INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
FOREWORD
FOREWORD
Turkey’s efforts for 12 years to exert her regional power capacity and scale up her global
influence have possibly been most visible in the field of development cooperation.
Development assistance has in this sense become a natural component of Turkey’s
posture in the international arena. Her strong soft power, transparency and candidness in
actions and relations have altered the perceptions of Turkey in international politics.
Turkey increased her official
development assistance by 29.7%
to exceed 3.3 billion USD.
Ever willing and endeavoring to extend a friendly hand to the oppressed wherever they
are regardless of ethnic, cultural, religious or political differences, Turkey has exerted
maximum effort to enhance relations with all countries. In this context, her official
development assistance has increased every year since 2002 when it was 85 million USD
to 3.3 billion USD in 2013, further reinforcing Turkey’s regional and international prestige.
Turkish assistance philosophy based on Turkey’s long standing traditions built by her
peculiar history and pious foundations distinguishes and gives particular quality to Turkish
assistance action. Conscious of the country’s history and mission, Turkish public entities
and non-governmental organizations by their selfless efforts to implement action and
Turkish private sector by investments in many countries have captured the world’s
attention, highlighting further responsibilities for all actors on the cause.
Development cooperation projects undertaken by Turkey are now taken as examples
across the world. In an age when the conventional north-south, donor-recipient paradigms
are fast eroding, Turkey aspires to sustain her efforts to contribute to solving global
problems through most rational and effective approaches within her means.
Turkey extended her helping hand
to 120 countries ranging from
Afghanistan to Yemen, from Haiti
to Philippines.
In an era when it is no longer possible to conceive geographies and sectors independently
and inter-dependency is ever increasing, Turkey on one hand relies on the guidance of
development cooperation models and principles on international platforms, and on the
other, guides her projects through fairness and spirit of solidarity, discharges all her duties
to achieve the global objectives in economic, social and environmental spheres.
Drawing the international attention to the zones of crisis and endeavoring for the
language of peace to prevail everywhere, Turkey makes tangible contributions and
touches directly upon helpless lives in countries such as Somalia, Myanmar and Central
African Republic where political instability mounts to humanitarian crises.
Turkey has, on the other hand, effectively maintained to date her “open-door policy”
for Syrians who have left their country since April 2011 after the onset of civil unrest,
with the total figure accommodated in camps having reached 210,000. Assisting the
Syrians who try to live on either in the camps or off-camp localities is an indispensable
humanitarian duty, in the face of which Turkey has sustained her historic posture by all her
national resources.
We are proud to have exceeded
our commitment of 200 million
USD in assistance to the Least
Developed Countries.
Engaged in assisting the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) as identified by the United
Nations, Turkey has taken pride for exceeding also in 2013 her commitment of 200
million USD annually to LDCs as promised by the Turkish Prime Minister in the Fourth
United Nations Conference on LDCs held in Istanbul in May 2011.
OECD reported that development assistance by OECD-DAC members rose by 6.1% in
real terms in 2013 to reach 134.8 billion USD the highest level ever recorded. Turkey,
in contrast, increased her official development assistance by 29.7% to exceed 3.3 billion
USD. This ranked Turkey among the countries with highest rate of increase in assistance
as was the case in recent years.
Turkey extended her helping hand to 120 countries in 2013 ranging from Afghanistan to
Yemen, from Haiti to Philippines. TIKA has continued to assume an important role as the
executive soft power of our foreign policy.
Having assumed the daunting task of coordinating all Turkish public entities to smoothly
execute the process of development assistance, TIKA also directly monitors projects and
responds immediately to all arising needs through its Programme Coordination Offices
across the world.
I heartily congratulate all Turkish public entities, including particularly TIKA, which
selflessly devote their time and energy and work diligently towards implementing Turkish
development assistance programmes and projects, and highly praise our distinguished
organization TIKA for compiling this Turkish Development Assistance Report.

Turkey has advanced her
cooperation efforts in the
international arena in recent years in
parallel with her economic growth,
and taken actions of economic,
commercial, technical, social, cultural
and educational cooperation in all
parts of the world regardless of
development levels of partnering
countries.

