Employment promotion for Syrian refugees and the local population in Turkey (Phase II)

The overall objective of the Project for Promoting Decent Work for Syrian Refugees and Turkish Citizens is to increase the number of SuTP and TC working under decent conditions in Turkey. The Project consists of three outputs with specific aims: Output A: “SuTP and TC are qualified to participate in the formal labour market”, which aims at building the skills of beneficiaries so that they are qualified to participate in the formal labour market. Output B: “Turkish public employment services are strengthened to support SuTP and disadvantaged TC to access formal sector employment”, which aims at strengthening the service provision capacity of public agencies such as DG ILF and ISKUR through the establishment of 10 additional one-stop shops. Output C: “Transition to formality is facilitated for SuTP and TC”, which aims to provide incentives to employers to hire SuTP and TC formally and support formal job creation. The Project will be implemented in partnership with the MoFLSS and its key agencies and directorates, including the Social Security Institution (SSI) and DG International Labour Force, social partners, local governments and municipalities. The project targets overall to support formal employment of 8,000 beneficiaries, equally SuTP and Turkish Citizens. The time frame is until the end of 2022. The project is a continuation of the ongoing project TUR/18/01/DEU and represents its phase II.
