NATIONAL SOCIETY PROFILE The Turkish Red Crescent Society, established in 1868, is the largest humanitarian organization in the country. As an auxiliary to the public authorities, the National Society provides aid for vulnerable people in need during disasters and non-emergency contexts. It uses its extensive in-country assets, human resources, and government and civil society relations for the effective and efficient implementation of activities across all sectors. This includes disaster management as well as social, migration and blood services. The Turkish Red Crescent Society’s vision is to serve as a model in humanitarian aid services in Türkiye and around the world, and to stand by people in their most challenging times. Prepared with the contributions of all stakeholders, the Turkish Red Crescent’s strategic plan for 2021–2030 comprises a total of 11 goals to reinforce social resilience and develop strong governance and institutional trust. With a mandate to support the public authorities in humanitarian services, the National Society strives towards eliminating hunger and poverty in society, helping migrants and promoting healthy ageing, meeting blood needs sufficiently, developing resilience against natural hazards and human-made disasters, and creating a more viable environment with better access to education. In its objective of enhancing strong governance and institutional trust, the Turkish Red Crescent aims to promote a network of transparency in financial management, supported by technology, efficiency and accountability. It also seeks to improve stakeholder relations and financial sustainability. As part of its migration response, the Turkish Red Crescent has built a strong capacity which it commits to share with other stakeholders to reach more communities in need. This focuses on cash and social services – including multi-sector needs such as health, protection and livelihoods through a nationwide network of community centres. It also emphasizes planning, monitoring, evaluation and reporting, together with community engagement and accountability approaches.