Turkish total development
assistance reached 4,347 million
USD in 2013 consisting of official
and private flows.
Through implementing an increasing number of effective and efficient projects every year,
Turkey further cements her prestige in development cooperation. Acting on the ideal that
a philosophy of economics should prevail in the world whereby all humanity fairly enjoys
the global resources, and subscribing to the motto of Hodja Ahmet Yesevi “be the remedy
to whomever you see heart-broken,” Turkey, with her public entities, non-governmental
organizations and private sector, continued in 2013 to author projects appreciated by the
international community.
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
FOREWORD
Geographically, 55.9% of Turkish
development cooperation projects
in 2013 related to the Middle East.
Turkey has mobilized since 2011 all relevant public agencies, including particularly AFAD,
and Turkish NGOs to assist Syrians who have left their country due to civil unrest. Turkish
public entities and NGOs continued in 2013 to work selflessly to alleviate the sufferings of
Syrian guests.
Never indifferent to natural disasters and various crises around the globe, Turkey in 2013
was not indifferent particularly to the hunger directly affecting millions in Somalia as
declared a “humanitarian crisis” by the United Nations, the devastation caused by Typhoon
Haiyan, the conflict in Myanmar and the oppression in Philippines, and mobilized her
resources for the human beings in the said regions.
Against this background, Turkish total development assistance amounted to 4,347 million
USD in 2013, with 3,307 million USD through public entities as official development
assistance, 820 million USD by the Turkish private sector in direct investments, and
280.23 million USD of assistance by Turkish NGOs.
This new high brought Turkey closer to achieving the UN target of 0.7% in ODA/GNI ratio.
Turkish ODA/GNI ratios were 0.13% in 2010; 0.17% in 2011, 0.32% in 2012 by a record
setting increase, and finally 0.42% in 2013 maintaining the upward trend.
Turkish NGOs provided 280.23
million USD of assistance.
Geographically, 55.9% of Turkish development cooperation projects in 2013 related to the
Middle East, 24.7% to Africa, 15.3% to South and Central Asia, and 3.1% to Balkans and East
Europe.
Top ten recipients of Turkish aid in 2012 were in descending order Syria, Egypt,
Kyrgyzstan, Somalia, Afghanistan, Palestine, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Tunisia and Azerbaijan.
The preliminary data for 2013 reported to OECD-DAC indicated that Turkey was the
fourth largest donor of official humanitarian aid after the United States of America,
European Union and United Kingdom. By the humanitarian aid/GNI ratio, Turkey was the
top donor country in the world for her 0.21.
On this occasion, I wish to express my gratitude to the staff members of all Turkish
public entities including particularly TIKA who have assumed significant roles in Turkish
development cooperation across the world, the members of NGOs who are the presentday representatives of our tradition of pious foundations, Turkish private sector entities
which have strongly supported development cooperation efforts, and TIKA Department of
Strategy Development who has since 2004 compiled the figures and reported on Turkish
development assistance through a data management system in cooperation with all
relevant actors.

PREFACE
Turkey has advanced her cooperation efforts in the international arena in recent years
in parallel with her economic growth, and taken actions of economic, commercial,
technical, social, cultural and educational cooperation in all parts of the world regardless
of development levels of partnering countries. To that end, she has further reinforced,
through new actions, the already strong, long-standing relations and cooperation with
countries in the Balkans, Caucasus and Central Asia. Turkey has also extended her friendly
hand to all those in need in the Middle East and Africa. Projects developed to respond
to emergency needs of peoples in those regions as well as to solve chronic problems
of the region have given Turkey unprecedented experience in furthering development
cooperation.

2013
Turkey continued to implement her “open-door policy” for Syrians who have left
their country to enter the Turkish territory since April 2011 following the onset of
civil unrest.
Turkey has been keenly providing for all the needs of Syrian guests in camps in her
territory for more than 2 years. Owing to the process, Turkish humanitarian aid of
1,040 million USD in 2012 placed Turkey as the 4th largest donor (after USA, EU
and UK). In 2013, Turkish assistance to Syrian guests amounted to 1,571 million
USD.
Scholarship to 14,507 students...
549.64 million USD in funds
were provided to Programme
Assistance (PA), Technical
Cooperation (TC) and Assistance
to National NGOs.
Turkey has been for more than 20 years granting higher education scholarships
to international students. In this context, the Presidency of Turks Living Abroad
and Relative Communities which granted scholarships to 4,715 students in 2012
marked a three-fold increase in scholarship grants for a total of 14,507 students in
2013. In addition, 162 students were beneficiaries under the Doctoral Scholarship
Program for Foreign Students and the Postgraduate Scholarship Program for Least
Developed Countries implemented by the Scientific and Technological Research
Council of Turkey (TUBİTAK).
Programme Assistance, Technical Cooperation and Assistance to National
NGOs
More than 549 million USD in funds were provided in 2013 to Programme
Assistance (PA), Technical Cooperation (TC) and Assistance to National NGOs
efforts mostly executed by the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency
(TIKA) in cooperation with Turkish public entities. As disaggregated by sector, the
assistance to social infrastructure development received 91% of the total (excluding
concessional lending destination sectors).
Asylum Seekers
In 2013, a total of 71,353 persons of various nationalities entered the Turkish
territory. The figure was 70,431 for those who originated from the countries
specified by the World Bank as eligible for development assistance. Of these asylum
seekers, 16,415 were Syrians who illegally entered Turkey. The total expenditure
was 87.3 million USD for asylum seekers who arrived in our country in 2013.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Humanitarian Aid
Of the total Turkish ODA in 2013, 49% was reported as humanitarian aid. Reaching
a figure of 1,629.18 million USD, the Turkish humanitarian aid to GNI ratio went up
to 0.21 from 0.13 of the previous year, making Turkey the top donor country of
humanitarian aid in the world. By aid amount, Turkey ranked the third in the world
after the United States of America (USA) and United Kingdom (UK). The per capita
humanitarian aid was estimated as 22 USD in 2013.
OVERVIEW
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Turkish administrative costs of
89.2 million USD...
Administrative Costs
Administrative costs refer to all staff, administrative and logistic expenditures
incurred by agencies, either through central, field or foreign units, to carry out
their assistance activities. Turkey’s administrative costs in 2013 were estimated at
89.2 million USD, constituting only 3% of overall ODA.
The World Bank Group was the
largest recipient of Turkish
contributions at 70.17 million
USD…
Contributions to International Organizations (Multilateral Assistance)
Turkey paid 151 million USD in contributions to international organizations in
2013 by an increase of 36% on the 2012 figure of 110.80 million USD. The World
Bank Group was the largest recipient of Turkish contributions at 70.17 million
USD, followed by the United Nations Organization and executive agencies at
31.18 million USD.
Other Official Flows
Other official flows (OOF) refer to transactions by the official sector that do
not qualify as ODA because they are not mainly aimed at fostering economic
development or do not include the minimum grant element. In 2013, Turkey made
available 2.58 million USD in loans and received 15.64 million USD as repayment
of principal and interest for the loans disbursed in previous years.
Direct Investment
Concentrating more in South and Central Asia as in previous years, Turkish capital
exports now extend to all parts of the globe, from Africa to Latin America, from
Europe to the Far East. Top three investment destinations for Turkish capital in
2013 were Azerbaijan 449 million USD, India 80 million USD and Egypt 38 million
USD.
Development assistance by
Turkish NGOs totaled 280.23
million USD.
Development Assistance by Turkish NGOs
Development assistance by Turkish NGOs amounted to 280.23 million USD in
2013 achieving an increase of 85% on the previous year. Aid to Syria totaling
93.95 million USD constituted a third of the total figure. Turkish public entities
provided 47.7 million USD of funds to NGOs.

