Year-end Overview
Plan Overview
Working environment
With the crisis in Syria entering its seventh year, Turkey remains the largest refugee hosting country with almost 3.3 million individuals. The Government provides protection and assistance to all people of concern in Turkey, 90 per cent of whom are living in urban settings. Turkey has made continuous progress in improving its asylum framework, and clarifying the roles and responsibilities of State institutions in the provision of rights and services. Such progress is anticipated to continue.
UNHCR’s overall strategy is to further strengthen national ownership of the response in Turkey. To achieve this, UNHCR will continue to support the Government’s coordination efforts for the overall response with the aim of providing refugees, irrespective of nationality and status, with quality services through government run systems, particularly for people with specific needs. While UNHCR’s strategy focuses on urban refugees, UNHCR will continue assisting the Government in addressing needs of refugees in camps when needed.
Key priorities
In 2018, UNHCR will focus on:
- Supporting the capacity of national institutions, with a focus on the Directorate General for Migration Management and the Ministry of Family and Social Policies;
- Promoting access to protection; by pursuing the adoption of national protection-sensitive border management tools, improving access to legal remedies and assistance and advocating for UNHCR access to people of concern in removal and detention centres;
- Supporting the empowerment of urban refugees, through higher education, livelihoods and basic needs interventions, and community-based mobilization.
