Faced with a deteriorating economy compounded by the global slowdown and Ukraine conflict, 2022 was a challenging year for Türkiye. WFP forged new partnerships in 2022 which enabled to secure sufficient funding for its operations and helped to reach close to 65,000 girls and boys, women and men across all its activities. Under its e-voucher programme, WFP and the Turkish Red Crescent (TRC) provided around 53,000 refugees in seven Government-run camps with monthly assistance. WFP increased the transfer value per household from TRY 120 (USD 6) to TRY 150 (USD 8) in January 2022 and delivered three top-ups during the first and the last quarters of the year to help beneficiaries sustain their access to food and other essential needs. WFP supported 2,400 Ukrainians hosted in a camp in Elazig starting from September 2022 and over 1,500 unregistered Syrian refugees relocated to camps with the same assistance entitlements. WFP’s enriched partnerships portfolio, accompanied by multi-year contributions, gave impetus to its livelihoods activities provided under the Socioeconomic Empowerment and Sustainability (SES) programme. This programme targets refugees and Turkish nationals with vocational and applied training. WFP increased the monthly stipend delivered during the vocational training from TRY 1,400 (USD 75) to 2000 (USD 107). These adjustments enabled WFP and its partners to double the number of the livelihoods beneficiaries, compared to 2021 and ensured the long-term employment of 893 participants. In July, WFP resumed support to Sisli Municipality in Istanbul for the implementation of the Network Fresh project. This project is an innovation accelerator investment connecting unsold surplus food from businesses to vulnerable households via municipalities with the aim to achieve zero waste and zero hunger. WFP's support benefited 744 beneficiaries with 16,440 meals over three months.
