Introduction
4
Throughout the process of development
and transformation of the past decade,
Turkey has always been sensitive to the
developments taking place both within its
borders and beyond. The country has taken
on a constructive and reconciliatory role in
the context of ever-changing dynamics of a
globalised world. National institutions have
replicated Turkish foreign policy’s success;
and secured a place in the new global
agenda thanks to their endeavours
Turkey’s development assistance has
increased continuously since 2002 before
peaking in 2012. The country continued to
provide assistance to partner countries and
communities in 2012; and strengthen its
responsible and virtuous attitude vis-àvis international issues, which has always
been the case throughout its history.
Without doubt, Turkish Cooperation and
Coordination Agency is one of the agencies
to which Turkey owes its success. As a
helping hand extended by Turkey, TİKA
works towards flying our flag proudly
wherever the partner country in need of
help may be situated.
TİKA transforms the
resources available in our
country into concrete
projects. Offering hope
at times of helplessness
regardless of the location or
the identity of recipients in
the Balkans, Middle East,
Central Asia, Africa, East and
South Asia, TİKA pursues
its activities in a range of
areas including education,
health, water supply and
agricultural development
with great determination thus
representing the generosity of
our people.
The developments, which took place in
North Africa and the Middle East, have
resulted in greater interest for Turkey
among friendly and brotherly nations. In
this respect, these developments have laid
new responsibilities on Turkey parallel to
new expectations placed on the country.
We are working towards minimizing the
challenges presented by this transition
process. We are also realizing within
the shortest possible amount of time,
long-term projects to address the
chronic problems experienced by these
populations. This disinterested assistance
is fed by a sense of solidarity taking its
roots from our history.

PREFACE
TİKA coordinates capacity-building
programs in the Turkic Republics, which
have gained independence in our ancestral
lands in Central Asia. The ever-increasing
interest towards these programs is an
indicator of the level of success. Projects
are designed in order to preserve and
protect our heritage, primarily the Orkhon
Inscriptions. Thus, the past is ever more
connected to the future.
Just like in the example of the Orkhon
Inscriptions, TİKA designs restoration and
conservation projects in order to restore
our ancestral heritage, primarily in the
Balkans, as well as in other regions where
our ancestors used to live. Such heritage
sites are, by no means, abandoned to their
fate. Under TİKA’s leadership, efforts will
continue to maintain the sensitivity towards
our historic sites in terms of identifying
and restoring this heritage back to its
original condition. In this framework,
TİKA also works towards preserving Gazi
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s heritage. The
house where Atatürk’s father, Ali Rıza Bey
was born in Kocacik village, Macedonia
was reconstructed to be preserved by
future generations. The house reflects
the architectural features of the region
and period in which it was originally
constructed.
TİKA carried out a total
of 1879 projects, including
1400 country-level and 1400
regional projects in 2012.
96 countries benefited from
TİKA support in the same
period. Under the leadership
of the Prime Minister of
Turkey, Turkey’s development
assistance has increased 27.5
times in the past decade.
Our country will continue
to extend a helping hand to
those in need and share its
resources.
Without doubt, TİKA will continue to expand
its area of activity by taking on new roles
while continuing to carry out projects that
demonstrate the benevolence of our people
and our State.

Preface
From 2002 to 2012, the
amount of project financing to
Caucasia and the Middle East
has been seven times greater
than in the previous decade.

Many countries and communities across
the world have struggled to overcome
different types of challenges throughout
history. At times, these challenges have
been in the form of natural disasters,
internal conflicts or wars. They have
negatively affected many lives and even
claimed many lives
Economic crises and political instability
have changed global dynamics. While
some countries gained from this process
others continued to suffer losses. With its
growing economy, Turkey has continued
to achieve positive outcomes and
secured a significant place in the context
of changing global dynamics. Having
assumed responsibility for sharing these
gains at the international level, Turkey has
always been ready to make its resources
available to contribute to other countries’
development efforts. To this end, Turkey
has mobilised its resources with sincerity
and courage wherever they were needed.
Turkey’s motivation has given momentum
to increasing amounts of development
assistance in recent years. Coordinating
development cooperation efforts
carried out by national institutions and
organisations and conducting cooperation
efforts in 96 countries, Turkish Cooperation
and Coordination Agency (TİKA) has
contributed significantly to Turkey’s
success in the field.
TİKA was established in order to contribute
to the development efforts of the Central
Asian countries. Today, TİKA carries out
activities over a wide geography from
Africa to Latin America. In this framework,
TİKA conducts efforts in order to provide
emergency assistance to the countries
affected from the Arab Spring movement
and the regions affected from the severe
draught in East Africa.
Extending a hand to those in need with
projects in education and healthcare, as
well as, social infrastructure, services
and manufacturing sector, TİKA supports
development efforts in several countries.
Education and health forms two significant
dimensions in TİKA projects. Up to 2012,
TİKA has supported a total of 1879 projects,
including 250 education and health-related
projects focused on construction and
furbishing. To date, we have contributed
to repair and refurbishing work at a total
of 100 educational institutions, as well as,
the construction of 21 educational facilities
in Afghanistan, Palestine, Kirghizstan,
Kosovo, Macedonia, Senegal and Serbia.
The hospitals constructed in Somalia,
Soudan, Palestine and Kirghizstan are
just some of our projects carried out in
order to address a significant portion of
the requirements of the people of these
regions.
We also are working meticulously in
the field of vocational training projects.
TİKA contributes to the establishment of
education centres in Albania, Georgia,
Kenya, Kosovo, Uzbekistan, Somalia,
Soudan and Yemen thus making significant
contributions to lowering unemployment
rates. For instance, the Irade Project,
which is implemented in Palestine, is
expected to significantly contribute to the
employment of disabled war victims.
Another significant area of activity for TİKA
is cooperation for institutional capacity
building. In 2012, hundreds of experts and
high-level administrators received training
in this framework. The programs were
observed to yield results, which increased
interest among the cooperating countries
towards these programs. 14,429 individuals
received training from 2009 to 2012. The
Protocol on Cooperation in Healthcare,
signed with Kazakhstan envisages training
for 190 doctors. 64 doctors completed
a training program and were awarded a
certificate in 2012.
9
10
With an ever-widening scope, water and
sanitation projects are also worthy of
mention. We are pleased to see that our
projects continue to be a beacon of hope
hundreds of thousands of lives. 400,000
individuals were supported under projects
implemented in a total of 13 countries from
the Balkans to Central Asia, the Middle
East and Africa. TİKA helped 126,000
individuals in Somalia, who were affected
the most by the draught in East Africa,
access to drinking water.
Projects for the development of production
were implemented in 23 countries,
particularly in the Middle East and
Balkans. These included, ongoing support
in organic agriculture in Azerbaijan and
Albania; olive production in Palestine and
Montenegro; and sapling production in
Kosovo. Again, it is worth mentioning the
project for seed provision to Sudan. We
are also developing projects in the area of
industry, tourism and commerce.
Implementing its activities via program
coordination offices in more than 30
countries in 2012, TİKA continues to build
cordial relations between Turkey and the
partner countries and form new areas
of cooperation thanks to the projects
implemented with sincerity and good
will. TİKA’s area of activity expanded
this year, following the same expansion
trend since 2002. The amount of project
financing to Caucasia and the Middle
East has been seven times greater from
2002 to 2012, compared with the period
from 1992 to 2002. An elevenfold increase
can be observed if the Balkans, Middle
East, Africa, East and South Asia, as well
as, additional areas of activity are also
planned.
It is my sincere belief that we will take
firmer steps in the years ahead building
on the strong friendships that we have
established. I hope that our experience,
know-how and energy, which grew thanks
to the devoted efforts of TİKA family, will
transform into new, promising projects.
Sadly, while TİKA family grew, it also
experienced significant losses. We were
extremely saddened by the sudden
and painful loss of our colleague Cavit
Köseoğlu. Our thoughts and prayers go to
his family. May God have mercy upon him
and rest his soul.
To conclude, I would like to express my
gratitude to H.E. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan,
Prime Minister of Turkey for encouraging
and supporting us; Mr. Bekir Bozdağ,
Deputy Prime Minister of Turkey, for his
keen interest and support; those who
represent our glorious history; and our
citizens who feel the significance of the
foundations of our nation deep in their
hearts. I would like to emphasize that the
2012 Annual Report is a product of the
TİKA family, as well as the devoted work of
all public agencies and NGOs. I would also
like to thank particularly Mr. Hasan Burak
CERAN, Head of the Strategic Development
Department; Ms. Nurçin YILDIZ, TİKA
Expert and Mr. Yusuf KASARCI and all
other colleagues, who contributed to the
preparation of this Report and wish them
success in their future endeavours.

