GOAL’s programming in Turkey is dedicated to the protection and social inclusion of vulnerable and marginalized refugees through the ECHO-funded LINK project which specifically targets refugees from nomadic and semi-nomadic backgrounds, as well as seasonal agricultural workers. It addresses protection concerns of these vulnerable groups by raising awareness about their rights, obligations, and available services in Turkey. The project employs a holistic approach that includes sensitization and advocacy activities, targeting key stakeholders and service providers, and delivering Individual Protection Assistance (IPA) and Case management (CM) to enable access to essential social and protective services under the Temporary and International Protection regulations in Turkey, as well as psychosocial support (PSS) aiming to improve the wellbeing of the targeted communities. GOAL’s protection programming is designed to mitigate risks faced by these communities and ensure their access to life-saving services. The LINK project also fosters partnerships with local actors to increase outreach and strengthen response mechanisms for the displaced and marginalized populations across southern Turkey. Additionally, GOAL conduct regular protection monitoring and provided context updates to service providers, helping them address personal and systemic challenges/barriers faced by refugees in Turkey. These efforts aim to promote resilience, self-reliance, and sustainable change among the targeted communities.

After the February 2023 earthquake, GOAL launched an emergency response to support earthquake-affected refugees and host communities in southeastern Türkiye. This response includes the distribution of food and non-food items, the provision of psychosocial support, and shelter assistance to those impacted by the disaster.
