Undoubtedly, one of the biggest difficulties faced by refugees who have
had to leave their homes and seek refuge in other countries is economic
impossibilities. In the case of the Syrians who have taken refuge in our

arrangements have been made. Social assistance, in cash or in kind, has
been and is still being provided through AFAD, the Ministry of Family and
Social Services, Municipalities, and civil society organisations. For this
purpose, many programmes/projects have been/are being implemented
together with international organisations or with the financial support
of the European Union. An important one of these programmes is the
Emergency Social Safety Net Programme, which is the world’s largest
cash-based assistance programme in terms of the number of beneficiaries

European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO).
It is planned to ensure that the vulnerable groups meet their basic
needs such as food, accommodation, and clothing in a decent manner

jointly with the Turkish Red Crescent, the Ministry of Family and Social

Civil Registration and Citizenship Affairs (DGCRCA) and the Presidency
of Migration Management. Cash supports provided within the scope of
the programme are realised by loading 155 Turkish Lira per person per