13
As TİKA’s area of activity
expanded, a more efficient,
planned and result-oriented
management of Turkey’s
development assistance was
needed, which, in turn, resulted
in a need to issue policy and
strategy documents. In this
framework, it was necessary to
introduce the Foreign Aid Law.
14
TİKA’S FOUNDING OBJECTIVE AND MISSION
Tika’s Area Of Actıvıty Expanded
Our country’s active foreign policy approach
set the country on its path to greater
development cooperation with the developing
countries. In this framework, new Program
Coordination Offices (PCO) were opened. The
number of Program Coordination Offices
surpassed 30 in 2012. Efforts to support
countries affected by the Arab Spring
movement were mobilised. TİKA has also
reached out to Latin American by developing
and implementing projects in the region.
Visibility and addressing basic needs of
the population were prioritised. Instead of
a project type approach, a programmatic
approach was adopted. Program Coordination
Offices with a high level of representativeness
began their operations. The existing physical
infrastructure at the offices was improved and
new equipment was provided to the offices.
TİKA’s Traınıng Programs Gaıned

Training has a significant place in
development cooperation programs. The
Development Assıstance Strategy
Document And Legıslatıon Are Beıng
Prepared
As a more efficient, planned and resultoriented management of Turkey’s
development assistance processes was
needed a need to issue policy and strategy
documents emerged. In parallel to this, the
need for a Foreign Aid Law emerged as TİKA
widened the scope of its foreign aid activities.
In this framework, 2012 TİKA Advisory Council
meeting decided to prepare the Main Policy
and Strategy Document on Development
Cooperation and the Foreign Aid Law. It
is planned that the draft documents will
be submitted to the 2013 TİKA Advisory
Committee.
Turkey’s Development Assıstance
Redefıned
New areas of activity were defined in parallel
to the redefinition of development assistance
and the use of development assistance as a
significant foreign policy instrument. In this
framework, a change of vision took place
in TİKA’s project implementation. Instead
of providing foreign assistance in the form
influence and scope of training programs
have grown in recent years. As a result of the
productivity levels achieved, the interest for
further cooperation grew accordingly. The
number of individuals who participated in the
training programs for experts and those who
received consultancy services from 2002 to
2012 reached 42,866.
TİKA’s training programs, carried out in a
range of areas in 2012, are also worthy of
mention. 54 prosecutors and judges from the
Kosovo Judicial Institute; 64 doctors from
Kazakhstan and 43 doctors from Azerbaijan;
30 experts from the Ministry of Food of
Palestine; and 359 individuals working in the
tourism sector in Turkmenistan received
trainings in their specific fields.
Human Resources And Physical
Capacity Building Efforts At TİKA
TİKA’s growing responsibilities resulted in
a need to recruit a greater number of staff.
In this framework, TİKA family continued to
grow. This growth led to the need for larger
facilities. Currently in search of new premises
TİKA plans to move to its new premises within

General Evaluation
Established in 1992 in order to support the
restructuring, integration and development
processes of the newly independent Turkic
Republics following the disintegration of
the Soviet Union, Turkish Coordination and
Cooperation Agency (TİKA) has operations
in more than 30 countries, primarily in our
immediate neighbourhood and throughout
the world.
Turkish Foreign Policy aims at contributing
to global peace, stability and security
with the synergy created through the
development of bilateral and regional
relations. To this end, TİKA implements
an increasing number of projects and
programs each year in a wide geography
from the Middle East to Africa, Balkans
and Pacific. In this framework, a total
of 1879 projects including 1400 countrylevel and 479 regional project have been
implemented in 2012. The projects were
primarily related with social infrastructure
and private sector development.
In addition to the projects implemented
to contribute to development efforts
in developing countries, restoration
and conservation projects have been
implemented primarily in the Balkans and
other regions.
Our Agency makes intensive efforts in
order to ensure that these artefacts are
restored back to their past glory and that
they survive. However, it must be noted
that the efforts in this direction are not
20
limited to the Ottoman geography. The
2012 restoration work has been outlined
in the annexes to this Report. (Annex-I)
Another area highlighted in the annexes
is related to Turkology studies. (AnnexII) Initiated by TİKA 1999, the Turkology
Project aims at laying down standards
for teaching Turkish. Through a protocol
signed on 20 September 2011, the project
was handed over to Yunus Emre Institute.
In 2012, our Agency completed the projects
under its responsibility.
In addition to being an implementing
Agency, TİKA acts as a coordinator
between all public institutions and
organisations, universities, NGOs and
the private sector. In this direction, TİKA
implements projects jointly with the
Ministries in charge of education, health,
culture, economy, commerce, as well as,
several public entities. Our Agency has
been charged with the task of keeping
record of development assistance with the
Prime Ministry Circular no. 2005/11.
In 2012, there has been a decrease in
the amount of development assistance
provided by traditional donors; whereas
Turkey’s development assistance
increased by 98.7% in one year. In this
framework, Turkey is now defined as an
‘‘emerging donor’’ and strengthens its
‘‘donor’’ role each passing year. One of
the entities which have contributed to
this performance, TİKA has continued
to provide significant contributions to
development in partner countries by
implementing projects in line with the
demands of the partner countries in 2012.
TİKA implements projects aimed at direct
income generation, mainly vocational
courses in line with the goal of eradicating
poverty. Such projects touch many lives
and are met with great interest in all of
the partner countries that demand the
continuation of the programs. On the
other hand, TİKA contributes to education
infrastructure through construction of
schools, repair/restoration and materials
in order to ensure uninterrupted school
services. In this framework, 96 schools
were constructed/renovated and 79
schools refurbished in 2012. Through such
projects, TİKA works towards building the
groundwork to ensure that school-aged
children have access to education.
2012, 41 health facilities
have been constructed. 30
facilities were provided with
equipment. Outstanding
activities have taken place
particularly in Somalia, Sudan,
Afghanistan and Palestine.
Such projects implemented
by our Agency have clearly
contributed to global
development goals.
In 2012, 41 health facilities were built and
30 facilities were refurbished. Activities
particularly in Somalia, Sudan, Afghanistan
and Palestine are worthy of mention. Such
projects implemented by our Agency have
clearly contributed to global development
goals.
Given the pessimistic figures of access to
water, primarily in African countries, TİKA
admirably ensured thousands of people’s
access to water. In this framework,
activities in Pakistan are worthy of
mention. With 160 water wells bored in
various provinces, 5 million people were
provided with access to water.
21
Projects apply positive-discrimination in
order to ensure women’s participation
in the labour force and that they attain
the social status that they deserve. In
addition, to carrying out many projects
related with maternal and child health,
TİKA cooperates with NGOs to carry out
medical screening, vaccination campaigns,
and medical operations. Many individuals
could lead healthy lives thanks to these
joint efforts. Such voluntary services are
reflected in our culture of benevolence
ingrained in our history.

