Working environment Regional instability in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Syrian Arab Republic (Syria) has led to continuous arrivals ofrefugees to Turkey. Although the national infrastructure is severely stretched to accommodate the needs ofsuch a large number of refugees, the Turkish population continued to demonstrate solidarity and generosityin receiving people in need of international protection. The Government of Turkey continued to lead the response to protect and assist all persons of concern. Despite generous Government policies, and support from UNHCR and its partners, responding to the largenumber of asylum-seekers and refugees continued to create challenges. Additional support from theinternational community is required to address gaps to improve access to livelihood opportunities, health andeducation services.
Population TrendsIn 2015, Turkey hosted 2.5 million Syrian refugees and over 250,000 refugees of other nationalities. Nearly90 per cent of Syrians and all non-Syrian refugees live in host communities. An increasing number of peoplefrom various nationalities also transited through Turkey to Europe.
Achievements and impactStrengthened the implementation of the national asylum framework at all levels; Provided equipment to increase the national capacity in registration, education and health care;Scaled up education support, focusing on supporting the integration of refugee children into nationaleducation system, Turkish language courses and access to higher education;Distributed core relief items and cash assistance, prioritizing vulnerable urban refugees;Funded nine community centres, nine child-friendly spaces, seven women centres in urban areas, andcovered 36 satellite cities through partner presence to expand urban outreach;Supported authorities in Western Turkey to implement activities targeting people transiting through Turkey.
Unmet needs The availability of protection-sensitive data is limited, which compromised UNHCR’s outreach capacity andeffective targeting of protection and assistance interventions.Insufficient funding resulted in limited coverage in meeting needs across all refugee groups. This wascompounded by the geographical spread of the refugee population, making access difficult.The Office continued to support the Government in the management of the largest RSD and resettlementprogramme among UNHCR’s operations globally. The increasing number of non-Syrian asylum-seekersplaced additional strains on UNHCR’s resources, resulting in a prolonged waiting period for strategic RSD.