1.A. TOTAL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE IN 2013
Turkish economy estimated to
grow 5.2% annually in the 20122017 period.
The Turkish economy, an “emerging economy” in the global scale, was the 6th
largest among the member states of and candidates to the European Union (EU),
and the 16th largest in the world as at 2013 end in terms of Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) by purchasing power parity. Capturing the attention of the
international community by her economic growth in the past decade, Turkey
is poised to be the fastest growing economy among OECD members with her
estimated annual average growth rate of 5.2% in the 2012-2017 period by OECD
projections.
Relying on her tradition of sharing fostered by her history and culture, Turkey
developed cooperation projects in all parts of the world without discrimination,
and continuously increased her development assistance commensurately with the
dynamic and rapid economic growth.
Turkish assistance data are compiled according to the standards defined by the
OECD Development Assistance Committee (OECD-DAC). Terms, concepts,
categories and sectors in the report are all common standards agreed by the
international community on which Turkey has based her reports since 2003.
Turkey delivered a net total of 4,347 million USD in total development assistance
(TDA) in 2013 comprised of two major constituents: official flows and private
flows.

The Turkish economy continued in 2013 to perform well and sustained its high
growth trend over the past decade in the face of recent economic and political
crises in the surrounding countries. In terms of macroeconomic indicators year on
year, Turkey’s Gross National Income (GNI) grew in 2013 by 4% from 786 billion
USD to 789 billion USD, with per capita income rising from 10,505 USD to 10,782
USD.

3,307.67 million USD of ODA in
2013…
Official flows include official development assistance (ODA) to developing
countries by Turkish public entities, and other official flows (OOF) aiming to
foster economic development and welfare in developing countries but lacking
the minimum grant element to qualify as ODA. Turkey provided in 2013 a total of
3,307.67 million USD million USD in ODA and -13.06 million USD in OOF.
Private flows on the other hand consist of direct investments, i.e. capital exports,
to developing countries and the assistance by national non-governmental
organizations (NGOs). Direct investments qualify as development assistance for
their potential to stimulate economic development in recipient countries. A total
investment of 820 million USD by the Turkish private sector was reported in total
development assistance for 2013.
280.23 million USD in aid by
NGOs…
Ever working selflessly for humanitarian aid, Turkish NGOs actively worked in
2013 and delivered 280.23 million USD in aid; 232.53 million USD of which was
through own resources of NGOs while Turkish public entities transferred 47.7

1.C. 2013 OFFICIAL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE BY CATEGORY
Official Development Assistance
of 3,307 million USD…
Official development assistance, as the most important component in
development assistance, is delivered to developing countries through:
• directly by the public sector,
• through national or international NGOs,
• within the framework of public-private partnership,
• by contributions to international organizations.
The first three of the delivery modalities above are classified as bilateral, while the
last as multilateral.
The multilateral component of development assistance is operated through
international organizations which implement programmes and projects through
the participation and budgetary contribution of members and/or directly conduct
loan facilitation operations. Donors’ contributions and membership dues to
international organizations are taken into account in this category.
Bilateral assistance of 3,156.67
million USD…
OECD-DAC members have identified such international organizations as a list;
thus, contributions or membership dues to international organizations not in the
list do not qualify as assistance because they are not intended for development.
In 2013, Turkey delivered 3,307 million USD in ODA, with 3,156.67 million USD
of bilateral assistance and 151 million USD of multilateral contributions. Of the
bilateral assistance, 2,596.12 million USD was in grants and 560.55 million USD in
concessional loans.

Regular annual statistical conferences by OECD-DAC endeavor to ensure that all
countries compile data on the same basis where representatives of donors define
new categories as necessary, suggest various ways to better compile and classify
statistics.
In addition to novelties introduced by OECD-DAC, Turkish assistance has
diversified in recent years with new entries in budget items not previously
reported. Turkey reported concessional lending and direct support delivered
to developing countries’ budgets for the first time in 2012, and sustained such
assistance in 2013.

1.D.1. CONCESSIONAL LENDING
Assistance qualifies as official development assistance if all of the following three
requirements are fulfilled:
- provided by public sector,
- intended to promote economic development and welfare,
- concessional in character, involving at least a grant element of 25%.
Lending on concessional terms is defined as “concessional loan/debt”. In other
words, the recipient receives financing on terms more favorable (i.e. “softer”) than
the market, in the form of either lower interest rates or longer maturity or both.
The first Turkish ODA of such type was delivered in 2012 to Egypt under a
Protocol signed in September 2012 between the Turkish Undersecretariat of
Treasury and the Egyptian Ministry of Finance, as two countries of long-standing
historical, cultural and friendly ties.
1 billion USD of concessional
lending to Egypt…
The said Protocol provided for a loan of up to 1 billion USD to Egypt to
stimulate economic growth and development of Egypt through financing public
infrastructure projects.

