The Independent Institution is mandated to provide adequate support to survivors and the families of those missing. Support efforts will focus on ensuring effective and meaningful participation of families, survivors, and civil society in the work of the Institution and providing support to families searching for missing relatives.  

This will include implementing a comprehensive participation and outreach strategy, developing a protocol for family participation in search efforts, appointing and initiating an Advisory Board, developing, coordinating, and launching a support strategy and referral system to provide psychosocial support, healthcare services, and legal assistance in Syria and abroad.
