THE EXACT MAGNITUDE OF TİKA’S FAR-REACHING SERVICE AND ACHIEVEMENTS, WITH ITS THOUSANDS OF PROJECTS IMPLEMENTED IN SOME 140 COUNTRIES AND PROGRAM OFFICES IN SOME 54 HAS PROVED VERY DIFFICULT TO SPEAK OF IN ITS ENTIRETY. IF TURKEY HAS BEEN RANKING AMONG THE TOP DONORS IN TERMS OF DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE, IT IS TO A GREAT EXTENT DUE TO THE PIONEERING EFFORTS OF TİKA.

WE IMMEDIATELY ASSIST THOSE WHO ASK FOR A HELPING HAND WITHOUT QUESTIONING THEIR MOTHER TONGUE, RELIGIOUS BELIEFS OR RACE. WE ARE WITH THEM TODAY AND WILL BE WITH THEM TOMORROW.

actor in terms of e ciency and geographical and sectoral outreach capacity, and TİKA, its foremost public actor for development and hich stands at the very heart of the nation’s development cooperation, to continue to strive to perform an even more profound role in shaping this ne paradigm.

TİKA, a staunch advocate of the idea that development is only possible through complete participation of all individuals and communities, has continued to contribute to these goals and the implementation of a human oriented approach in development in 2015. TİKA’s projects and activities contribute to global peace and help in the creation of individuals, communities and institutions hich are more resilient to poverty, climate change, natural disasters and other crises.

Turkey has been determinedly maintaining e orts to build global peace through TİKA projects to ards friendly nations and sister countries as part of its active and principled foreign policy hich e ectively shapes and in uences the global agenda. ith all its po er, TİKA has been protecting hundreds of ancestral monuments including mos ues, caravanserais, bathhouses, dervish monasteries, bridges, and hospices in order to preserve our common heritage

ith those ith hom e are bonded through centuries-long historical, religious and cultural ties. These holehearted cooperation e orts have increased Turkey’s international prestige and visibility, and manifests in its foreign aid capacity. TİKA has been implementing all its projects and activities in cooperation ith NG s, universities, and several private and public bodies in stakeholder countries, and through this creating the synergies necessary for productive and sustainable business, economic, social and cultural relations.

ould like to take this opportunity to congratulate the TİKA family, hich e tends the helping hand of the Republic of Turkey, and hich has made every e ort to reach goals in aid of those all around the orld through great heart. ish them continued success.

t is impossible to understand TİKA ithout considering the significant shi in Turkey’s foreign policy approach hich occurred in the early 2000s. This shi re ected the country’s determination

to become an important regional and global actor, and the e ects of this can be seen in the significant increase in projects carried out by the organization. Around 1 .000 such projects ere implemented by TİKA bet een 2002-2015, hile nearly 2.000 ere implemented in 2015 alone. hen considering the fact that TİKA carried out only 2.220 projects in the decade bet een 1 2 and 2002, the significance of this shi , and the great impact that TİKA has had regionally and globally in recent years, comes into sharp perspective.

The geographical reach of TİKA’s operations has also e panded. The number of Program Coordination

ces, only 12 in 2002, increased to 25 in 2001, and then to in 2012. The organization e pects to have

0 such o ces up and running by 201 201 . A uick glance at TİKA’s sectoral projects and activities in 2015 ill also illustrate its successful engagement in complementary operations. f all TİKA run projects realized in 2015, those in the arena of social services and infrastructure, particularly related to education and health, ranked first in terms of the number of projects out of the total for the year those aimed at strengthening services and infrastructure for the development of a sustainable economic base came second and those hich targeted the strengthening of manufacturing sectors to simultaneously increase employment opportunities and decrease ine ualities

an objective at the very center of the Sustainable Development Goals SDG agenda ranked third.

n 2015, the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals MDGs , hich aimed to achieve minimum levels of development on a global scale, e pired and

ere e ectively replaced by the 20 0 Sustainable Development Goals SDGs . The MDGs ensured improvements in a number of areas including the reduction of poverty, increased access to primary education, reduced child mortality rates, and e panded access to clean ater resources. Ho ever, there remains a great need for continuing this progress in both a uantitative sense, hich allo s for easily measurable evaluations of progress, but also in a

ualitative sense. This is re ected in the global SDGs. This ne era urges Turkey, a proven development

• Coordinate where necessary the provision of humanitarian and technical assistance to other countries and communities.

• Implement programs, projects and activities in cooperation with other public institutions, universities, non-governmental organizations and private sector actors in beneficiary countries; provide specialized assistance where necessary.

• Prepare or facilitate and implement projects and programs aimed at strengthening cooperation in public management, law, education, culture, and other social fields in the designated countries and communities; provide scholarships and similar assistance to public officials and other individuals from such countries for education and training in Turkey.

Accordingly, TİKA was founded as a special budget public legal entity under the Prime Ministry to develop economic, commercial, technical, social, cultural and educational relations through projects, programs and activities with designated states and communities; administer contributions, assistance, and related processes and perform other tasks as prescribed by the laws. The said Decree-Law entered into force upon publication in the Official Gazette on November 2, 2011, issue 28103. TİKA performs the following functions:

WE CARE ABOUT EYE HEALTH

An ultrasonic pachymeter device was delivered to the Rozaje Health Center’s Eye Clinic in the Sanjak region of Montenegro.