Technical cooperation strengthens

1.D.3. PROGRAMME ASSISTANCE, TECHNICAL COOPERATION AND
IMPUTED STUDENT COSTS
Technical cooperation (TC) refers to strengthening the capacities and
effectiveness of individuals, organizations and institutions through transfer
of ideas, technologies, knowledge and skills to foster development in partner
countries. In addition to transfer of knowledge and skills, it does intend to create
an enabling environment to disseminate knowledge and skills so transferred.
In essence, it means helping the recipients improve their functioning through
self-help. Technical cooperation relies on short, medium and long term provision
of expertise, training, advice, research and equipment; and involves “hard”
cooperation, i.e. engineering/supervision and technical feasibility studies as well as
“soft” cooperation, i.e. training and management advice.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of technical cooperation activities:
• Scholarships in secondary and higher education to students from developing
countries
• Training courses designed to build institutional capacities, vocational skills,
• Equipment, materials and supplies in training courses
• Assignment/secondment of trainers, instructors
• Printed materials for capacity development
• Events of intellectual activity such as seminars, symposia,
• Contests, e.g. essay writing, mathematics Olympics
• Other similar activities designed to enhance capacity.
Programme Assistance (PA) has two basic components: investment projects and
programming aid.
Technical cooperation covers long
or short term provision of training,
advice, research support.
Investment projects involve all activities designed to enhance the physical capital
of a recipient country and associated technical cooperation.
Programming aid covers support to budget and balance of payments, funding for
fixtures and commodities and sectoral assistance.

Formal education serves as the
second most important stage that
makes good citizens…
While family is the primary source of upbringing good persons, formal education
serves as the second most important stage that makes good citizens. In this sense,
the education sector constitutes a priority destination for Turkish development
assistance, getting a share of 20% of official development assistance, and about
half of the assistance in Social Infrastructure and Services sector.
Turkish assistance involves such projects as building schools in distant rural
parts, constructing new and modern educational facilities, renovating old school
buildings, supplying modern equipment and educational materials, training
the administrators, teachers and trainers for underdeveloped and developing
countries.
37 schools built in 2013.
In 2013, Turkey built 37 new schools, equipped and modernized 60 educational
facilities and 42 classrooms, established 63 computer laboratories, and repaired
43 classrooms and facilities. In addition, educational materials were provided to
modernize 43 training centers.

IMPUTED STUDENT COSTS
Turkey has been for more than 20 years granting higher education scholarships
to international students. The Presidency of Turks Living Abroad and Relative
Communities and the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey
(TUBITAK) support the education in Turkey for foreign students. The “Grand
Student Project” initiated in 1992 and implemented under the Ministry of National
Education serving thousands of students is now operated under the name of
Turkish Scholarships by the Presidency of Turks Living Abroad and Relative
Communities. The said agency announces on the Internet the application dates
and requirements for associate, bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral programs.
Applications for education in Turkey increase every year. The figure was 45,000
in 2012, and reached 55,000 in 2013 with 31,000 for associate or bachelor’s
programs, and 24,000 for master’s and doctoral programs. The scholarship award
systems of 70 countries were examined under a study to establish a brand.
Applications for scholarships are evaluated on the basis of academic achievement.
• The Presidency of Turks Living Abroad and Relative Communities which
granted scholarships to 4,715 students in 2012 marked a three-fold increase in
scholarship grants for a total of 14,507 students in 2013. The agency provided
scholarship to bachelor’s students from 119 countries.
• TUBITAK implements the Research and Doctoral Scholarship for Foreigners.
The purpose of the program is to contribute to scientific interaction and
enhance international chains of research through financial support to talented
high performing students from foreign countries who apply for postgraduate
scholarships in Turkey in the fields of Natural Sciences, Engineering and
Technological Sciences, Medical Sciences, Agricultural Sciences, Social Sciences
and Humanities. The program receives applications twice a year. In 2013,
TUBITAK supported 148 students from developing countries and 29 students
from developed countries for education in Turkey.
• Another scholarship program implemented by TUBITAK is the Doctoral
Scholarship Program for Foreign Students. Under the program 14 students
from 10 countries received education in Turkey: Ethiopia 4, Tanzania 2, and 1
from each of Bangladesh, Mozambique, Nigeria, Somalia, Afghanistan, Sudan,
Burundi and Gambia.
Provision of medical equipment,
operations, health screening and
supplies…
HEALTH
Turkey is bound by no limits in sharing her knowledge and experience in health for
a better world. Presenting a model for other developed countries as well, Turkish
efforts also serve as a model for development cooperation process. In this context,
many actions were taken in 2013 all on grant basis: construction and repairs
of hospitals and polyclinics, provision of medical equipment, performance of
surgical operations, health screening, provision of medical supplies, and training of
specialists physicians aimed to build capacity. Turkish NGOs played an important
role in the process working closely with Turkish public entities.

