  1. Resilience based response for host communities in Turkey Berna Bayazit Baran Programme Manager Amman 8 January 2014 /undpturkiye /undpturkiye

  2. Context-Challenges and Opportunities Current number of estimated Syrian pop. (700,000); Increasing number of non-camp Syrian citizens (350,000); UN response up to date: support including NFI, food vouchers, schooling support, educational material, RH trainings and mat’l to Syrian populations; Increasing concerns about the impact of the crisis on host communities and possible tensions between the host community and Syrian populations; Impact on: -Turkish families hosting Syrian families -Informal labor market -Price increases (rental and commodities) -Service delivery capacities with increased non-camp pops

  3. Developed UNDP Response Stabilized livelihoods and basic living conditions - Resilience increase with cash grants and strengthened vocational/business skills: models developed for the local Foundations - Immediate employment opportunities with public works - livelihoods needs assessment Strengthened resilience of host communities thru diversified economic opportunities - new agro-industrial units established to complement existing value chains(e.g. Organic olive processing, biomass and business incubator) - support models for local businesses to offset the reduction in cross-border trade Strengthened capacities of the municipalities for service delivery - short term needs for waste management and other municipal services - longer term capacities developed with participatory models

  4. What is different from what is already happening? No targeting of the host communities yet-UNDP’s work with the socio-economic impact perspective A mix of short term response to host communities (with the existing government capacities) to longer term interventions for increased resilience and reduced impact (building on ongoing UNDP initiatives) Involvement of a wide range of actors for new modalities of assistance to host communities Capacity building for the local government for better and more effective service delivery (e.g. on waste management) Benefits to host communities and non-camp Syrian populations at the same time
