Citizen priorities
Citizens' ranking of priorities: security, livelihood, services, justice
Current value
No figure of ours is published yet. The value is released with its full methodology - and with the response rate, however uncomfortable.
Comparative reference
References we measure against: Syria in Transition - no nationally representative figure with a published methodology exists, so our first wave sets the baseline.
Context figure
For 51% of Syrians the top concern is political/security
Arab Opinion Index in Syria (n=3,690) - Aug 2025 - source
A context figure, not a comparable reference: A general concern ranking; we will measure a fixed-item priority ranking with a share per item.