36 water wells drilled in Mali…
10 water wells being drilled in
Senegal…
While a large part of the Earth is covered by water, only 2.5% consists in fresh
water, two thirds of which are glaciers or permanent snow. The quantity of fresh
water held in lakes, rivers, aquifers and dams is approximately 8,000 km3. The
world consumes about 3,800 km3 of fresh water a year, with 70% for agriculture,
20% for industries and 10% for homes. On the other hand, potable water
resources are not equally distributed over the Earth. Therefore, the water problem
varies by region. Fresh water sources are easily affected by external factors
such as pollution, making it a vital issue in water-scarce regions to protect water
sources. Turkey undertakes major works for the promotion of access to clean
water under the Millennium Development Goals adopted by the United Nations
Summit.
The following are examples of projects in water and sanitation engaged in 2013.
43 water wells drilled in Niger…
West African Access to Clean Drinking Water Programme
Under the West African Access to Clean Drinking Water Programme by TIKA
in cooperation with the Turkish General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works
(DSI), the initial goal was to drill water wells in Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Senegal,
Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Gambia, Ghana, Benin and Togo. Accordingly, as at 2013
end:
• Mali: 36 water wells drilled,
• Niger: 43 water wells drilled, and 28 water pumps delivered,
• Senegal: Works underway to drill 10 water wells.
Sudan: 28 water wells were drilled in 6 states as a result of works started in 2010,
serving approximately 300,000 people.
18 water wells drilled in Georgia
serving 30,000 people.
Georgia: As a result of works started in some villages where access to clean
water was difficult, a total of 18 wells were drilled in 2012 and 2013 serving
approximately 30,000 people.

WATER AND SANITATION
As water consumption rapidly increases due to the increasing population in the
world, fresh water resources diminish rapidly due to environmental pollution and
industrialization. Water is a top agenda item for the international community
primarily due to the water needs and climate change exacerbated by population
growth, rapid urbanization and industrialization. It is likely that the water
problem will evolve into a water crisis within 20 years in some regions of the
world including the Middle East. Therefore, it is generally agreed that this nonsubstitutable natural resource will be one of the strategically important resources
in the 21st century.

“It is necessary to conceive humanity as one body and each nation a part
thereof; therefore, any pain at a fingertip will affect all other parts of the
body. Where a disturbance occurs at any part of the world, we cannot and
should not say “not my business”; we must take interest in such disturbance as
if it occurred between us.”
Following the Great Leader’s dictum, Turkey actively takes part in peacebuilding missions under her international obligations, national interests and
within her means and capabilities.

ECONOMIC INFRASTRUCTURE
Infrastructure services are necessary and priority services to foster economic
development in a country or region. While such services do not directly increase
total production, they are the driver of development. Economic infrastructure is
grouped under five subsectors:
TRANSPORT AND WAREHOUSING
An indispensable part of our daily lives, the transport system continuously impacts
the society by economic and social inputs. High quality transportation services
facilitate economic activities and reduce costs. Turkey engages both in programs
of knowledge and experience sharing to develop transport infrastructure of
countries and in costly projects on grant basis such as building roads and bridges
in urgent cases. Here are some examples of projects accomplished in 2013.

Afghanistan: Construction of Darya Khan bridge
Darya Khan Bridge in Aybek district of Samangan province was demolished due to
heavy rains, and rebuilt by Turkey. It is of particular importance for local transport
because it is the only bridge that connects 10 villages to the city center. The new
bridge is 35m long, 11m wide, has two lanes and walkways of 1.5m wide on both
sides and fences. The project also included the construction of a rock structure of
80m long and 3m wide to regulate the river bed, and the road lighting by 6 light

hardest hit by hunger…
Agriculture and Livestock
Millions of human beings die every year due to malnutrition and starvation.
And millions are far from living a decent life for the same reason. The Food
and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) revealed that 842 million people, or one
out of eight people, in the world lacked adequate food to carry on their lives in
the 2011-2013 period. On the other hand, malnutrition causes 45% of infant
mortalities. In Asia-Pacific region, 578 million human beings suffer from hunger;
and in Africa, one out of every five persons or 238 million human beings, lack the
minimum adequate food to have active and healthy lives.

The World Food Programme (WFP) and developed countries targeted, in the
framework of Millennium Development Goals, to halve the number of people in
hunger by 2015. While progress is made every year towards the goals, it seems
improbable to fully achieve the goals by 2015. It is generally agreed the world has
enough food for everybody, thus the goals should not be beyond reach.

Kazakh farmers trained on apple
growing in Antalya and Isparta…
It is obvious that agricultural activities play an important role in fighting hunger. On
the other hand, agriculture has an important role in the process of industrialization
to foster economic prosperity of a country. Turkey has experienced and learned
from such problems in her recent history, now continues to share her experience
with all developing countries. In this context, the following are some examples of

Significant in the fight against hunger are issues such as the failure of developing
countries to efficiently utilize agricultural land; problems in transporting food and
agricultural products to markets; inadequate and unsafe storage techniques; water
scarcity; changing climatic conditions; greenhouse effects and global warming.

