BookletEvaluation reportEvaluation of the project “Building Resilience of Syrians under Temporary Protection and Host Communities in Türkiye through Supporting Socio-Economic Integration and Creating Livelihood Opportunities”
Project code: OSRO/TUR/901/EC
2025Also available in:
No results found.The evaluation was conducted to assess the project’s relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and scalability, with the aim of determining the extent to which the project achieved its intended objectives. The project successfully supported Syrians under Temporary Protection (SuTPs) and host communities by addressing labour market needs, strengthening agricultural practices, and expanding economic opportunities for women. However, long-term employability remained a challenge due to structural barriers such as land ownership restrictions, low wages and employer reluctance. The project demonstrated adaptability to external shocks, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2023 earthquake, by adjusting its training delivery methods and expanding livelihood support. The evaluation recommends a more holistic approach to combining policy incentives to render the contribution of ISKUR Employment Desks effective in supporting the employability of SuTPs; and a continued investment in capacity building through complementing it with elements of Farmer Business Schools, supporting the Farmer Field School digital platform, and further strengthening women-led cooperatives. -

Evaluation highlights
2025Also available in:
No results found.Following the Syrian crisis that erupted in 2011, Türkiye hosts a total of 3.7 million Syrian refugees. The project was designed in response to this influx. It aimed to strengthen the resilience and socioeconomic integration of Syrians under Temporary Protection (SuTPs) and vulnerable host communities of Türkiye through support to agricultural livelihoods and access to employment in the agrifood sector. The main target groups are vulnerable seasonal agricultural workers made up of refugees (predominately Syrian), Turkish host communities (working in the agri-and agro-industry), and small-scale producers/entrepreneurs in the agricultural sector, with an equal share of Turkish and Syrian. The project was implemented over a wide geographical area covering 13 provinces. -

No results found.In addition to its drastic impact to human health globally, the COVID-19 pandemic is having a devastating impact on the economies globally and notably in Africa. Countries on the continent have taken various measures to try and contain the spread of COVID-19 such as lockdowns, curfews, closure of borders and other movement restrictions including quarantines and roadblocks, closure of markets, fear of animals, among others. Early indications suggest that the impact on agriculture and food security and levels of poverty and malnutrition will be significant if urgent actions are not taken. Although the economic impacts of COVID-19 will be more significant than the SARS epidemic, the H1N1 flu epidemic and the Ebola epidemic, COVID-19 impact on economic well-being will be observed through two distinct but similar channels. First are the direct and indirect effects of the sickness and mortality, which will lead to an increase in health care costs and loss of economic activity of infected individuals during their illness. Second, are the behavioral effects resulting from people’s fear of contagion and measures taken by governments to control the spread of the infection. The impacts of essential containment/isolation and distancing measures on social and economic well-being are yet to be realized and could have tremendous effects, notably among the most vulnerable.

No results found.Asia-Pacific accounts for more than 90% of the world aquaculture output (FAO, 2016) and the region will have to responsible for sustaining the supply of food fish to increasing population. Feed input in aquaculture represents the major production cost and the most important factor affecting farming profitability and ecological efficiency. Issues and challenges have been rising with the questionable use of fish meal and fish oil, mounting pressure on and competition for ingredient supply, increasing feed costs, variation of feed quality and availability, and feed ingredient related food safety concerns. The region needs to adjust the development strategies and devote more efforts in research, development and capacity building for sustainable production and use of aquaculture feeds. A -

DocumentBulletinNon-Wood News
An information bulletin on non-wood forest products
2009Also available in:
No results found.Behind the new-look Non-Wood News is the usual wealth of information from the world of NWFPs. The Special Features section covers two different aspects of NWFPs: a specific product (bamboo) and a developing market (cosmetics and beauty care). Bamboo is versatile: it can be transformed, for example, into textiles, charcoal, vinegar, green plastic or paper and can also be used as a food source, a deodorant, an innovative building material and to fuel power stations. Reports indicate that natural c osmetics and beauty care are a huge global market, with forecasts indicating an annual growth of 9 percent through 2008. The Special Feature on Forest cosmetics: NWFP use in the beauty industry builds on this and includes information industry interest and marketing strategies (consumers are being drawn to natural products and thus their content is emphasized). As can be seen from the articles on shea butter in Africa and thanakha in Myanmar, many societies have always used and benefited from nat ural cosmetics. This issue includes other examples of traditional knowledge, such as the uses of the secretions of a poisonous tree frog in Brazil and the use by the traditional healers in India of allelopathic knowledge.