A phacoemulsification device was delivered to the Kahul Eye Surgery Clinic of the Moldova Vulkanesti Regional Hospital. It is the only eye health center serving Kahul and the surrounding area, and was struggling to deliver services on account of several malfunctioning medical devices. The phacoemulsification device the hospital was previously using was an outdated model for which parts are no longer available. This threatened the clinic’s ability to perform life-changing ophthalmology surgeries, including cataract removals for which the need is very high.

TİKA granted 50 phacoemulsification tubing packs to be used in cataract surgeries, as well as an ophthalmology surgery microscope, and an ocular

measurement device and related equipment for training purposes to a hospital in Niger. Experts were deployed to give phacoemulsification trainings to ophthalmologists working in Niger hospitals in order to promote the phacoemulsification techniques for cataract treatment. Cataracts are a major health problem throughout Africa.

Cataract patients in Niger received medical operations as part of the “Niger Cataract Project” which TİKA undertook in cooperation with NGOs.

TİKA delivered consumable surgical materials needed for a training, facilitated with cooperation from the Ministry of Health, on phacoemulsification surgery at the Ophthalmologists of Senegal Dantec Hospital to which TİKA had previously also delivered a phacoemulsification device.

A phacoemulsification device was granted to the Zvezdara Hospital Ophthalmology Clinic, which is the only one of its kind in Belgrade, the capital city of Serbia. The clinic conducts operations on 2.500 cataract patients a year and yet, there are over 2.700 patients on the waiting list. The capacity of the clinic was improved by the donation.

A course on ocular traumas, which are known to be among the major causes of blindness, was held in Kyrgyzstan in cooperation with the Turkish Ophthalmology Association. Trainees from Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan participated in the course.

The magnitude .0 earth uake hich hit Haiti on anuary 12, 2010, le 1 thousand people dead and another 00 thousand others ounded, according to o cial figures.

urthermore, in destroying the southern part of the country, the earth uake rendered 1. million people homeless. Despite the fact that a relatively long period of time has passed since the catastrophe, the

restructuring process is still ongoing, ith many problems, including a lack of access to clean, safe drinking ater, yet to be overcome. n cooperation ith the Haiti Ministry of Agriculture, TİKA has assisted in the construction of 0 ater ells on the island to assist in reconstruction e orts, and to alleviate some of the su ering e perienced by the Haitian people.

Since before the fall of the Soviet Union, the villagers of Tazakend, in the Marneuli Municipality of the Kvemo Kartli region in Georgia, have struggled ith the laborious task of fetching their drinking ater across the Armenian border. re uent cuts in the

supply have made it even harder for them to access clean ater. To reduce hardship and resolve ater scarcity issues, T KA drilled a

ater ell, and constructed a reservoir and fountain in the village to the benefit of over 4 households.

Due to rising demand and the increasing importance of foreign policy, the “International Young Diplomats Training Program” has massively expanded its scope from working only with the Central Asian Turkish Republics at its beginning in 1992, to welcoming trainees from the Balkans, the Middle East, East and Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America.

The training program provides a valuable multicultural platform for a large number of young diplomats, and introduces them to Turkish foreign policy and diplomacy as well as its history, art, music and literature.

Outcomes of Young Diplomats Training Program

Young Diplomats Training Program

Institutional and individual capacity building are pillars of sustainable development and among the essential components for achieving the Millennium Development Goals.

Leadership serves as a catalyst for sustainable development as strong leaders are able to plan strategically in the face of change, and guide others through turbulent times.

Institutional leadership is related to increases in both individual and institutional abilities. When people working in related fields know each other, they are more likely to collaborate on value added projects. Via this training program for public and private sector executives, Turkey aims to further bilateral relations through the building of networks which support such projects. More specifically, TİKA aims to contribute to the creation of networks between middle and high-level executives from countries in close geographical and/or cultural proximity to Turkey in the interest of widening the scope for such cooperation opportunities.

The Leadership School Program was started in 2013 with cooperation from the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) and the Turkish Management Sci-ences Institute (TÜSSİDE). The program is meant to organize trainings for the improvement of management qualifications of middle and high-level public executives in Central Asian, Balkan and African countries.

The training programs also serve as platforms for the exchange of information between countries on topics including R&D, technology, state subsidies, technology transfers, assistance for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and improvement and innovation opportunities in the public sector. Along with sharing know-how and experience, Turkey also aims to build a long-term cooperation network to foster mutual gains.

The qualitative outcomes and impacts of such capacity building programs require relative-ly long periods of time to comprehensively assess, and are not easily attributable or measurable. However, a total of 212 middle and high-level executives, who took part in five training pro-grams, have had the opportunity to exchange information with public Turkish bodies and institu-tions.

We support increasing women’s employment opportunities

In Namibia, around one third of women experience physical violence, and the number of children abandoned due to violence-related family breakups is drastically high. The insufficient number of women’s shelters vis-à-vis the high number of women who are victims of violence only fans the flames of the problem.

TİKA has been making efforts to increase the service capacity of shelters for women and children through the provision of equipment and material assistance, and supporting the sustainability of the shelters through the procurement of income-generating equipment. In 2015 for instance, TİKA provided a shelter for women and children, operated by the Namibia Ministry of Gender Equality and Child Welfare, with items including domestic appliances, beds and wardrobes.

In addition, TİKA provided equipment support for vocational training and workshops for the women. The target group were the residents of the Katutura neighborhood, which is 9 kilometers outside of Windhoek, Namibia’s capital city. During South African rule, Katatura was created as a segregated neighborhood for black people, who were at the time, not welcome in the white neighborhoods of Windhoek. Today, Katatura’s population remains very poor, and unemployment rates in the area are extremely high.