including 106 country-wide and 40 regional
projects. In terms of NGO assistance,
Somalia, Niger, Cameroon, Ghana and
Tanzania are the leading partner countries.
As significant project partners and
implementing organisations, NGOs are
considered to be significant cooperation
actors in recent years. Particularly in
countries where TİKA does not have an
office, NGOs play a significant role for a
more efficient use of budgetary resources.
In this framework, TİKA plans to produce
a separate document on projects carried
out in cooperation with NGOs. This report

In 2012, 520 projects have been
implemented in the Balkans and Central
Asia; 632 in Caucasia and Central Asia; and
636 in the Middle East and Africa. Some
of these projects are part of multi-year
programs with a large budget. The number
of projects aimed at addressing current
issues increase day by day. The main
common denominator of all these projects
is that they are all human-oriented and
aimed at addressing the humanity’s needs.
In the ‘‘Arab Spring’’ process, the main
priority has been to meet emergency
humanitarian assistance requirements
of friendly and brotherly countries. TİKA
also develops long-term development
cooperation projects to help development
in these countries. Since capacity-building
projects are still under way it will be
possible to examine these projects further
in the future.

25
Outreach activities carried out in Africa
began in 2005 and continued in 2012. The
assistance operation gained momentum
following Prime Minister Erdoğan’s
visit to Somalia and had repercussions
across the world. The first priority was
to ensure access to emergency aid. In
addition, many medium and long-term
projects are implemented in order to find
lasting solutions to the problems faced by
Somalia.
The amount of assistance provided to
the Least Developed Countries (LDC)
continued in 2012. ‘‘Istanbul Action Plan’’
on principles and recommendations on the
enhancement of the socioeconomic status
of LDCs for 2011-2020 was adopted at the
IV. UNLDC Conference hosted by Turkey
in 2011. Our Agency supports the process
with concrete projects.
26
In this framework, there are many projects
implemented in Sub-Saharan countries.
However, these projects will be handled
extensively in a future study; therefore,
they were not included in this Report.
The global community is aware of the
fact that global problems require global
partnerships. TİKA cooperates with many
international organisations in line with the
principle of cooperation with international
organisations, one of the main principles
of Turkish foreign policy. In this scope,
projects are carried out in cooperation with
a number of international organizations,
such as the United Nations, the World
Bank, OECD and the Organization of
Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
TİKA Annual Report outlines the assistance
projects carried out by TİKA in 2012, the
year in which TİKA development assistance
peaked. The Report consists of 7 chapters.
The first four chapters are related with
country-level projects; whereas, chapters
5,6, and 7 are related with cooperation with
national and international organisations.

and buildings of the girls section and
boys section. Blackouts were disrupting
education and damaging the electrical
devices at the school. In order to
eliminate these problems, TİKA provided 2
generators, 2 regulators and one fuel depot
to the Haxhi Sheh Shamia High School
on 21 May 2012. If maintained regularly
and properly, the equipment is expected
to operate smoothly for at least 15 years.
With this support, the Agency contributed
to improving the physical infrastructure of
the High School, which has a capacity of
977 students and 96 personnel.

The Regional Public Vocational Training
Centre in Gjirokaster, operating under
the Vocational Training and Employment
Promotion Department of the Ministry
of Labour, Social Affairs and Equal
Opportunities, organizes courses to
train the intermediate staff members
and qualified work force needed by the
industry. These courses contribute to
increasing employment and reducing
unemployment in the region.
In cooperation with the Vocational Training
and Employment Promotion Department
of the Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs
and Equal Opportunities, a project was
developed to open a vocational course on
hydraulic systems so as to increase the
capacity of the Public Vocational Training
Centre in Gjirokaster. As of 03 July 2012,
all materials needed for the course have
been provided by our Agency.
According to data from the Albanian
Institute of Statistics (INSTAT),
unemployment rate throughout Albania
was 13.5% for 2011. For the city of
Gjirokaster, unemployment rate is around
25%. This rate is expected to further
rise due to the global economic crisis.
Developing projects of this kind is likely to
prevent further increases in unemployment
rates in the country.

Upon the request of the Municipality of
Tirana, a Vocational Training Centre was
established on 20 January 2012 so as to
reduce unemployment and create new
job opportunities. The Centre was opened
in Tirana’s neighbourhood of Laprake,
which has a dense population and where
generally families with limited financial
means live. The Centre will enable, in
particular, the young people who have
failed to enter university to gain some
vocational skills.
Upon successfully completing the
course programme, the trainees will find
opportunities to work at various municipal
facilities in the future. Moreover, the
food prepared in the cooking and food
& beverage management courses are
distributed everyday to victimized families,
the elderly and people with disabilities
living in the region, free of charge. Hence,
the Centre also provides social services.
Computer Lab to Aleksander Moısıu
Unıversıty
The Information and Technology Faculty
of the Aleksander Moisiu University,
established as a state university in the
district of Durres in 2006, accommodates
some of the most popular departments of
the recent years. Young people graduating
from these departments have a better
chance of finding a job. However, limited
financial resources and insufficient
government support prevents the university
from raising its education standards to the
desired level.
Health
Eye Clınıc Establıshed At Tırana
Central Polyclınıc
The Tirana Central Polyclinic, located
at the heart of the capital Tirana and
providing polyclinic services to an average
of 700 patients every day, was having
problems in the diagnosis and treatment
of its patients due to insufficient technical
infrastructure. Since the devices used at
the polyclinic were far from meeting the
demands in addition to being quite old and
worn, correct diagnosis and treatment of
eye disorders and diseases was a problem.
To meet the equipment needs for eye
disorders and diseases, our Agency offered
its support. The required equipment and
devices were delivered to the polyclinic on
23 April 2012.
TİKA has opened a state-of-the-art
computer laboratory at the faculty, so
as to contribute to improvement of the
educational infrastructure. All materials
and equipment needed under this scope
were granted to the university on 27 March
2012.

