Ryad Shkair

Justice Innovation Scaling and Subgrants Consultant - Syria

I want to see Syria become a place where people can live with dignity, claim their rights, participate freely in public life, and trust that institutions exist to serve them.

Ryad Shkair is a Justice Innovation Scaling and Subgrants Consultant at HiiL, supporting the Syria Justice Innovation Project IV. His work focuses on scaling readiness, Financial Support to Third Parties, partner engagement and risk-informed support to Syrian-led justice initiatives. He holds a Master’s degree in Conflict, Security and Development from the University of Sussex with Distinction, and a Bachelor’s degree in Economics.

He has managed and supported complex programmes with major international donors across protection, WASH, health, food security, education, livelihoods and early recovery, with a strong focus on partnerships, compliance and field realities.