Several courses including on glasswork,

pottery, tie-dyeing/dyeing and knickknackery were held in the framework of the project. The items produced during the courses were sold via the internet and through a small outlet store. From this, a total of 560 women were provided with employment. Of this total, 110 women were provided with permanent jobs, while 450 were given temporary work which boosted their skills.

The Namibian Minister of Gender Equality and Child Welfare, Doreen Sioka, is highly appreciative of TİKA’s efforts to support women in the country. Minister Sioka pointed out that violence towards women and children is a chronic problem in Namibia, saying, “TİKA’s assistance holds great meaning for us. Women victims have been given the chance to live in more secure and comfortable environments. And thanks to TİKA’s equipment aid for the children’s shelter, our children will grow up playing with toys in a better environment rather than going astray on the streets.” TİKA officials believe that societies which fail to ensure suitable social, economic and cultural conditions for women will be unable to develop. Not only is it important for women to be able to lead personally fulfilling lives, but they are also the ones who generally care for children. Their talents and potential must be fostered and embraced if societies are to progress. TIKA will continue to strive to provide and improve assistance in this area.

In 1990, the Tamil Eelam Liberation Tigers began an armed resistance against the Sri Lankan government in a bid for autonomy, forcing the Muslim minority to leave the northern part of the country. Numerous houses were destroyed and the infrastructure of the region was devastated during the civil war.

Many families in Sri Lanka were forced to take shelter in temporary huts and under trees after having returned to their villages following the cessation of armed conflict in 2009. In light of this, and upon request from the Sri Lankan Prime Minister Dissanayake Mudiyanselage Jayaratne on behalf of those

displaced during the civil strife, TİKA built 100 houses in a village in the Northern Mannar Tharapuram region of the country. It was here where residents faced the most devastating effects of the civil war. Additionally, 25 water wells were drilled in the village, and TİKA provided computers for a training center operated by the National Youth Council for vocational training in Mannar. The name of the village has subsequently been changed to Turkish City. The project, carried out in cooperation with the Housing and Resource Development Institution, is expected to revive the village to its former energetic and productive status.

The most devastating flood to hit the Balkan region in the last 120 years occurred between the 13th and 18th of May, 2014, and left 86 people dead in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Croatia, Romania and Slovakia. A total of 2.5 million people were affected by the disaster which forced hundreds of thousands of people to leave their homes.

Serbia was hit the hardest, with 51 dead which 30.000 people displaced. The Serbian Prime Minister called the flood the “worst natural disaster Serbia has faced in the last 100 years”. The town of Obrenovac, in the north-western region of the country experienced the worst damage. The Sava River flooded the area and submerged almost 90% of the town and forced the evacuation

of 24.000 people. The Nikola Tesla power station, which supplies half of the nation’s energy was only just spared, thanks to the erection of by sandbag dykes. Flood and soil erosion significantly damaged 500 homes and completely destroyed 20 in the town of Krupanj in Machva which is situated in a valley between mountains, through which a number of relatively small creeks run. Landslides virtually wiped the village of Rebelj, in the town of Valjevo, off the map.

A bridge over the Jovanovacka River near the village of Brachin in Razanj Municipality was also damaged. As part of efforts to restore infrastructure damaged by the floods, TİKA built a new bridge.

In 2015, TIKA began to implement projects in the Philippines. The “TIKAbuhayan” program was developed to support projects related to income generation and job creation through sustainable agriculture and animal husbandry – industries upon with 60% of the rural population depend. Kabuhayan means livelihood in Tagalog, one of the two official languages in the country. The program aims to implement these agricultural and husbandry projects in the least developed, hardest-to-reach and disaster prone areas with the collaboration of regional, public and civil society groups. By the end of 2016, it is expected that ten thousand people will have benefited directly from the program, while another three thousand will have indirectly benefited from it. In helping to create sustainable livelihoods, the projects also aims to contribute to stability and peace in the country.

The program includes two projects in the realm of pisciculture. The Phillipines is made up of over 7.107 islands and fishing has always played an important role in the economy. The country combines production from municipal marine fisheries and inland fisheries. One of the biggest obstacles to the setting up of production infrastructure is a lack of investment capital. This also constrains the growth of production. In this context, assistance from TİKA include the preparation of the project area, and delivering training in technical production skills and marketing. One such project will be implemented in Maguindanao which is the least developed part of the country according to national and international observers. The project aims to contribute to the stability of the region.

The other pisciculture project will be implemented on Hilutungan Island, an area hard hit by Typhoon Haiyan and where fishing is the primary source of income. Two

years after the typhoon, recovery continues at a snail’s pace. While there is no urgent humanitarian need on the island, medium and longer-term projects have not been implemented. The main objective of TİKA’s program is to have a quick impact, with a sustainable effects. In its first year, 50 tons worth of fish harvest is expected, with targeted increases in productivity by the third year.

A poultry-farming project is also being implemented in the scope of the TİKAbuhayan program. The pilot project will take place in two of the least developed regions of the country. It is estimated that 100 people will benefit directly, while 75 thousand people will indirectly benefit from the project. The aim is to channel the pilot project’s profits into investment for new poultry farming initiatives, and thus increasing the number of beneficiaries.

