from Petra and Syrian Ministry of Energy.

Solutions for Perfect Syria

All Solutions

  • The Solution for SyriaEducation

    Finance learning, not only classrooms.

    • 01The challenge57.3% Of young people in Syria do not complete lower secondary school. World Bank, 2024
    • 02The dealProgram-for-Results, proved in Tanzania, 2021: $588M for primary school learning. World Bank, project P169380
    • 03What Perfect Nations advisesNations where education is furthest from reach should borrow on a Program-for-Results basis, releasing each tranche only when pupils reach an agreed learning level, verified independently. With super intelligence, reading levels can be tracked school by school, so that every child who falls behind is reached in time.

Perfect Nations® · Letters to the NationsSyria

Dear Syria,

You are rebuilding after fourteen years of conflict, at a cost the World Bank counts at more than two hundred billion dollars.

Your farmland, your ancient cities and your people abroad are still yours. Fewer than half of your young people complete lower secondary school. Rebuild the schools first, and the rest will be rebuilt by those who learn in them.

“Rebuild the schools first. Those who learn in them will rebuild the rest.”

Yours in design,Preeti SinhaPresident and CEO, Perfect Nations