The Burrel Municipality of the District of
Diber in Albania requested the support
of our Agency for the establishment of a
One-Stop Service Centre. The purpose
was to increase transparency in municipal
services and ensuring that services
are provided within the framework of
fair, efficient and quality administration
approach. Increasing the service quality of
local governments is seen as an important
agenda item in the country under the
scope of the process of integration with the
European Union.
Renewal of Technıcal Infrastructure
at the Mınıstry of Justıce, Offıcıal
Publıcatıons Centre
The computers, servers and office hardware
and software were quite old and worn out
at the Official Publications Centre of the
Ministry of Justice of Albania. In this scope,
our Agency developed a project to replace
the computer servers at the Centre.
Works were finalized on 25 July 2012. With
this support, an important contribution
was made in improving the physical
infrastructures of the Official Publications
Centre, which is responsible for preparing
the Official Gazette of the Republic of
Albania and transferring it onto the
internet medium. Moreover, the renewal
of the infrastructure prevented the risk of
losing the archive of official publications,
which is kept on electronic medium.
The request was found positive by our
Agency, and works for establishment of a
One-Stop Service Centre were completed
on 18 October 2012. This project was
carried out for the first time under the
Municipality of Tirana. With this project,
it was ensured that citizens are delivered
faster and more efficient services. Thanks
to the project, the people of Burrel and the
500 commercial organizations registered
at the Municipality of Burrel can access
all municipal services, documents and
information quickly and from a single
source. This new Centre also aims to
prevent irregularities and bribery.

Equıpment Support to Gjırokaster
Home for the Elderly
The Gjirokaster Home for the Elderly,
operating in the south of Albania
since 1974 and one of the largest
elderly care homes in the country, was
having difficulties in providing proper
accommodation conditions due to financial
constraints. Hence, in order to improve
the conditions at the Gjirokaster Home
for Elderly, our Agency provided various
health-related items and soft furnishing
materials. The materials granted by the
Agency were delivered to officials on 6
June 2012. With this support, the lives of 55
elderly, with 35 men and 20 women, were
improved.
Equıpment Support to Zyber Hallullı
Orphanage
The Zyber Hallulli Orphanage was opened
in Tirana in 1960 and named after Zyber
Hallulli, founder of the first ever orphanage
to become operational in Albania. The
orphanage operates under the Ministry
of Labour, Social Affairs and Equal
Opportunities of Albania. As the largest of
the 25 orphanages present in Albania, the
Zyber Hallulli Orphanage shelters children
in the 6-15 age group.
Moreover, it is an important organization
visited by many high-level politicians,
bureaucrats and diplomats who like to
extend a helping hand to orphans on
Albania’s national days and holy days.
The Ministry has carried out some
refurbishing works to improve the physical
conditions of the orphanage. Our Agency
has provided materials and equipment to
be used by the 30 children staying at the
Orphanage.

employs 20 personnel and 70 journalists.
Equıpment to the State Broadcastıng
Authorıty of Albanıa
The Albanian State Broadcasting
Authority (ART) broadcasts as the only
state television of the country since 1960.
However, the budget and investments
allocated to the Authority by the state
are insufficient. Hence, the Authority
receives support from various donors and
organizations to improve its technical
conditions. However, due to the limited
nature of the aid so far extended to
the Authority, there are still lots of
shortcomings. In this scope, the technical
equipment and supplies needed in the
central studios of ART in Tirana were
granted by our Agency on 9 January 2012.
Our Agency provided ATSH with the
technical equipment needed to establish
an electronic reduction system that would
enable more professional works. The
materials granted by the Agency were
delivered on 28 March 2012. Thanks to
the project, TİKA was able to contribute
to the process of transforming ATSH into
a public media agency in conformity with
international partnership standards.

The meeting held in Tirana on 17-20 April
2012 was participated by experts from TİKA
and the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and
Livestock as well as academicians from the
Ankara University.
A protocol to build agricultural capacity
in Albania has been signed with the
Albanian Ministry of Agriculture, Forests
and Consumer Protection. Based on this
collaboration, the Organic Farming Support
Project was developed. Mutual visits were
paid in the initial phase of the project. In
the second phase, a meeting was held to
identify the needs of the organic farming
sector.
At the meeting, Albanian experts were
given information on Turkey’s organic
farming activities, legislation, control and
certification organisations, the organic
farming information system and the state
of organic farming in the world. In 2013,
it is planned to establish an Organic
Agriculture Laboratory that will operate
under the Tirana University of Agriculture.
The project aims to increase the organic
farming capacity of Albania, which is
suitable for agricultural production in
terms of its geography and climate.

Fishing
Industry
Although Albania has great potential for
aquatic products with its long coastal line
and with its lakes that are the largest and
deepest in the Balkans, this sector does not
have an important place in the country’s
economy.
Having a coast on the Adriatic Sea and the
Ionian Sea, with a fairly long coastal line,
Albania has an advantageous geographical
location compared to other Balkan
countries. However, the country cannot
benefit sufficiently from the opportunities
offered by this advantageous geographical
location because of the unmet investment
needs of the maritime sector. The
insufficient and lacking education in the
maritime sector also plays a role in this.
Improvıng the Fıshıng Sector ın
Albanıa
Although efforts to improve fishing in Albania
started as early as 1920s, the sector has
remained inefficient due to failure to follow
up and adopt modern technologies and
methods for aquatic products and failure
to carry out maintenance works in lakes,
such as liming. The Fishing and Aquatic
Products Centre in the District of Durres was
established in 1961, and has been operating
under the Tirana University of Agriculture,
Faculty of Agriculture and Environment,
Department of Aquatic Products since 2007.
The Department of Aquatic Products has 80
students in undergraduate programmes, 20
students in graduate programmes and 10
students in doctorate programmes. At the
Department, which offers the best education
in the fisheries and aquatic products sector
in Albania, students have the opportunity to
conduct experiments and researches.
Our Agency has developed a project
for establishment of a hydro-chemical
Laboratory to operate under the Department
so as to contribute in developing sustainable
aquatic production and increasing efficiency
in the sector. Materials required for the
establishment of the laboratory were granted
on 05 November 2012. The laboratory will
enable accurate and reliable hydro-chemical
analyses.

Marıtıme Sımulatıon Centre
Establıshed
In this scope, it was identified that students
studying at the Mechanical and Naval
Engineering Department of the Science and
Engineering Faculty at the Ismail Kemali
University, which is a state university in the
city of Vlora, were in need of a simulation
centre that would enable them to practice
in addition to their theoretical courses,
and a project was developed to meet this
demand. The project was completed on 07
December 2012.
A total of 8000 students are studying
in the 4 faculties of the Ismail Kemali
University. Mechanical and Naval
Engineering Department is one of the most
important departments of the university.
With this project, our Agency will have
the opportunity to contribute in raising
the qualified human resource, which is
the most important factor in reaching the
country’s full potential in the maritime
sector.
Tourism
Tourısm Promotıon and Informatıon
Offıce Establıshed at the Tırana
International Aırport Nene Tereza
A meeting was held with the Albanian
Minister of Tourism and Culture with the
purpose of identifying possible areas of
cooperation for developing tourism in
Albania. The Albanian side expressed their
wish to benefit from Turkey’s experience in
preparing a national tourism development
plan and in creating a tourism image
in the international arena. It was also
identified that the country needed a
tourism promotion and information office
run by the state and providing promotional
and guidance services to tourists. In this
scope, our Agency developed a project for
establishment of a Tourism Promotion
and Information Office that would work
under the Albanian Ministry of Tourism and
Culture at the Tirana International Airport
Nene Tereza.
The establishment of the Office was
finalized on 20 July 2012, and a civil servant
has been commissioned from the Ministry
to work at the new office. The Office has
been designed as a cabin consisting of side
panels mounted with touch screens and
promotional LCD monitors, and a ceiling
and a floor.
The Office provides tourists with
information on the country’s tourist places,
museums, means of transportation,
hospitality facilities and restaurants. The
brochure prepared by the Ministry of
Tourism and other promotional materials
are distributed free of charge at the office.
Refugees
Improvıng Accommodatıon Condıtıons
at the Natıonal Refugee Centre of the
Mınıstry of Interıor
Under the 1951 Geneva Convention
Relating to the Status of Refugees and
the 1967 Protocol Relating to the Status
of Refugees, as well as other relevant
international instruments, the host
country must provide suitable physical
conditions for refugees. However, the
Albanian National Refugee Centre, serving
in buildings previously used as military
garrison, does not have the necessary
infrastructure to serve refugees under
optimum conditions. This situation was
damaging Albania’s reputation in the
international arena.
In this scope, in collaboration with the
Albanian Ministry of Interior, Directorate
General of Citizenship and Refugees and
the National Commission for Refugees, the
requirements of the centre were met, thus
improving its accommodation conditions. In
this way, the physical conditions needed to
ensure that refugees are able to exercise
their rights arising from international
agreements have been enabled.
The opening of such a tourism office has
filled a major gap in promoting the country
in a way that will strengthen its tourism
image.