Another project related to the program will be focused on goat husbandry. This profitable business has so far remained underdeveloped in the country. The project, which includes goat husbandry preparation, training and application, will be implemented in Kupicay in the Upi region of Mindanao. It is estimated that 175 people will directly benefit, and 100 thousand will indirectly benefit from the project. The project also aims to highlight the important economic impact that goat dairy production can have, and overcome local suspicion about goat’s milk by providing educational training. The project will be implemented in the Upi region where different religious communities including Muslims, Christians and practitioners of other local religions live alongside one another. As such, the project aims to play an important role in fostering peaceful cooperation among these different religious groups.

Agriculture and Husbandry Assistance in Philippines

In 2005, as part of the “Greenhouse Vegetable Gardening Development Project of Eastern Macedonia”, TİKA provided seeds and assistance for greenhouse cultivation to 60 families on the borders between Strumica, Vasilevo and Bosilovo municipalities. The project aimed to contribute to the production of tomatoes and peppers in the region, and it proved to have a positive impact as local people in need expressed strong demand for the project’s continuity.

In continuing the project, TİKA has provided seeds and assistance in greenhouse cultivation to an additional 500 families in 72 villages on the borders of Radoviš, Konče,

Stip, Karbinci, Berovo, Veles, Demir Kapija, Negotino, Doyran and Villanova municipalities in Eastern Macedonia. The project aims to increase the quality of produce, and to extend the vegetable gardening season year-round through the promotion of greenhouse production. In the scope of the project, TİKA has provided assistance through the construction of greenhouses and the installation of drip irrigation systems, as well as provided technical support related to tomato and pepper production. Overall, the project aims to increase household income far beyond what can be expected from traditional livelihood strategies.

Due to terror threats and political con ict, road transportation bet een the capital of Khartoum and the Darfur region is uite di cult, and living e penses are

uite high in relation to the conditions of the country. As the region has received almost no investment, agriculture and stockbreeding are the primary livelihood activities.

Since 2010, T KA’s “Seed Distribution Project” has supported regional development in

the area. Beginning in 2005, T KA’s project partners, the ederal Agricultural Ministry and e perts from the Africa City of Technology, selected recipients to receive corn, chickpea, sesame, tomato, melon, atermelon, cucumber, carrot, gumbo and acacia gum seeds provided by T KA. T KA also provided technical e uipment including hoes, plo s and irrigation pumps. The project has aimed, over time, to produce the highest uality crops possible by analysing the local soil structure and planting season, and providing the best uality seeds.

n the ne t year, the project plans to e pand from seed distribution activities to o er trainings on post-production and marketing techni ues, hich are e pected to generate future additional employment opportunities.

Vocational Training Programs for Turkic Republics

Geographical proximity, and shared cultural and historic heritage play an important role in shaping Turkish development assistance. Thanks to its liberal economy and close ties to global markets, Turkey is well-placed to support the integration of Turkic republics and their communities into the world economic system.

As part of these efforts, TİKA and the Turkish Ministry of Economy, have been running training programs to support institutional capacity and human resource management in these nations since 2007.

The programs have aimed to bolster the international trade capacity of the Turkic republics by assisting them in bringing their domestic policies in sync with the international market. Through these programs, Turkey has also aimed to share its experience and knowledge with these nations whilst also supporting their relations with each other and with international economic and commercial organisations.

To date, 9 related projects have been implemented. The projects were announced by Turkish trade counsellors / attaches who also assisted in the selection of project candidates. The introduction of Turkish expertise/techniques has been an integral part of these projects, and as such, candidates were given two-week training

programs in Turkey. Theoretical trainings were carried out in Ankara, while participants were also provided with opportunities to visit other sites and cities around the country (such as for instance, industrial chambers, trade chambers, free trade zones, organized industrial zones and technological parks) to enhance their learning, and allow them to gain practical experience. On the last day of each training program, participants were expected to give presentations on the economic and commercial status of their home countries.

Technical assistance training, an important part of capacity building, comes with long-term benefits. This type of training supports sustainable development in ways that financial aid cannot do on its own. The Turkish Ministry of Economy has organised vocational training programs for experts and academics in several countries with two long-term objectives in mind: improving the quality of human resources in these nations, which is essential for these countries to build their own development pathways; and the fostering of deeper economic relations between these nations and Turkey.

The training programs have also served as platforms for public officials and academics to exchange knowledge and experience, and build networks from which future productive collaborations and partnerships can emerge.

Bread Factory in Bishkek

TİKA supported the establishment of a bread factory, which is today the most modern and hygienic in Kyrgyzstan, in the country’s capital of Bishkek to support the nation’s long tradition of breadmaking. Bread is also a symbol of peace and abundance, and thus, is a fitting medium through which Turkey shares its wealth and experience with Kyrgyzstan. As part of the project, hygiene equipment, bread crates and pallets were provided for the factory, and 11 Kyrgyz personnel, expected to work in the factory, were trained at the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Bread for Citizens Project factory in Cebeci District.

The Halk Bread Factory was built on Tokombaev Street in the 12th District on land allocated by the Bishkek Municipality and is the first bread factory in the area. The 3 thousand square meter public factory has been operating since May, 2015 with a production capacity of 3 thousand loaves per hour. The factory employs 17 people including 10 workers and 7 managers.

