PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Context
In recent years, the Syrian war has caused over 2.9 million people to flee to Turkey. The acceptance of these refugees, combined with high inflation and currency depreciation, has exacerbated socioeconomic problems in Turkey – particularly in the southeastern region. Earthquakes in February 2023 have further exacerbated the situation there: there are limited income opportunities, rising unemployment, enormous poverty, and slower economic growth. This places additional strain on social protection systems.
Objective
Employment prospects for refugees and residents in the host Turkish communities have improved.
Approach
The project integrates employers and employees into its measures. It includes particularly vulnerable groups and focuses on developing vocational training and skills.
The project promotes formal employment and supports micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) with, for example, advice and access to finance. It also focuses on helping unregistered companies and business owners register their businesses.
Social cohesion and gender equality are integral to all project activities. The project cooperates through initiatives, partnerships, development projects, and the exchange of best practices with various stakeholders from the public and private sectors, non-governmental organizations, academia, chambers of commerce, municipalities, and business associations.
The project is being implemented within the framework of the Middle East Employment Initiative (BONO) and the Special Initiative for Refugees and Host Countries (SI GA) of the German Fede
