Turkey: 14-363: M&E Manager
Country: Turkey
Closing date: 31 May 2014
PROGRAM BACKGROUND
The conflict in Syria is entering its fourth year and shows no sign of cessation. At December 2013, there were an estimated 2.4 million registered Syrian refugees in neighboring countries, with an additional 1.7 million people estimated to become registered refugees in 2014 due to ongoing conflict, deteriorating economic opportunities and unavailability of social services in Syria. The UN estimates that 6.5 million people are internally displaced within Syria, and a total of 9.3 million are in need of humanitarian assistance. The ongoing protracted nature of the displacement is resulting in deteriorating economic opportunities and shrinking social services. As a result, families are becoming more vulnerable over time as they exhaust both their funds and coping mechanisms, and the systems in host countries are struggling to support their needs.