The factory has attained quality certificates for its bread and the production process meets the highest technological standards. It features a single-line tunnel furnace powered by natural gas, a flour storage room, a cooling room, a quality control laboratory and other technical rooms, a dining hall, administrative units, a training room and a meeting space. The bread is produced in the tunnel oven and is ready for morning distribution each day. While at present, only one type of adobe bread is produced (and sold in loaves of 300, 400 grams or 500 grams), nearly 6 thousand loaves of it are baked each day while the

factory plans to increase production to 25 thousand loaves per day.

The public bread factory has become one of the most successful public production facilities in Kyrgyzstan in a short space of time and has won several public tenders to sell bread in social clubs, nurseries, senior centers, schools and military units. The bread has become highly popular, and can also be found in markets, and at 18 kiosks in the Bishkek Municipality. The price is highly competitive and below market value

at between 9 and 11 Kyrgyzstani Som (0,13-0,15 US Cents) per loaf, depending on flour quality and weight.

Establishment and Renovation of Sewing and Shoe-making Workshop in Vaziani

As a result of wars which raged continuously from 1990 to 2008 in Abkhazia, 300 thousand Abkhazians were displaced and many Abkhazian state institutions including schools, universities, theatres and other social-cultural organisations were forced to relocate to Georgia. Today, many of these Abkhazian migrants live in large cities in Georgia including Tbilisi, Kutaisi, Zugdidi and Poti. In cooperation with international organizations, the government of the Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia and the Georgian government are working together to improve the economic, social and political conditions of this displaced community

It is within this context that, in response to the Abkhazian Government’s request, a sewing and shoe-making workshop was established to build vocational skills and generate employment opportunities for the Abkhazian migrants living in the town of Vaziani near Tbilisi. The project was carried out with cooperation from the Abkhazian Government and Gardabani Municipality Governorate. A 3-storey 720 square meter building in the town center was selected for the establishment of the workshop. The first floor of the building hosts a nursery where 17 employees look after 170 children from both displaced and local families. The second floor was designed to provide accommodation for 5 Abkhazian families. Before TİKA’s assistance, the third floor was in bad condition and could not be used.

Over the course of a 6-month project, TİKA fully renovated and decorated the third floor and transformed it into a sewing and shoe-making workshop with 10 rooms over 240

square meters. TİKA equipped the workshop with a sewing machine, a shoe stitching machine, a milling machine, a pressing machine, a drying machine, a cutting machine and a shoe ironing machine, shoe molds, a treadle and a steam ironing table. Office equipment including computers, printers and cupboards were also provided, and the workshop store was renovated. To kick off workshop production, a range of materials, including fabric of various types and thicknesses, and shoe leather and shoe soles were supplied. At present, 4 employees work

producing shoes and 11 work the sewing equipment. Between them, they produce 300 pairs of shoes and 400 bed linen sets every month. In addition to standard production, bespoke shoes, bed sheets, curtains, table and bedspreads, aprons and floor mattresses are also produced in the workshops and sold in the local market. The workshops are currently planning to begin producing equipment for the Tbilisi Municipality and other public organizations.

Carpenter Training Workshop and Machine Repair in Thies

A carpenter training workshop in the Thies Chamber of Industry in Senegal was renovated by TİKA to enhance vocational training opportunities and to support the growth of a qualified workforce. As part of the renovations, existing defective machines were repaired and other necessary materials and equipment were provided. Furthermore, in cooperation with the Ministry of National Education, 10 experts from the workshop were provided with 1600 hours of training at the Ankara Atatürk Vocational and Technical High School in April, 2015.

Two furniture manufacturing instructors from the Turkish Ministry of Education travelled to Senegal and trained 10 experts from the Thies Chamber of Industry for seven days to strengthen their theoretical and practical knowledge. During the training, the participants produced an office table and two office stands and were awarded with certificates upon completion of the program.

Cassava Processing Machines for Women in Malinga, Gabon

The village of Malinga has a population of 1.500 inhabitants and is located approximately 750 kilometers from Gabon’s capital of Libreville and 40 kilometers away from the nearest settlement. Due to its isolation and low population, Malinga is frequently underserved when it comes to public services. Its location near the border with Congo means it holds potential for trade, but lack of transportation and communication infrastructure has stifled this potential, keeping productivity and employment rates in the village low.

Cassava farming and processing is one of the livelihood activities upon which many people in Malinga depend. Women in particular engage in the processing of the root into flour and paste via traditional methods that rely on the use of stones and sticks. An integrated project was implemented in Malinga with the support of TİKA, in part to mechanise the farming process and reduce

the drudgery of physical labor performed by women, and to generally support women’s employment in the region. As part of these efforts, three cassava processing machines were donated. As there is no electricity in the village, a generator was also provided to use for cassava production, and other village activities.

In addition to the introduction of machinery which has reduced the time required to process cassava while also relieving women of the difficult physical labor associated with this task, the project has also enhanced cassava-related economic activity in a number of other ways including the storage, transportation and marketing of cassava flour and paste. The centrality of cassava to village life, and the boost in cassava-related productivity from this project has translated into increased quality of life for all those who live in the village of Malinga.

Qarabagh, a northern district of the city of Kabul lies 44 kilometers from the city center and, has a population of 180 thousand. Most citizens in the area are engaged in agriculture, livestock rearing, and even wine making. Previously, TİKA provided assistance for the construction of volleyball and basketball courts in Geliller, a region in the Qarabagh district. More recently, in 2015, TİKA also provided support for construction of volleyball and basketball courts and playgrounds for children in the neighborhood of Aler.

