description:

Capacity building on cooperatives and entrepreneurship is a functional approach for improving the employability of the Syrian women refugees. However, this might not be an easy process particularly when it concerns the non-Turkish citizens. Therefore, specific assistance needs to be taken for developing the institutional capacity such as the legislative aspects. Also, good practices can provide good examples to replicate. This will become evident at the end of the project.

context:

The project is implemented in Gaziantep at the Sada Women-Only Center. Capacity building activities take place, including cooperatives and entrepreneurship.

success:

The significant aspect of this project are that it envisages the idea of increasing the employability of the Syrian refugee women and the HC women through women cooperatives. For this purpose, capacity building through a number of seminars and consultancies have been initiated to establish and maintain cooperatives by these target groups. Another significance of the project to empower the target groups is the capacity building of selected beneficiaries on entrepreneurship in small scale income generating activities.

challenges:

Establishing cooperatives and entrepreneurship might not be an easy process for the vulnerable groups particularly when it concerns the non-Turkish citizens. The legislation and the procedures might be quite difficult for the Syrian refugee women and HC women. Therefore, specific assistance needs to be taken for developing the institutional capacity such as the legislative aspects.

administrative_issues:

Specific assistance needs to be given to the target groups for developing their institutional capacity such as the legislative aspects. Also, good practices can provide good examples to replicate. This will become evident at the end of the project.