have now returned and are continuing to
work on buildings that are at the heart of
their social lives. In order to support this
process and contribute in developing the
education infrastructure in Bosnia and
Herzegovina, our Agency took on the repair
and refurbishment of the Odzak Crèche.
In this framework, the infrastructure of the
crèche, namely the central heating system,
electricity, water and sanitation works,
ceramics and stone works and carpentry
works of the facility, received a nice repair.
In addition, lacking basic furniture and
supplies, such as beds, closets and toys,
were supplied. Project was completed
on 23 April 2012. With this support, the
crèche, where around 50 children in the
1-6 age group receive preschool education,
became a modern facility.

5th October Prımary Educatıon
School Modernızed
A three phase project was developed to
repair, refurbish and equip the Sanski Most
5th October Primary Education School,
located in the city of Sanski Most which
is famous for its annual victory parade.
Project phases are as follows:
• Replacement of doors and windows
which are in need of repair since the
school building, dating back to 1968, is
quite worn out;
• Equipment of the school with modern
educational tools and devices such as
desks, chairs and cabinetsı;
• Provision of a laptop computer, an
overhead projector and a projection screen
to build a multimedia classroom.
The project was completed on 30
December 2012. With this support, the
Sanski Most 5th October Primary Education
School, consisting of two branches with
around 870 students, was turned into a
modern education institution.
Reşat Kadıç Prımary School
Refurbıshed
Kakanj in the Zenica-Doboj Canton
lies between the cities of Sarajevo and
Zenica. The Reşat Kadiç Regional Primary
Education School is in the village of Brnjic
at a distance of around 20 km from the
centre of the Kakanj municipality.
The public buildings in the region have
not received sufficient public investment
since the Yugoslavian times. Hence, the
Reşat Kadiç Regional Primary Education
School, established in 1967 and serving
the entire region with its 386 students,
had seen very little repair since its
founding and was deprived of a healthy
physical infrastructure. The school was
extensively refurbished by our Agency,
having its heating system, window and
door carpentries and roof materials -which
contained some carcinogenic substanceschanged. The project was delivered on 28
May 2012.

Two schools ın Kseljak Zabr
Refurbıshed and Equıpped
Kiseljak Zabr is a municipality with a
population of around 24,000 in the Central
Bosnia Canton within the Federation of
Bosnia and Herzegovina. Around 51% of its
population consists of Croatians, while 40%
is Bosnian Muslims.
Our Agency developed a 3-phase project
for modernization of 2 schools in Kiseljak
Zabr. The project phases are as follows:
• Completion of previously started works
for a new classroom;
• Renewal of the unsafe small wooden
bridge on the stream which connects the
school with the main road;
• Fitting the new classroom with necessary
educational tools and devices. Following
the completion of these works, an opening
ceremony with broad participation was
held on 31 March 2012.
Sarajevo Schools Modernızed
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, schools called
“mektep” are among the most important
educational institutions for the survival of
the national identity. Students attending
these institutions receive education on
basic subjects on certain days of the week
and learn about Bosnian traditions.
In this respect, supports towards these
mekteps, which have been facing various
problems in the post-war era, are among
the most significant supports that can be
extended to the Bosnian society.
Acknowledging this fact, our Agency
has strengthened the facilities and
opportunities offered by 100 of the 327
existing mekteps in collaboration with the
Sarajevo Mufti Office. In this scope, each
classroom was fitted with a computer
in addition to other relevant educational
materials and equipment. Thus, the Agency
has been able to reach out to 23,500
students, and around 100,000 people when
also adding the families of these students.
The project final ceremony was held on 11
March 2012 with the participation of our
Deputy Prime Minister Mr. Bekir Bozdağ.
The University of Bihac was founded on 28
July 1997 following the war ending in 1995.

Madrasas continue to exist in Bosnia and
Herzegovina as a legacy of the Ottoman
educational tradition. 6 madrasas
operating throughout the country offer
high school-level education. Students
graduating from these schools attended
by successful students get the chance to
continue their education lives in various
university departments. The Travnik Elçi
İbrahim Pasha Madrasa, commissioned by
Vizier Elci Ibrahim Pasha and built in 1705,
is one of these educational institutions still
continuing its existence today. The school
was reopened in 1994 and continues its
education life.
In collaboration with the Erciyes University,
our Agency supported the process of
drawing a project for a campus area for
the Mostar Jamal Bijedic University.
In this scope, experts from the Erciyes

Bihac is a city in the Bosanska Krajina
region, located on the north-western
part of the country close to the border
with Croatia, administratively the centre
of the Una-Sana Canton. Almost the
entire population is Bosnian. The city
has not been able to get sufficient public
investments either during the Yugoslavian
times or in the post-war era, due to its
distance to the centre. This is especially
true for the education sector.
Our Agency has activated 2 projects, in
collaboration with the Rector’s Office of
the University of Bihaç so as to contribute
to development of the educational
infrastructure in the region.
These are projects that are significant in
terms of the academic development of the
university and the industrial development
of the region. First project is about the
establishment of a microbiology laboratory
at the College of Nursing Studies attached
to the university, and the second project
is about the establishment of a wood
products analysis laboratory to the
Technical Studies Faculty. These two
projects were completed as of the end of
June in 2012.

Health
Dıalysıs Centre to the Plav Publıc
Hospıtal
Since there were no dialysis centres in the
city of Plav in the Sandzak region, patients
had to go to the Berane Public Hospital
located 100 km away. However, winters are
harsh in the region, and roads are often
snowed or iced. Hence, especially critical
patients were having great difficulties
during transfer, and there was no road
safety.

installation of an energy unit in the surgical
departments of the hospital, which are
vital, was completed on 22 October 2012.
Our Agency continues to support the
hospital. In this scope, in cooperation with
the Montenegro Security Directorate, an
ultrasound unit has been installed in the
Podgorica Health Centre, which serves
around 5000 members of the police.
This support was covered extensively by
Montenegrin media outlets.
Ultrasound Devıce to Podgorıca
Health Centre
In Montenegro, patients first apply to
health clinics, from whence they are
referred to central hospitals when needed.
In this scope, health clinics serve around
100 people a day. However, as a young
country that has only very recently gained
independence, resources are limited when
it comes to meeting sectoral needs. Hence,
Montenegro’s health infrastructure is
weak. For example, health clinics are in
serious need of medical equipment.
In this scope, the Podgorica Health Centre
applied to our Agency, requesting support
as the ultrasound devices at the Tuzi, Stara
Varos and Konik Health Clinics, operating
under the Centre, were too old to be used.
Given the importance of ultrasound devices
for diagnosis and treatment purposes, the
ultrasound device needed by these health
clinics were supplied by our Agency on 11
December 2012.