The district’s administrative head, Abdul Sami Sharifi, welcomed the project with the following statement:

“There were no sports facilities or playgrounds for young people or children here. Thanks to the newly built sportsgrounds, young people can now enjoy taking part in sport activity in the area. The children now can play in the playground in ways that they only saw in movies or in their dreams. Turkey has transformed our children’s dreams into reality.”

The Afghanistan Olympic Committee President Fahim Hashemi emphasized that the sportsground constructed with Turkish support will play an important role in the development of sport in the region.

Humanitarian Aid Activities in 2015

Many Palestinians were wounded as a result of the attacks in Gaza. As the treatment capacity of the country is inadequate, 125 wounded people were treated in Turkey with assistance from TİKA.

Following the Gaza war, the Gaza blockade led to poverty and unemployment. During the month of Ramadan in 2015, a total of 50 thousand families in Gaza were provided with a month’s supply of food.

At the request of the Health Ministry of the Palestinian Unity Government, fuel assistance has been provided to Gaza hospitals to help them meet their energy needs.

Cash aid was given to two thousand families to repair their war-damaged homes which were damaged in the war. The Deputy Minister of Social Affairs of the Palestinian Unity Government and the Presidency of the Gaza Zakat Committee helped to identify the families.

Medication and other medical supplies have been provided to the Gaza Health Ministry, including for the treatment of cancer patients. Thousands of patients have benefited from this assistance, including 900 cancer patients.

Humanitarian Aid for Palestine

Humanitarian aid to Palestine

Various projects were supported in response to urgent humanitarian crises in Gaza. A total of 46 projects have been implemented between 2005-2015.

In 2015, Nepal, one of Asia’s poorest countries,

was hit by a massive earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8. Following the earthquake, the country experienced a number of landslides, floods and avalanches worsening the situation. As a result of these natural disasters, 8 thousand people lost their lives and 19 thousand were left injured. According to the UN, the earthquake has affected 8 million people across 20 regions of the country.

In the wake of the earthquake, Turkish institutions and organizations have been delivering aid and carrying out humanitarian activities for Nepal. As part of this assistance, a dermatome instrument and a baby incubator were donated by TİKA to a hospital in Kathmandu. Additionally, 4 aid trucks carrying food packages for 1.300 families, and school bags and stationery material for 800 students, were sent to two villages in Nuwakot, a hard hit region in the earthquake zone.

Humanitarian Assistance to Nepal

TİKA similarly supported Tajikistan which was also badly affected by natural disaster in 2015. Devastating mudflows resulting from heavy rain and floods hit Shugnan, Vanj, Rushan, Darvaz, Ishkashim and Murgab districts in the

country on the 19th of July, 2015. In response to Tajik Prime Minister Qohir Rasulzoda’s call, TİKA sent aid packages, consisting of three-month supplyies of basic food items, for 160 affected families.

A major earthquake hit Afghanistan in 2015 and left more than 115 dead, 580 wounded, and 7.630 homes destroyed. The 7.5 magnitude earthquake’s epicenter struck in the province of Badakhshan in the Hindu Kush mountain range in Afghanistan’s far north. Due to the dangerous conditions resulting from the earthquake in the affected regions, it became difficult to deliver aid and assistance, with many aid organisations struggling to access the zone. TİKA was one of the first international organizations on the scene in regions affected by the disaster. TİKA’s assistance operation, which included the provision of tents, blankets and 56 tons of food aid to 700 families, became one of the most successful international aid campaigns in the response.

Five-person tents for 100 families, 200 blankets and food aid packages were distributed to the victims of the earthquake in Rhodos district and its surrounding rural areas in the Nangarhar region. An additional 8 tons of food aid packages were distributed to Bihsud and its surrounding rural areas.

Panjshir, surrounded by high mountains and located along the Panjshir River, is 96 kilometers northeast of the capital city of Kabul. In March, huge avalanches hit Panjshir Valley in the economically deprived province, destroying homes, blocking roads and killing people and hundreds of animals. Following the disaster, victims whose homes were destroyed took refuge in nearby centers. As the roads were closed, the Afghan army delivered aid packages to the victims by helicopter. The government of Afghanistan declared a 3-day period of national mourning, and called for help. In response, TİKA provided food packages to 80 affected families.

Many families were displaced due to the intensification of fighting in Kunduz and Hoja Ghar in Takhar province. A total of 950 of these families, including 600 in Taloqan, 180 in Qalay-i-Zal and 170 in Mazar-i-Sharif were provided with blankets and food.

The Least Developed Countries (LDCs) are the world’s poorest 48 nations. They struggle with structural economic problems, stagnant development, and weak institutions and human resources. Nearly a billion people live in the LDCs, 34 of which are located in Africa, 13 of which are in the Asia Pacific region and one of which is in Latin America.

Turkey has been working to develop relations with countries beyond its geographical neighborhood over the last 15 years. As part of these efforts, Turkey follows a specific agenda with regard to LDCs, as assistance for these nations is seen as a global priority for international development cooperation. Aiming to improve relations and build cooperation opportunities with these regions, Turkey declared 2005 the African Year and 2006 the Latin American Year. Since 2011, Turkish relations with LDCs have gained special momentum. For instance, Turkey hosted the 4th United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries in Istanbul between the 9th and 13th of May, 2011, out of which emerged the Istanbul Declaration, and the comprehensive Istanbul Program of Action. The Istanbul declaration confirms and further strengthens the commitments of the international community and development partners to the LDCs, setting out a cooperation framework and the obligations of the UN system, international institutions and developed countries. Within the context of South-South Cooperation, it also lays out the responsibilities of developing countries and LDCs themselves. The Istanbul Program of Action is a detailed agreement outlining specific actions to be carried out and completed by 2020, both by LDCs and their development partners, to achieve sustained and equitable growth in these countries.

