Türkiye, an upper-middle-income country with a population of approximately 86 million in 2026, has maintained steady economic growth over the past five years, demonstrating resilience despite global and domestic pressures. In this context, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Türkiye has launched the implementation of its 2026–2030 Country Programme Document (CPD), structured around four strategic pillars: Good Governance, Social Development, Competitive Economic Development, and Climate, Environmental Sustainability and Resilience. Delivering this ambitious programme requires clear, coherent and impactful communication to effectively position UNDP’s results and value proposition.
The Country Office (CO) continues to strengthen its strategic partnership with the Government—including through increased government financing—while expanding collaboration with the European Union, international financial institutions (IFIs), and the private sector through both new and ongoing joint programmes.
The CO manages a large and diverse portfolio, with annual delivery exceeding US$40 million, consistently ranking among the top five offices in the Regional Burreau for Europe and CIS (RBEC) region. UNDP continues to support Türkiye in hosting approximately 2.5 million Syrian refugees, with a strong focus on job creation, economic inclusion and resilience-building for both refugees and host communities, supported by significant EU funding. Beyond refugee response, UNDP contributes to enhancing Türkiye’s economic competitiveness through support to innovation, digital transformation and productivity growth, including targeted interventions that strengthen SMEs, promote inclusive value chains, and expand opportunities for women’s economic empowerment and rural development. Partnerships with the private sector are increasingly central to these efforts, enabling scalable solutions, access to markets, and sustainable impact. Following the ratification of the Paris Agreement in 2021, Türkiye has adopted an ambitious climate agenda, including a net-zero emissions target by 2053 and a broader green transformation, with a focus on climate resilience and disaster risk reduction. The hosting of COP31 in 2026 further underscores Türkiye’s leadership and the need for strong communication and advocacy to highlight results.
Türkiye’s role as a geostrategic actor and emerging donor also shapes UNDP’s positioning. Development interventions are increasingly designed not only for domestic impact but also for regional and global replication. UNDP and Türkiye maintain a strong multi-level partnership spanning country, regional and global engagement. Türkiye hosts both the UNDP Istanbul Regional Hub (IRH) and the Istanbul International Center for Private Sector in Development (ICPSD), and contributes financially to UNDP’s core resources, regional programmes and ICPSD.
This dynamic partnership landscape further underscores the importance of consistent, high-quality communication to amplify results, showcase innovation, and reinforce UNDP’s strategic positioning.
