In its seventh year of response to the Syria crisis, WFP, together with the Turkish Red Crescent (TRC) and the Government of Turkey, continued to assist vulnerable refugees inside and outside camps, reaching 1.66 million people, 41 percent of the registered refugee population in-country. Assistance was provided through electronic voucher programme for food assistance in camps and multi-purpose cash transfer programme, the Emergency Social Safety Net (ESSN), for basic needs assistance off camp. The ESSN is the world’s largest multi-purpose cash programme, unprecedented in its scale and scope. To ensure sustainability of the ESSN, WFP worked closely with TRC and MoFLSS to develop processes, including for application, registration and payments, that align with existing systems and are compliant with humanitarian standards of accountability to affected populations. WFP, supported by TRC, put in place a rigorous monitoring and evaluation system using robust process and outcome monitoring, complemented by a decentralised evaluation of the ESSN, which had positive results and has been critical to understand the effect of the assistance on beneficiaries and improve the response.