Various projects, programs and activities were carried out by TİKA in 2015 for the LDCs. Within this scope, cooperative activities were carried out in partnership with Somalia, Afghanistan, Senegal, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Chad, Mauritania, Guinea Bissau, Benin, Comoros Islands, Gambia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Togo, Burkina Faso, Yemen, Cambodia, Madagascar, Mali, Mozambique, Bangladesh, Nepal, Myanmar and the Democratic Republic of Congo. These projects aimed to strengthen the existing economic infrastructure of the LDCs and to enhance human resources to increase these nations’ resilience to economic crises and environmental disasters, and to increase their ability to compete in the global economy.

- Various educational projects were carried out in Bangladesh and Cambodia. For instance, the Joyrampur High School in Bangladesh, which serves 296 students, was renovated, and outfitted with a library, a solar powered computer room, and a science laboratory. In the village of Angkor Ban, in the Kampong Cham Province of Cambodia, a two-storey school building was built and equipped. School attendance in the region is low, and the additional infrastructure is expected to improve this.

- Projects to enhance education and employment in Ethiopia were carried out. Within the framework of strengthening educational infrastructure, several schools were equipped in the Afar region, which is one of the most impoverished and underdeveloped provinces in the country. Furnishing and electronic materials were also provided for a center focusing on the empowerment of women and young people in the region. To increase employment opportunities, agricultural equipment and seed support was provided for people living in rural areas of the country. The assistance also aims to help them in their efforts to adapt to sedentary ways of life.

- A training program was organized to increase the production capacities of women engaged in pottery making activities in the Gaoui region of Chad.

- To strengthen maternal and child healthcare in Mauritania, TİKA furnished 2 operating rooms, 6 patient rooms, 4 infant rooms and 1 sterilization machine room in the Paediatric and Emergency Department at the Nouakchott Mother-Child Hospital. Landscaping for the hospital was also carried out with support from TİKA.

- In order to improve Mozambique’s information and technology infrastructure, a 4-person delegation from the country paid a visit to Turkey with support from TİKA. During the visit, the delegation had the opportunity to meet Turkish experts from the General Directorate of Vocational and Technical Education of the Turkish Education Ministry and Gazi University of Turkey. An additional 4 experts from the National Research Fund, an autonomous institution affiliated with the Mozambique Ministry of Science and Technology, also visited Turkey with support from TİKA between the 9th and 13th of March, 2015. During the visit, they met with officials from the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey.

- Tailoring equipment and sewing machines were donated to the Public Tailoring Center in the Namibian city of Lüderitz, which has a high unemployment rate. The project aims to increase the employment rate in the region. Various joinery materials and machines, computers, and sewing machines were also donated in the capital Windhoek, aiming to provide employment opportunities to women. In addition, two briquette machines and a mixer were donated to immigrants in the Erongo region as part of the Walvis Bay City Immigrant Vocational Rehabilitation Project.

-Eye surgery microscopes, eye measurement devices and equipment were donated in Niger. Cataracts are a major health problem in the country, as in the rest of Africa. The donations will be used to train doctors in Nigerien hospitals,contributing to the dissemination of phaco technique applications in the fight against cataracts.

- The Dakar Center for the Hearing Impaired Improvement Project was carried out by TİKA. The project aimed to strengthen social infrastructure in Senegal. Additional activities for Senegal included TİKA’s equipping of the Tivaouane Vocational Training Center for Girls, improving the educational infrastructure of the Sokhna Fatou Ba Ahmed Kindergarten, the first nursery school in Tivaouane, and the training of 10 people under the Thies Chamber of Commerce Leather Training Program which aimed to help alleviate unemployment in the region.

TİKA restores, protects and promotes Ottoman sites from Africa to Latin America, but our efforts have been particularly concentrated in the Balkan countries, Turkey’s immediate neighbourhood. Thanks to TİKA’s projects, many previously destroyed Ottoman sites have been restored, and today, enrich world cultural heritage. Projects in the field of cultural cooperation, including the restoration of historical sites, play a very important role in fostering positive relations and dialogue between people in different societies and in the construction of a harmonious and peaceful common future.

TİKA has supported over 100 projects across 18 different countries on 3 continents over the last three years. In the Balkan region, 28 sites across 7 countries were restored, and feasibility studies

for 30 additional projects were completed. In Africa, a total of 41 sites have been restored, 13 of which are concentrated in 3 countries. It is planned that an additional 24 sites across different African countries will be restored in the upcoming year, while 32 restoration projects are currently underway.

The Protection of Turkish Cultural Heritage Abroad and the Prevention of Illegal Trafficking of Turkish Cultural Heritage Board was established in accordance with the Prime Minister’s Notice No 2008/15. The driving motivation for the project is the improved coordination and strategic development of restoration sites abroad. The Board is currently continuing to work in coordination with TİKA.