Ultrasound Unıt to the Health Centre
of the Securıty Dırectorate
In 2010, the Government of Montenegro
prepared a master plan for improvement of
the health system in the 2010-2013 period.
The plan includes various measures to
ensure hospital optimization, and aims
to ensure provision of adequate, fair,
accessible and quality services in the
health sector.
Our Agency supports these efforts to
improve the health sector in Montenegro.
In this scope, in cooperation with the
Montenegro Security Directorate, an
ultrasound unit has been installed in the
Podgorica Health Centre, which serves
around 5000 members of the police.
This support was covered extensively by
Montenegrin media outlets.
Mammography Devıce to Mojkovac
Bosko Dedeıjc Health Centre
There are many cancer cases in
Montenegro, which are said to be due to
the country’s aluminium mine. However,
there are no mammography devices, used
in the diagnosis and screening for cancer,
except at the Podgorica and Bijelo Polje
Public Hospitals. This situation prevents
timely diagnosis of the disease, causing
preventable deaths.
70
In this scope, a mammography device
was donated to the Bosko Dedejic Health
Centre on 28 December 2012 by our
Agency.
In addition to the specific conditions of
Montenegro, breast cancer is the most
common cancer type seen among women
with the highest rate of cancer-related
deaths. In such a contexts, it can be said
that the device carries vital importance
for the 3255 women living in the town of
Mojkovac.
Bob-sleıgh (Medıcal Emergency Sled)
for Kolasın Health Centre
Located 40 km away from Kolasin in the
north of Montenegro, there is a Health
Centre serving around 500 families in
the village of Gornja Moraca. The centre
serves 3 days a week, with 11 doctors and
5 auxiliary health personnel However, it is
not easy to access patients in winters, which
are typically harsh with lots of snow.
In this scope, upon a request filed by the
Kolasin Municipality and the Kolasin Health
Centre, a bobsleigh (medical emergency
sled) was donated to the Health Centre on
29 November 2012, to be used for transfer
of patients.
Furnıshıng the Bjelo Polje Regıonal
Health Centre
Our Agency renewed all the furniture of
the Bjelo Polje Regional Health Centre
in the city of Bijelo Polje, which has a
population of 68,000, in the Sandzak region
of Montenegro, and which is situated on
an area of 5,000 m2. The Health Centre
accommodates a Psychological Health
Centre and a Youth Counselling Centre,
along with departments of Radiology,
Microbiology, Paediatrics, Gynaecology,
Dental Health and Epidemiology, with 60
specialist doctors.
The opening ceremony for the Bjelo Polje
Regional Health Centre was held on 25
December 2012 with the participation
of Montenegrin Prime Minister Milo
Sukanovic, Health Minister Miodrag
Radunovic, the Mayor of Bijelo Polje, and
the director of the Bijelo Polje Health
Centre, with many guests. Prime Minister
Milo Sukanovic said, in his speech, that
the Regional Health Centre would play a
great role in raising the living conditions of
the people of Bijelo Polje, and added that
the Centre had the capacity to meet the
health demands of the people living in the
northern region.
71
Sewer System ın Ulcın
The city of Ulcin is one of the major
tourism centres of Montenegro with its
two beaches on the Adriatic coast. With a
population of nearly 20,000, most people
in Ulcin earn their living from tourism.
On the other hand, sea water was being
polluted due to a blockage in the sewer
pipes, running under sea for 1200 metres,
and due to the lack of a diffuser at the
end point of the pipes. This situation was
threatening the health of the local people,
while also having a negative impact on
local tourism.
In order to solve this problem, our Agency
repaired the sewer pipes crossing under
the sea, within the scope of a project
prepared in cooperation with the Ulcin
Municipality.
72
The central government also provided
great support for the project.
The system became operational on 22
October 2012. Thus, sewer discharge into
the sea was prevented in the area from the
Grand Beach to the Milena Dock, thereby
forestalling the risk of contagious diseases
and epidemics, and preventing tourism
losses.

Improvıng the Physıcal Condıtıons of
the Konık Polıce Statıon
The Konik Police Station in the Montenegrin
Capital of Podgorica is close to TİKA
Podgorica Coordination Office, and has a
location that controls the vicinity. Roma
citizens immigrating from Kosovo during
the Bosnian War also live in this area. The
security of the area is ensured by the Konik
Police Station. However, the station had not
seen any repairs in the last two decades
and had not had any new equipment.
Therefore, its physical conditions were
pretty bad. Hence, a project was developed
by our Agency to improve the physical
conditions at the Konik Police Station, and
works were completed on 21 February 2012.
Semınar on Balkan Cıvıl Socıety

Supportıng the Project on Shelters
for Vıctıms of Human Traffıckıng
In terms of its geographical conditions,
Montenegro is, generally and specifically
speaking, a country where human
trafficking is fairly extensive due to
its accessibility through seaways and
highways. Based on the obligations arising
from international conventions, repatriation
centres are established to rehabilitate
those exposed to human trafficking. One
such centre is the “Shelter for Victims
of Human Trafficking”, established in
2004 by the Montenegrin Government. 5
specialized personnel serve 24 hours a
day at the shelter. The shelter is a place
where small children and young people
who have been recovered from human
trafficking networks but who have been
exposed to physical and psychological
violence stay and are rehabilitated. In
order to improve conditions at the shelter,
our Agency donated heating devices such
as air conditioners and heating stoves,
food preparation and storage units such
as stoves and refrigerators, as well as 3
televisions to the shelter on 25 December
2012.

Communication
Varıous Supports to Montenegro ın
Communıcatıon
1- In Montenegro, Muslims make up
around 25% of the country’s population.
However, although all religious
communities in the country had radio
stations, there were no radio stations
addressing the Muslim community. To
rectify this, Montenegro Islamic Union’s
President Rifat Feyzic requested support
from our Agency, informing that frequency
allocations would be made by the
Montenegro Frequency Authority for the
FM station planned to be established. In
this scope, our Agency provided support in
provision of materials that would enable
establishing the station. Moreover, a
14-day training programme was carried out
on 09-23 September 2012 by the Suleyman
Demirel University Radio-Television
Research and Application Centre, for the
6 personnel who would be employed at the
radio station.
Productıon Sectors
The second phase, consisting of on-thejob training, was held in Tuzi on 18-24
October 2012. The process of establishing
Radio Fatih was finalized on 24 October
2012. The radio started broadcasting on
the internet, and plans to start terrestrial
broadcasting as of the beginning of 2013.
The radio will focus on live broadcasts. In
addition, although Radio Fatih is planned
to broadcast in Podgorica and the Sandzak
region, it is considered that the broadcasts
will be accessible from the entire country
and from neighbouring countries. This
support will contribute to protection of
cultural identity.
2- The Presidency of Montenegro Islamic
Union informed us that there were no
studies on the Islamic architecture and
Islamic culture in Montenegro. The
Presidency also expressed willingness
to shoot a documentary film focusing on
these topics. Thus they asked our Agency’s
support. Under the project which was
found favourable by our Agency, the editing
and dubbing procedures have already been
completed on the documentary, and the
finished product has been delivered.

