The UNDP Turkey Resilience Project in response to the Syria Crisis (TRP) is supported by the EU Regional Trust Fund (EUTF) in response to the Syrian crisis with 50 million EUR. The Trust Fund overall has a volume of more than 1 billion euros. “Our objective is to provide a coherent and reinforced aid response to the Syrian crisis on a regional scale, responding primarily to the needs of refugees from Syria in neighbouring countries, as well as of the communities hosting the refugees and their administrations, in particular as regards resilience and early recovery.” said Ambassador Christian Berger, Head of EU Delegation in Turkey.

In addition to MADAD Fund, the Facility for Refugees in Turkey, with a total commitment of 3 billion euros, provides for a joint coordination mechanism, designed to ensure that the needs of refugees and host communities in Turkey are addressed in a comprehensive and coordinated manner.