The Keciove Mosque in the Kasbah region of Algeria is a symbol of the nation’s independence. The mosque is listed as a World Heritage site, and holds great importance for both Algeria and Turkey in that it represents the common history between our nations Through technical consultations and coordination with Algerian authorities, and particularly the Algerian Ministry of Religious Affairs and the Ministry of Culture, TİKA developed a plan for the restoration of the mosque. Close examinations of the interior decor of other Algerian mosques dating from the Ottoman era were conducted to ensure accuracy of the architectural characteristics of the period. The project is currently in its final stage, with interior decorations and calligraphy being carried out under the supervision of a delegation

of leading academicians and experts from Turkey.

The Keciova Mosque was first constructed in 1520 by Hayreddin Barbarossa. It was used as a military storage facility following the invasion of Algeria by the French in 1830. It was later demolished and replaced with a cathedral. This remained for 54 years. The demolition of the mosque angered Algerians, and damaged national dignity. In 1962, following Algerian independence, the mosque was restored and became a symbol of Algerian independence. During this conversion, the Christian symbols were removed, but the main architectural features of the cathedral were preserved. The current renovation project plays an important role in restoring the mosque to its original state.

The search for the tomb of Suleiman the Magnificent started in accordance with the Research Support Agreement signed between the Szigetvár Municipality of Hungary and TİKA. Thanks to TİKA’s financial support, a research group of Turkish and Hungarian experts was established. Remains of the tomb of the Ottoman sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, who died in 1566 while his troops were besieging the fortress of Szigetvar in southern Hungary, have finally been found. The tomb is understood to have been built over the spot where Suleiman’s tent stood and where he died. It is four kilometers away from the Szigetvár Castle. Objects discovered during the dig suggested the site was indeed Suleiman’s tomb, while additional evidence uncovered during further

excavations confirmed the find.

The dig will be helpful in understanding the military tactics and strategies used during the era of Suleiman the Magnificent. Archaeological works will also be carried out to unveil the whole of the stockade and the town. When the excavations are complete, the site will be designed as an archaeological park and will include a symbolic tomb, a visitors’ center, and historical replicas of a mosque, a lodge used by Mevlevi dervishes, and a military compound.

The finding is one of the most important archaeological excavations in recent years. These excavations will provide a better understanding of Ottoman history.

The historical Çifte Hammam from the Ottoman period was built in the 16th century in the city of Tetovo, in the northwest of Macedonia. The hammam sits alongside the Pena River and is opposite the historic Alaca Imaret Mosque. The baths reflect the characteristics of civilian buildings from its era. The bathhouse was built with an alternate wall technique, a unique architectural feature of the era. It has two large and two small domes, with the main dome having seven corners.

The Çifte Hamam was restored by TİKA in accordance with a project prepared by the Ministry of Culture of Macedonia. In addition to the restoration, a comprehensive drainage system has been installed around the

building and environmental management features, including exterior lighting have been installed.

The restoration of the Tetovo Hamam contributes to overall efforts to preserve the historical monuments of the Ottoman period, and protect cultural heritage. The site has already begun to be used as an art gallery and exhibition hall under the Ministry of Culture of Macedonia.

The Macedonian Minister of Culture Elizabeta Kanceska Milevska stated that the 16th century site has been restored to its previous glory and that “The restoration is just one of the projects symbolizing the friendship between Turkey and Macedonia”.

The restoration of Bang Uthit Mosque in Thailand, which was built in the early 20th century by Thai Muslims, was completed under a comprehensive project carried out by TİKA.

The Bang Uthit Mosque was constructed in Thailand’s capital of Bangkok during the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Siam, as Thailand was formerly known. Having been recognized by the Kingdom of Siam, the Ottoman Empire was asked to send a coat of arms to put on the front of the mosque.

Within the scope of the restoration project, roofing works, land plastering, gypsum plaster working, electrical line renovation, interior lighting and electrical outlets, exterior lighting, hidden lights, interior and exterior paint work, operable window and carpet installation, and stair case and external stair renovation were carried out. A women’s shrine and minaret were also restored, along with an alter and pedestal, and embroidery pencil work and gold foil application was also complete.

The coat of arms symbolizing the Ottoman

Empire, installed on the entry gate of the mosque to express the Thai Muslims’ loyalty to the Empire, was restored and covered with gold leaf.

The restoration of the mosque was complete within four months. The altar, pulpit and lectern of the mosque were renovated with special marble sent from Turkey. A mezzanine was constructed to provide women a place to pray, and a minaret in the Seljuk style was constructed.

The Bang Uthit Mosque has been used for over a century, along with its külliye. The tradition of ‘külliye’ is particularly marked in Turkish architecture, within the Seljuki period – particularly the Ottoman Empire and also in Timurid architecture and madrasas where religious education is provided.

The Bang Uthit Mosque is said to have served food for people in need for over a hundred years. Given the mosque’s historical importance, its renovation holds great significance to the Muslim community in the region.

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are independent actors that contribute to development cooperation through their unique and innovative approaches.

Turkish NGOs are at the forefront with flexible budgets and management, high voluntary human resource capacity, and fast operation as well as close contact with the public. In this respect, Turkey has become an important player in the international arena.

Increasing the effectiveness of external aid through cooperation with NGOs has become a priority objective for TİKA. NGOs contribute to increasing the international network and

capacity of TİKA and create new international cooperation opportunities for Turkey.

Different NGOs carry out projects and activities in different areas. In line with Turkey’s foreign policy priorities, NGOs have been supported in accordance with TİKA’s legislation, tasks, objectives and policies. In cooperation with NGOs, TİKA has supported projects in diverse contexts, but primarily in Africa between 2012 and 2015. Of these, a large amount have been related to health, and the nation which has received the most support was Niger.