Greenhouse Covers for 88 Famılıes ın
Ulcın
Ulcin is the last settlement on the
Montenegrin coastline and is situated at
the border with Albania. The town has a
population of 19,921. 83% of the population
is Albanian and Bosnian. Ulcin has no
sources of employment except for tourism
and agriculture. A total of 1727 families
living in the town earn their livelihood from
agriculture.
The Ulcin Municipality requested support
for families with limited financial means,
as a lot of greenhouses are destroyed
and heavy damages incurred due to
heavy winter conditions including storms.
Hence, 80,200 m2 of greenhouse cover was
purchased and distributed to families on 15
May 2012. The project helped 88 families
whose greenhouses had been damaged.
3- The Almanag Magazine was founded
with the purpose of protecting the national,
religious and cultural identities of Muslim
Bosnians in Montenegro and support their
modern, cultural products. The magazine
focuses on developing intercultural
dialogue and integrating the Bosnian art
and literature with the official education
programmes. Our Agency sponsored the
printing of 2000 of the 50th issue of the
Almanac Magazine.

Recane (Reqan), is a settlement of 1200
people, in the Prizren Municipality. The
region where Recane is located is called
the Jupa region, and has 14 villages where
mostly the Bosnians live. Most of the
students living in these villages receive
education in their native languages at
the Meto Bayraktari Primary Education
School, built in 1970 in Recane; the school
has around 300 students. However, due to
the number of students increasing every
year, the number of classrooms at the
school was falling short in meeting the
demand. Hence, support was requested
from our Agency for building an additional
building needed by the school. In this
scope, our Agency supported the project
for construction of an additional building of
7 classrooms, consisting of 2 storeys and
a basement, and it is planned to complete
the project in 2013.
Classroom and Offıce to the Radesa
Vıllage
Our Agency repaired and refurbished the
space that would be used as classroom

Tombs of Sultan Murat and its Selamlik
(section for men), in addition to the Adem
Yasari Complex and the archaeological
excavations in Ulpiana. It is planned to
repeat this cultural programme next year
with 1000 students.
A Research on Kosovar Text Books
Following its declaration of independence,
Kosova has identified its goal as becoming
a member of the European Union and
achieving a quality of living conforming to
European standards. Hence, the country
gives importance to reflecting in its
textbooks the European conscience and
identity. In this scope, the Kosovar Ministry
of Education, Science and Technology
launched a project to review the textbooks
used in school curricula. Under the project
supported by our Agency, a report titled
“Research on the Textbooks in Kosovo”
was prepared by researcher-writer Olsi

Were Martyred at the Dardanelles
10 August Sultan Murat
Commemoratıon Events
The Dragas region located in the southern
part of Kosovo is mostly inhabited the
Goranis and Rorbes (Muslim Macedonians)
live. In Slavic, ‘Gora’ or ‘Gorani’ means
those from the high mountains, from the
mountains, from above. The Gora region
and villages are situated on the slopes of
the Sar mountains. ‘Sar’ means mountains
with cities. Left to their own fates, the local
people have always lived in poverty and
economic hardship, facing assimilation
policies and migration, during the last
century following the Ottoman era. Situated
15 km away from the Dragas Municipality,
Brod is not only one of the Gorani villages
but also a famous centre of trade and
crafts of the Ottoman era in the region.
The village has suffered from constant
migration.
One of the most important Ottoman
structures in Kosovo, the Tomb of Sultan
Murat I Hudavendigar is in the village
of Mazgit, which lies on the 6th km of
the Pristina-Mitrovica Road. Since 2010,
the maintenance of the Tomb has been
carried out by our Agency. It would be
more appropriate to carry out these
maintenance works through an NGO
from now on. Therefore, the operational
rights of the Tomb and its premises
have been transferred, for three years,
under a protocol signed with the Meşhedi
Hüdavendigar Association.
It is said that 460 people from the region
were martyred during the Dardanelles
Campaign. In this scope, an event on
“Why Kosovans Were Martyred At the
Dardanelles” was held at the Dragas
Culture House in cooperation with the Dag
Culture and Research Centre, and our
Agency sponsored the food and boarding
costs of 100 guests.
Every year, a commemoration event is
organized at the Tomb of Sultan Murat 1
on 10 August, date of the Battle of Kosovo.
This third annual event was attended by
700 people, in addition to high-ranking
officials from Kosovo and our Deputy Prime
Minister Bekir Bozdağ.

This training programme is expected to
contribute to the works underway to renew
the parliamentary By-Laws in Kosovo.
Currently, the Health Commission of
the Kosovan parliament is working on
a Health Law and a Health Insurance
Law. Contributions to legislative works
continuing with mutual visits and training
programmes are of great importance.
Hence, it will be possible to ensure
that both countries have parallel legal
infrastructures in their health sectors.
This will facilitate cooperation in the health
sector of the two countries, and contribute
to its sustainability.

Student Transportatıon Project
The number of Macedonian Turks is
decreasing everyday due to migration to
Turkey. Since the Turkish population lives
scattered around the country, they fail
to make the majority needed to have a
Turkish classroom, and so children have
no alternative but to receive education
in other languages. Hence, to enable
transportation of students and teachers to
schools serving in the Turkish language,
the Student Transportation Project is
being implemented since 2008. The project
continued to be supported in 2012, and
transportation support was provided to 208
students and 9 teachers, for 9 months in
6 different cities, from September 2011 to
June 2012, and from September 2012 to
June 2013. This support stimulated some
Turkish classrooms, which faced the threat
of closing down.

persons who would be using the time
scale gained an official, full-time system
that directly tracks the international time
scale, rather than having to get information
from various unofficial sources. The
system can also be used in areas such
as telecommunication, media and traffic.

