    The Regional Refugee and Resilience Plan (3RP - https://www.3rpsyriacrisis.org) focuses on Protection, Education and Livelihoods programs to support refugees in Turkey and working to ensure self-reliance of vulnerable groups and promote social cohesion among refugees and host communities. Its structured psychosocial and protection sessions, informed by prevailing needs of children and strengthened protection and wellbeing among refugee, youth and adults to enhance their positive coping and wellbeing, had reached 4,999 individuals by 31 December 2018.

    In an inclusive and holistic approach, Kırıkhan Community Center (KCC) enhanced the Syrians’ and host communities’ capacity to anticipate, manage, and recover from shocks and improve their mutual relationship. 'Cash for training' projects have been planned to be implemented in/with Kırıkhan as well. Kırıkhan exceeded its target reaching 1,876 members by 31 December 2018. Kırıkhan also aimed to empower vulnerable members of the Syrian and host communities by improving their access to livelihood opportunities, to sustain a dignified life and become self-reliant through the provision of educational trainings and language courses. Refugees have been provided with the skills that allowed them to find formal employment opportunities. By 31 December 2018, 1,237 had been reached through this skills programe.
