WFP Turkiye provides humanitarian assistance to nearly 1.6 million vulnerable persons in 2023, in the form of in-kind and cash-based transfers. Our beneficiaries remain at the very heart of everything we do in Turkiye.

Around 63,000 of the most vulnerable of them live in eight camps in the southeast, while the majority live in cities and villages throughout the country. The Government of Türkiye has demonstrated leadership and generosity in hosting this large number for close to a decade. Since June 2014, a temporary protection regime has granted Syrian refugees access to basic services such as healthcare and education. Asylum seekers from other countries continue to benefit from International Protection status. WFP re-established a presence in Türkiye in 2012, in response to the Syria crisis and transitioned its programmes from basic needs assistance to livelihood support as the needs of the target population evolved over time. WFP Türkiye's Country Strategic Plan (CSP 2023-2025) seeks to continue assisting refugees in camps, provide services to humanitarian and development partners, and implement sustainable livelihood programming to build the self-reliance of vulnerable Turks and refugees alike. The CSP has been revised to integrate the recovery efforts following the devastating earthquakes of February 2023, focusing on restoring and revitalizing the food value chain in the earthquake-affected regions.The job holder reports to the Admin Associate in Gaziantep or the designate.