1.D.4. HUMANITARIAN AID
49% of Turkish ODA in 2013 was
humanitarian aid…
Humanitarian aid also includes reconstruction and rehabilitation, disaster
preparation and prevention (activities to alleviate disaster risk, early warning
systems). Humanitarian aid according to OECD-DAC criteria has many loopholes.
These criteria do not cover the long-term work such as disaster preparation
activities, or prevention of floods or conflicts. Or, as indicated above, while it
covers the repair of the existing infrastructure, it does not cover such long-term
activities as improving the infrastructure.
The said criteria classify the assistance to prevent diseases and aid to refugees
under extraordinary circumstances as humanitarian aid. Turkey is highly
susceptible to natural disasters due to her location on a particularly active
earthquake belt. For example, the 1999 earthquake in Marmara Region claimed
20,000 lives and directly affected more than 1 million people. In addition, Turkey is
witnessing adversities in the surrounding geographies of political crises.
The year 2013 was a marking point in the world in terms of humanitarian aid
volume with some 22 billion USD delivered across the globe. Millions of people
were seriously hit by three crises in the Central African Republic, Philippines and
Syria. The number of displaced persons reached 33.3 million in South Sudan and
Yemen alone. Afghanistan, Somalia, Sudan, Ethiopia and Palestine were the top
recipients of humanitarian aid in the past five years.
Of the total Turkish ODA in 2013, 49% was reported as humanitarian aid.
Reaching a figure of 1,629.18 million USD, the Turkish humanitarian aid to GNI
ratio went up to 0.21 from 0.13 of the previous year, making Turkey the top donor
country of humanitarian aid in the world. By aid amount, Turkey ranked the third
in the world after the United States of America (USA) and United Kingdom (UK).
The per capita humanitarian aid was estimated as 22 USD in 2013.
Turkey ranked the 1st in 2013 by
humanitarian aid/GNI ratio…
Turkish humanitarian aid in 2013 is categorized in two subsections: aid for Syrian
guests and humanitarian aid given due to wars, conflicts and natural disasters.

As an important category of development assistance, humanitarian aid is designed
to save lives, alleviate suffering and maintain and protect human dignity during
and in the aftermath of emergencies. It is based on the principles of impartiality,
neutrality and independence. Humanitarian aid is by nature short-term and
delivered during and immediately after an emergency. It includes shelter, water,
aid supplies such as medicine and services, emergency food aid (direct distribution
of food in the short run and complementary food programs etc), coordination,
protection and support services (logistics, telecommunications etc.).

Turkey has been responding to all needs of humanitarian aid for more than
two and a half years in the camps established by the Disaster and Emergency
Management Presidency (AFAD) for more than 430,000 Syrian citizens who have
left their country and arrived at our accommodation centers since April 2011
after the onset of civil unrest. Starting from May 2011, arriving Syrian citizens
were “temporarily admitted” and placed in the tent-cities in Yayladagi, Altinozu
and Reyhanli districts of Hatay province. As of 31 December 2013, 15 tentcities, 6 container-cities and 1 temporary admission center were already built

1,571 million USD in aid to Syrian
guests in 2013…
While the management of similar camps in Lebanon and Jordan was undertaken
by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Turkey has
been keenly providing for all the needs of Syrian guests in camps in her territory
for more than 2 years. Owing to the process, Turkish humanitarian aid of 1,040
million USD in 2012 placed Turkey as the 4th largest donor (after USA, EU and
UK). In 2013, Turkish assistance to Syrian guests amounted to 1,571 million USD
as calculated by AFAD, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Interior involved in the
operations.
Turkish public entities and Turkish NGOs provide services of accommodation,
food, healthcare, security, social activities, education, worship, interpretation,
communications, banking and other services in tent-cities and container-cities
which have a range of facilities such as trade area, police station, health center,
children’s playgrounds, TV viewing parlors, shops, education centers, water
reservoirs, treatment centers, transformers and power generators.
550 million USD of aid from AFAD
to Syrian guests…
45,696 Syrian children and youth
having education…
A special working group was formed by AFAD and TIKA to keep accurate
accounts of expenditures due to the volatility of activities because an excessive
number of Syrians arrive and leave, are accommodated in various camps in various
provinces and all works are in the nature of emergency response. The aid by
AFAD which transferred funds was estimated at 550,019,063 USD paid for such
expenditure items as purchases of containers; property rentals; purchases of food,
hygiene and clothing items; response and civil protection costs; vehicle rentals;
communications; procurement of studies and research etc. All expenditure figures
were collected monthly from the Governorships and Provincial Directorates of
Disaster Management.
On the other hand, the assistance by public entities other than the Ministry of
Health was assessed separately. The total figure was estimated at 549,188,354
USD for such items as assignment of more than 2,500 personnel in the camps for
various durations; educational aid to Syrian guests; land rentals for the camps etc.
In the context of educational activities for Syrian guests, 693 classrooms served as
educational grounds for 5,909 children at preschool; 21,399 children at primary
education and 18,388 youth at secondary education for a total of 45,696 children
and youth. In addition, 139 courses delivered vocational training to 2,857 persons.
Educational and healthcare services constituted an important part of services
for Syrian guests who continued their education both in existing public schools
and make-shift schools built by municipalities. In addition to formal schooling,
courses were delivered on literacy, computer literacy, hair-dressing, tailoring and
needlecraft, handicrafts. The total cost of schooling and courses in 2013 was 115
million USD.
A field study by AFAD revealed that the satisfaction rate of camp residents was
70% on educational services in the camps, with 10% dissatisfied.

