3.2 Significant operations in the current accounting period (continued)
(b) Emergency Social Safety Net (ESSN) programme
The ESSN programme, funded by the European Union and its member states under the European Civil Protection and
Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO)’s Facility for Refugees in Turkiye (FRIT), through a partnership between the IFRC
and Turkish Red Crescent Society provides monthly cash assistance via debit cards to the most vulnerable refugees in
Turkiye. Türkiye is home to the largest refugee population in the world. The country hosts more than 4 million refugees,
many of whom are from Syria and fleeing a ten-year long conflict. It is estimated that over 98% of refugees in Türkiye are
living outside of camps. Every month, each family member receives 155 Turkish Lira, enabling them to decide for themselves
how to cover essential needs like rent, transport, bills, food and medicine. The programme offers additional quarterly top-ups
based on family size.
The ESSN is the largest humanitarian programme in the history of the EU and the largest programme ever implemented by
the IFRC.
There are three basic components to the ESSN programme:
Component A: Beneficiary identification
Component B: Provision of timely cash support to beneficiaries to meet basic needs
Component C: Comprehensive monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning
Pertinent information concerning the ESSN agreement between IFRC and ECHO is summarised in the table below.
