PROGRAM/ DEPARTMENT SUMMARY:

As Mercy Corps seeks to alleviate suffering, poverty and oppression around the world we recognize that instances of sudden change within a country or region, are rare moments of opportunity. Mercy Corps is interested in strengthening presence for early as well as longer term programming for Syrians, including those who have been displaced, and will be present initially in the north, with expansion of programming to other regions over time. It is imperative that Mercy Corps present itself as a key and reliable partner with various donors, INGOs, government authorities and civil society actors, to be part of the process of positive change. Mercy Corps, with its global experience in working in countries undergoing major transitions, will be a key contributor in the process, bringing knowledge, expertise and strong management skills to position the agency as a partner of choice for progressive change in Syria, as well as in response to refugee and vulnerable populations in Turkey.

The main thrust of the work of Mercy Corps along with its national and international partners for the foreseeable future will be primarily be focused on meeting the urgent war-related humanitarian needs across the country. The heightened insecurity and continuous acts of violence and war make the humanitarian response not only more challenging, but increasingly complicated.

Mercy Corps is also commencing a refugee response program in Gaziantep, Turkey. This is the first stage of Mercy Corps’ refugee programming in Turkey will serve as a starting point for similar programming in other cities. We believe that a natural synergy exists between our response to the needs of Syrian displaced and those made vulnerable as a result of the conflict within Syria, and responding to the needs of those forced to flee and now living in urban conurbations in Turkey.
