Enhancing livelihood resilience and social cohesion between refugees and host communities
2018Also available in:
No results found.More than 5 million Syrians have sought refuge in neighbouring countries as a result of the Syrian crisis. Despite the support provided by host governments and humanitarian actors, refugees in the region are becoming increasingly vulnerable. Turkey hosts the largest number of Syrian refugees globally. Over 3.3 million Syrians have fled across the border into Turkey, placing a significant burden on the host communities; however, Syrian refugees have very limited access to formal and full livelihood and employment opportunities. Most of them make a living by offering their services as seasonal agricultural workers and are paid lower wages. This poses risks to both host and refugee communities and can lead to instability and social tension. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) partnered with the private sector and carried out agricultural skills trainings to enhance livelihood opportunities for both Syrian refugees and host communities. -

The SRRP is structured around three pillars and designed as an integrated approach: Pillar 1 – Food Security: Increase food security and nutrition through small-scale agricultural production and promote good nutrition Pillar 2 – Livelihoods: Enhance rural livelihoods through vocational skills training to increase access to the local labour market and establish private sector partnerships to fill labour gaps Pillar 3 – Coordination: Increase capacity and coordination among Regional Refugee and Response Plan (3RP) partners in the design, implementation and reporting of programmes -

No results found.The Syrian Refugee Resilience Plan (SRRP) is the guiding document for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to support the Government of Turkey in addressing the needs of Syrian refugees in Turkey. The SRRP describes FAO’s strategy to (i) address food insecurity and malnutrition of vulnerable Syrian refugee and host community members by promoting good practices and evidence-based decisions on food security and nutrition; (ii) Increase the resilience of households, communities and institutions to effectively prevent and cope with crisis by providing viable livelihood opportunities in agriculture; (iii) promote sustainable management and utilization of natural resources, including land, water, climate and genetic resources for the benefit of Syrian refugees and host communities; and (iv) harness the impact of Syrian refugees for the local economic development, and to foster their integration and social cohesion. The main objective of the SRRP is to enhance the resilience of more than 60 000 households (approximately 300 000 people) from Syrian refugee and host communities in Turkey affected by the Syrian crisis. The implementation of the 2019–2020 SRRP will require a budget of USD 106 million. The SRRP covers the provinces in Turkey which have the highest concentration of Syrian refugees and where there is potential for their integration into the local economy.
