| 12 | Acknowledging Article 25 of the Declaration of Human Rights, “ everyone has the right to a |
| 13 | standard of living adequate for health and well-being of himself, and of his family, including food, |

| 22 | basic dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, access to knowledge and a |
| 23 | decent standard of living. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Urging the United Nations to contribute 10 million U.S. dollars to add a 5 year Micro-Loan program |

| 32 | |
| 33 | The program will take place in four cities: Axum Tigray, Makele, Gondar, and Desc; the following |

| 35 | economic bonds. |
| 36 | The delegation of Syria hereby requests support from the United Nations: |
| 37 | |
| 38 | The UN will finance the project to support women’s public health in Syria. This will require a total |
| 39 | contribution of 140 Million USD from the UN. This money will be distributed through the |
| 40 | collaboration of The United Nations Country Team (UNCT) and the UN Strategic Framework (UNSF) |
| 41 | in Syria. These two organizations have the job of taking into account the dire need for assistance |
| 42 | involving the humanitarian needs of the Syrian people and ensuring a principled approach to the |
| 43 | delivery of UN aid; |
| 44 | |
| 45 | The budget will be split into three main sectors: |
| 46 | |
| 47 | An investment of $15 million used for the building of approximately 3 medical education centers |
| 48 | tailored for women across Syria, however, the funding will also make sure that these facilities are |
| 49 | supplied with adequate facilities, basic medical education programs, and a nurturing environment, |
| 50 | fostering gender equality and significantly improving healthcare access for all; |
| 51 | |
| 52 | The allocation of $75 million USD will be dedicated to the construction of approximately 100 |
| 53 | healthcare facilities dispersed all across Syria.. This funding will include not only the expenses |
| 54 | associated with facility construction but also the operational costs, essential medical and personal |
| 55 | supplies, and the building of the healthcare facility. This will also provide employment |
| 56 | opportunities to female practitioners; |
| 57 | |
| 58 | The remaining $50 million USD will go towards the support of women's education. This will include |
| 59 | the tuition fees, living fees, textbooks, supplies, internships, licensing, and examination costs. This |
| 60 | funding will ensure the support needed for women to be employed in the medical workforce; |
| 61 | |
| 62 | The UN will revisit the funding of this resolution for clauses B and C in 10 years: |
| 63 | |
| 64 | Trust the UN to enact this resolution on January 1st, 2024; |