1.D.5. ASYLUM SEEKERS
In terms of international migratory movements, Turkey has recently has become a
“destination country” evolving from a “transit country.” Considering the need for a
new organizational entity to effectively handle migration issues, Turkey established
the General Directorate of Migration Administration within the Ministry of
Interior. The new entity was equipped with power, as its counterparts in other
countries, to develop and implement migration policies and strategies, provided
with qualified staff and strong organizational setup focusing on human rights. The
General Directorate assumed the tasks of implementing migration policies and
strategies, ensuring coordination among entities involved, and actions relating
to foreigners entry and deportation into/from Turkey, international protection,
temporary protection and protection of victims of human trafficking. This would
ensure that asylum seekers arriving in our country be accurately registered.
70,431 of entrants into Turkey
originated from countries eligible
for development assistance…
The reporting category of Asylum Seekers includes the costs of hosting and of
moving to third countries incurred by donor countries on account of persons who
arrive from developing countries and reside in the donor country under the status
of refugee or asylum seeker.
In this context, assistance to asylum seekers includes such cost items as mission
expenses of teams assigned to process the applications of asylum seekers
(applicants), provision of education to children of asylum seekers, costs of
operating the hosting centers, aid in the form of cash, health, housing, clothing
and heating to asylum seekers, and travel costs for their return to own or third
countries.
87.3 million USD spent for asylum
seekers arriving in Turkey in 2013.
68
Afghan asylum seekers numbered
13,513 as the third largest group…
Development assistance reporting to OECD includes only the first 12 months of
asylum seekers in the host country. However, differing interpretations do exist for
the first 12 months; for example Belgium, France, Portugal and United Kingdom
start that period from the date of entry of an asylum seeker into their territory,
while Canada, Germany and USA do so from the date when the refugee status is
granted. This excludes those asylum seekers pending decision on their application.
Another practice covers both methods: Austria, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Japan,
Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland start the 12-month period
from the date of filing for asylum and extend beyond the final decision on the
refugee status. Costing however varies by country depending on the time before
or after receiving the asylum application and whether the application is granted.
In 2013, a total of 71,353 of various nationalities entered the Turkish territory.
The figure was 70,431 for those who originated from the countries eligible for
development assistance. Of these asylum seekers, 16,415 were Syrians who
illegally entered Turkey. The total expenditure was 87.3 million USD for asylum
seekers who arrived in our country in 2013.
Asylum seekers from Iraq were 15,561 in 2013, constituting the second largest
group after Syrians; and Afghan asylum seekers numbered 13,513 as the third
largest. A large part of Afghans were those who took refuge in Iran in the 1980s
following the Soviet invasion, then moved onto Turkey due to economic and
political reasons. Arrivals in Turkey from Iran, Somalia, Palestine and recently
Myanmar increased significantly due to political instability and life-threatening
circumstances in the origin countries.

Azerbaijan is the top destination
for Turkish direct investments.
Concentrating more in South and Central Asia as in previous years, Turkish capital
exports now extend to all parts of the globe, from Africa to Latin America, from
Europe to the Far East. Top three investment destinations for Turkish capital in
2013 were Azerbaijan 449 million USD, India 80 million USD and Egypt 38 million
USD.
Turkish companies operating in Azerbaijan give her a new look particularly through
projects in Baku. Providing jobs to more than 25,000 people in the country,
investments by 700 Turkish companies concentrate in telecommunications,
banking and insurance, transport, food sales, textiles, education, furniture and
construction materials. Turkey is the top direct investor in Azerbaijan.
India was another country in which Turkish companies took deeper interest,
concentrating their investments particularly in construction and contracting. India’s
particular needs for infrastructure build-up made her an attractive destination for
Turkish companies.

Assistance by Turkish NGOs
amounted to 280.23 million USD in
2013…
1.E.2. DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE BY NON-GOVERNMENTAL
ORGANIZATIONS
Non-governmental organizations engage in political, social, cultural, legal and
environmental activities on voluntary basis and independent of the official sector.
Backed by the Turkish society, Turkish NGOs set a good example of charitable
actions in a wide range both domestically and internationally. Many foundations
and associations formed in Turkey by people for common good endeavor to work
for the happiness of all human beings. It has always been the guiding principle of
Turkish NGOs to extend a helping hand, help heal wounds and provide material
and emotional support to all human beings without discriminating race, creed or
language.
Turkish NGOs engage in activities to improve the living conditions of other
societies instead of an interest-oriented policy. Accordingly, they undertake
assistance activities of accommodation, health, clothing, food in situations of
humanitarian crisis as well as post-crisis activities of education, vocational training,
cultural and health aid etc. to heal disaster victims.
In this context, Turkish NGOs have heavily engaged in aid to Syrian guests who
have left their country since 2011 due to civil unrest. The sensitivity of Turkish
people prompted many volunteers into healing the wounds of Syrian guests. As a
result, assistance by Turkish NGOs amounted to 280.23 million USD in 2013. Aid
to Syria totaling 93.95 million USD constituted a third of the total assistance by
NGOs.
Aid to Syria constituted a third of
the total assistance by NGOs…
Of the 280.23 million USD of NGO assistance in 2013, 122.88 million USD was in
the form of programme assistance and technical cooperation, 150.15 million USD
in humanitarian aid and 7.2 million USD in administrative costs. NGO assistance
was mostly provided through own resources while additionally, public entities
transferred 47.7 million USD of funds to NGOs.
A review of NGO assistance over time revealed significant increases in 2011 to
2013, where in 2011, 60% of NGO assistance was devoted to the alleviation of
famine in Somalia. In 2013, 40% of all NGO assistance went to the Syrian case.
The total assistance by Turkish NGOs since 2005 exceeded 1 billion USD.
As for the regional distribution of NGO assistance, the Middle East topped the list
on account of Syria as mentioned above, followed immediately by Palestine and
Lebanon. Assistance to such countries as Somalia, Niger, Chad and Mali placed
Africa as the second leading recipient of assistance by Turkish NGOs which, in
addition to humanitarian aid, engaged in health services, water projects such as
well drilling, and social activities such as aid to orphans.
Africa was followed by the South and Central Asia at a figure of 47.51 million USD,
with top recipients being Kyrgyzstan, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Azerbaijan.

