UNCT Results Report 2022

FOREWORD by Resident Coordinator Alvaro Rodriguez: 

It is with great pleasure that I present this report, highlighting the collaborative efforts between the United Nations and the Government of Türkiye in 2022. This period witnessed significant progress in various areas, as well as the recognition of ongoing challenges that require our collective attention.
The United Nations, in close partnership with the Government of Türkiye, worked diligently to extend social inclusion, resilience, peer-to-peer learning, and community participation. We recognize the potential for accelerated progress by engaging with stakeholders such as municipalities and the private sector, and we encouraged further expansion of these partnerships.

Women's empowerment remained a central focus of our collective efforts. Türkiye made significant progress in implementing national policies and legal frameworks aligned with select international norms and standards.

Türkiye's commitment to hosting a large refugee population is demonstrated in its hosting of the largest number of refugees in the world. Türkiye’s Law on Foreigners and International Protection (LFIP) facilitated access to public services and livelihood opportunities, contributing to sustainable development in the country. The United Nations continued to support Türkiye's progressive approach through effective migration and international protection management and promoting social cohesion.

Economic challenges emerged in 2022. The United Nations responded by prioritizing human-centered development, decent work, and entrepreneurship. Efforts were made to invest in productivity, innovation, and skills development programs, with a focus on supporting vulnerable groups, such as women and young people.

Climate action and sustainable development were also at the forefront of Türkiye's agenda. The nation's climate ambitions were reinforced by the announcement of its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) at COP27, with technical support from the United Nations.

Sincerely,
Alvaro RODRİGUEZ
UN Resident Coordinator
