FACILITY FOR REFUGEES IN TURKEY: €127 MILLION TO BOOST EU'S LARGEST EVER HUMANITARIAN PROGRAMME

 To ensure refugees continue to be supported by the EU's largest humanitarian programme in Turkey, the
 Commission has today announced an additional €127 million to the Emergency Social Safety Net
 (ESSN) programme via the EU Facility for Refugees in Turkey. This new funding brings the total EU
 contribution to the programme to €1.125 billion.

 The ESSN programme provides refugees with monthly financial assistance through a special debit card
 which can only be used within Turkey and whose use is strictly monitored. It helps refugees integrate
 into the local economy and society as they pay for basic needs themselves such as food and rent.