Least Developed Countries (LDCs) is a definition introduced by the United
Nations in 1971. The definition refers to a country which has fundamental
structural challenges to development. To qualify as an LDC, a country should
be poor in human assets, economically vulnerable and, as the most important
criterion, have low per capita income. Accordingly, countries with a three-year
average of per capita income lower than 900 USD are classified as LDC. The
number of LDCs rose to 50 upon the inclusion of Senegal in 2000 and of Timor
L’este in 2003. Then, Cape Verde graduated in 2007 and Maldives in 2011. As of
the end of 2003, Samoa graduated but South Sudan was added, making again a
list of 48 countries.

The Fourth United Nations Conference on LDCs, the first of which was held in
1981, was held in 2011 in Istanbul where the Istanbul Action Programme was
adopted elaborating the actions by 2020 both in the relevant countries and
in the international arena for the development of LDCs. Covering all sectors
ranging from trade to industry, from tourism to education and health, the Istanbul
Action Programme focuses on sustainable economic development, development
of human and productive capacity, reducing economic vulnerability and good
governance at all levels which are in line with the structural transformation goals
of LDCs. Stipulating 47 objectives and 246 actions for 48 LDCs of approximately
1 billion population, the priority goal of the Programme is to eradicate poverty in
these countries.
The Turkish Prime Minister announced a comprehensive Economic and
Technical Cooperation Package for LDCs in the Conference, including an annual
commitment of 200 million USD for economic and technical cooperation
programmes and projects for LDCs starting from 2012. Acting accordingly, Turkey
exceeded her commitments, devoting 337.27 million USD in 2012 and 286.31
million USD in 2013 to implement programmes and projects for LDCs.
As in 2012, Somalia received the largest share of assistance to African countries

Bilateral ODA to the Least
Developed Countries rose by
12.3% in real terms to about USD
30 billion.
While donors’ real ODA increased, OECD took note of a trend of a falling share
of aid going to the neediest sub-Saharan African countries. Aid to the African
continent fell by 5.6% to USD 28.9 billion. “It is heartening to see governments
increasing their development aid budgets again, despite the financial constraints
they are currently facing. However, assistance to some of the neediest countries
continues to fall, which is a serious concern” said OECD Secretary-General Angel
Gurría.
• According to 2013 preliminary data, net ODA from DAC countries stood
at 134.8 billion USD, corresponding to 0.3% of Gross National Income.
Development aid rose by 6.1% in real terms in 2013 compared to 2012.
• Aid to developing countries grew steadily from 1997 to a first peak in 2010.
It fell in 2011 and 2012 as many governments took austerity measures and
trimmed aid budgets. The rebound in aid budgets in 2013 meant that even
excluding the five countries that joined the DAC in 2013 (Czech Republic,
Iceland, Poland, Slovak Republic and Slovenia), 2013 DAC ODA was still at an
all-time high.
• Within bilateral net ODA, non-grant disbursements (including equity
acquisitions) rose by about 33% in real terms from 2012. Total grants rose 7.7%
in real terms.
• Net aid for core bilateral projects (excluding debt relief grants and humanitarian
aid) rose by nearly 2.3% in real terms and core contributions to multilateral
institutions by 6.9%.
• Despite the increase in development aid in 2013, bilateral aid to sub-Saharan
Africa was USD 26.2 billion, a decrease of 4.0% in real terms from 2012. Aid to
the African continent fell by 5.6% to USD 28.9 billion.
• Bilateral net ODA to the Least Developed Countries rose by 12.3% in real
terms to about USD 30 billion. However, there was exceptional debt relief for
Myanmar in 2013.

GNI was 0.19%. Most of the increase was due to humanitarian aid and support
for fighting HIV/AIDS. By contrast US net bilateral aid to LDCs fell by 11.7%
in real terms to USD 8.4 billion due in particular to reduced disbursements to
Afghanistan. Net ODA disbursements to sub-Saharan Africa fell by 2.9% to USD
8.7 billion.

ODA rose or fell in DAC-EU countries as follows:
1. Germany (+3.0%): due to a rise in bilateral lending and higher contributions to
international organizations
2. Austria (+0.7%)

Net ODA rose or fell in other DAC countries as follows:
1. Australia (-4.5%): as it delayed expenditure due to reprioritization of its aid
program to focus on the Indo-Pacific region.
2. Canada (-11.4%): due to exceptional payments made in 2012 for climate
change and debt relief and to budget cuts affecting 2013
3. Iceland (+27.4%): as it is increasing its aid programme
4. Japan (+36.6%): due to increases in debt forgiveness and bilateral lending
5. Korea (+4.8%): due to scaling up aid overall
6. New Zealand (-1.0%): due to an increasing aid programme being offset by
inflation
7. Norway (+16.4%): due to planned growth in the development cooperation
budget, together with an increase in disbursements to Brazil
8. Switzerland (+3.4%): reflecting the overall scaling up of its aid to reach 0.5% of

ASSISTANCE BY DONOR
According to the Global Humanitarian Assistance Report 2014 Highlights by
Development Initiatives, due to the extraordinary scale of humanitarian crises and
needs in 2013, the level of international humanitarian response rose to a record
22 billion USD. 2013 saw millions of people affected by three very different crises
– in Syria, Central African Republic and the Philippines – each designated as the
highest level emergency by the United Nations. In 2013, 37% of funding for UNcoordinated appeals went to the Syria crisis.
