Synopsis (short abstract) By January 2017 the number of Syrian refugees in Turkey had reached more than 2.8 million. Over 90 percent were hosted in communities while the remaining 10 percent resided in camps. Women and children represented more than 70 percent of the refugee population, requiring targeted food security and nutritional support. In response to this, the project was designed to urgently provide materials and supplies for greenhouse production, and assistance to increase the capacity of the camp’s agricultural technical personnel, as well as the capacities and skills of the refugees in greenhouse vegetable production and greenhouse technology. The project would provide materials and equipment to support the establishment of a new 8 000 m2 greenhouse and enable the rapid production of vegetables for 15 000 newly arrived refugees. It would also provide training to both technicians and refugees in greenhouse vegetable production and management.

    The Syrian Refugee Reslience Plan (SRRP) 2018-2019 is the guiding instrument for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to address the impact of the Syrian refugee crisis in Turkey. The SRRP enables FAO to provide a strategic response to the food security needs within the refugee communities and to facilitate, through sustainable livelihood-oriented approaches, the positive synergies that can support 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

    Political disputes and the deterioration of the economic and security situation in Libya continue to threaten the agricultural sector and its infrastructure. The cereal sector and, above all, wheat production, the most important crop for food security, are particularly affected. To improve food security conditions, farmers need to have access to improved seed, especially wheat seed. The wheat seed assistant programme was implemented to help small farmers in selected governorates to increase wheat production and productivity by distributing improved seed to producer households affected by the political situation, and by providing training and extension.