Restoratıon and Reconstructıon of
the Alı Rıza Efendı House
The information that Ataturk’s fraternal
grandfather, Haci Ahmet Efendi, had lived
and had a house in the Kocacik village of
Macedonia’s Jupa Municipality appeared in
the Macedonian press in 1999. Residents
of the Kocacik village where Turks live also
say that the house belongs to Haci Ahmet
Efendi, and that his son, Ali Riza Efendi
was born and lived till his teenage years
at the house. A photograph confirming the
truth of these statements was also found.
In light of this information, the Macedonian
government started excavations and found
the foundations of the two houses.
Macedonia’s President, Gjorge Ivanov,
who is an expert on Ottoman history, was
personally involved in the project. During
his visit to Turkey in 2009, he presented the
Anitkabir (Ataturk’s Mausoleum) Command
with a stone from the foundation.
President Abdullah Gül expressed his
thanks to President Ivanov and the Kocacik
Municipality for this meaningful gesture
and for their support in bringing to surface
the home where Atatürk’s father grew up.
After it became certain that the house
belonged to Haci Ahmet Efendi, the project
preparation phase was started. In this
scope, it was decided to rebuild one of the
houses as Ali Riza Efendi’s home and the
other as a relative’s house. Ali Rıza Efendi
Commemoration House, which will be a
3-storey building, is also planned to serve
as an ethnology museum, as a witness of
its era.
The second house, planned as a relative’s
house, is designed as a museum that will
reflect Mustafa Kemal Ataturk’s education
and life in Macedonia. The as-built projects
for the houses were prepared after
examination of the 19th century visual and
written archives of the Kocacik village and
surrounding villages by architects wellversed in the authentic architecture and
materials of the local region. The Ali Rıza
Efendi Commemoration House, for which the
construction works started in March 2012,
has been completed and the other house is
planned to be completed by early 2013.
On 23 March 2012 in Skopje, a protocol
regarding the project was signed by our
Ministry of Culture, the Macedonian Ministry
of Culture and the Macedonian Municipality
of Jupa. In her speech during the signature
ceremony, Macedonian Culture Minister
Elizabeta Kanceska remarked that the
project would be an indicator of the good
relations between Macedonia and Turkey,
and said: “The project to reconstruct the
house of the father of Mustafa Kemal
Atatürk, founder of the Turkish Republic and
the most prominent person of the Turkish
history, is of great importance not only for
Turkey but also for Macedonia.
This structure will be the symbol of the
friendship between the two countries. In
this way, we will show Atatürk’s messages
of stability, peace and understanding to the
entire world.”
The village of Kocacik is located at 180 km
distance from capital Skopje, and is situated
on a hill rising from the slopes of the valley
where the turquoise Radika River flows.
In historical sources, it is written that the
Kocacik village was founded by the Ottoman
Sultan Murat Hüdavendigar and Fatih Sultan
Mehmet (the Conqueror) by bringing in
Turkish settlers from the plains of Konya and
Aydın. With the start of Ottoman withdrawal
from the Balkans, Kovacik suffered from
heavy migration; today, only 65 families
remain, most of whom raise livestock.

In Macedonia, the media is trying to cope with transition problems, which is the case for
most Eastern European countries. These countries are striving to adapt themselves to hard
economic and socio-political conditions. However, this is not the case for Macedonia. Due to
the internal and external problems faced today by Macedonia, media is a part of politics in
the country. Hence, foreign investment in the sector is almost non-existent. Due to problems
with Greece, the EU also cannot make investments. Because of this situation, Macedonia is
seeking for alternatives through which it can develop its media sector. In this scope, Turkey
supports Macedonia in developing its media sector, mostly through technical equipment aid.
Founded in 1995, EDO TV is the only nationwide TV channel that broadcasts in the Bosniak
language in Macedonia. To increase EDO TV’s institutional capacity, our Agency has provided
a memory storage server and a digital control panel with a cold light set. With this support,
the Agency has contributed to more professional broadcasting at EDO TV.

such as Turkish, Albanian, Vlah, Romanian and Serbian. The Turkish section of the channel
broadcasts every day between 15:30 and 18:30. Our Agency has donated an external memory
to this department. With this support, the department’s archiving capacity has been
increased.
Founded in 1998, Şutel TV broadcasts daily in the Romanian language. Watched mostly
in capital Skopje and in the nearby cities, the broadcasting area of the channel covers
some parts of the cities of Tetovo (Kalkandelen), Kumanovo and Veles. The channel is
also accessible from other regions through cable. And it can be watched on the internet
from all around the world. Our Agency has donated 2 professional cameras and 3 studio

total of 21 personnel work, consisting of 1
doctor, 5 nurses, 5 caretakers and 10 other
staff members. The Kumrat Retirement
Home had never seen any repairs, and its
furnishings were quite old and worn out. In
this scope, our Agency undertook the repair
and refurbishing of the retirement home. The
project was completed on 16 October 2012.
With the decision of the Municipal Council,
the retirement home has been named
after our Prime Minister, Mr. Recep Tayyip
Erdogan. With this support, accommodation
conditions have been improved for the elderly
in need staying at the retirement home,
ensuring that they pass their elderly days in
a comfortable environment.

Rehabılıtatıon of the Baltsı Chıldren’s
Rehabılıtatıon Centre
Situated on the North of Moldova with
a population of 150,000, Baltsi is the
second largest city in Moldova after the
capital Kishinev. Many health facilities
remaining from the Soviet era in the city
need rehabilitation and new equipment.
The Baltsi Children’s Rehabilitation Centre
is also among these facilities. At the
rehabilitation centre where 50 personnel
are employed, there are a total of 75
children, 37 of whom are girls.
Our Agency repaired the unit called
isolator, where congenitally and mentally
disabled children in the 0-1 age group
are treated at the Baltsi Children’s
Rehabilitation Centre, and replaced the
guardrails that were posing a safety threat
due to them being not securely fixed.
Completed on 15 May 2012, this is the first
project done in Baltsi by our Agency.
Communication

Our Agency completed the works started
in 1995 under the scope of the Project for
Extending the Broadcasting Network of
the Gagauz Radio-Television, and delivered
to the Gagauz Local Government with a
protocol of transfer on 14 November 2006.
The project resulted in the establishment
of the Gagauz Radio-Television (GRT), and
our Agency continues to support it. In this
scope, the Agency has provided technical
equipment for establishment of a new
news studio.
Rehabılıtatıng the Saxon Football
Club’s Football Fıeld ın Ceadır-Lunga
Situated in the south of Moldova, CeadirLunga has a population of 23,000. As in
all around the world, football is a great
passion in Caedir-Lunga. However, the
only professional team of the region,
the Saxon Football Club, has a stadium
built in 1960 and never since repaired or
redecorated.
In this scope, with the modifications
done by our Agency, the tribune capacity
of the stadium was increased to 2000.
The changing rooms and the field floor,
which were mostly ruined, have also been
rehabilitated by our Agency. Works were
finalized on 31 August 2012.

Dobrınya and Naboye
Tutin is a small town/municipality in the
Sandzak region, northwest of Serbia.
Administratively, it is situated within the
borders of the Sumadija region and Raska
district in Western Serbia The town, where
over 30,000 people live, is the poorest
municipality of Serbia. This situation
also affects the education sector. The
schools in Tutin’s villages of Starcevice,
Dobrinya and Naboy consist only of one
room, and students from grades 1 to 4
receive education in the same classroom,
with no additional rooms for teachers.
Plus, despite harsh winter conditions,
the schools did not have sound heating
systems.
As a result of the reviews by our experts,
it was determined that repairing/modifying
these schools would be impossible.
Therefore, it was decided to build new
school buildings. In this scope, 3 school
buildings, each consisting of 2 classrooms,
1 teacher’s room and lavatories, were built,
complete with proper heating systems.
Additionally, all necessary desks, tables
and chairs, as well as computers, printers
and copiers for the teacher’s room were
donated to these schools. Project works
were completed on 07 August 2012. The
schools were opened with a ceremony
in September, participated by Serbia’s
Minister of State for Rural Development,
Suleyman Uglya.

Constructıon of Novı Pazar Prımary
Educatıon School
Support to Bujanovac Velıkı Trnovac
Prımary School
Novi Pazar is the centre of the Serbian
section of the Sandzak region, which lies at
the intersection of Kosovo, Montenegro and
Serbia. With a population of over 60,000, it
is the most crowded city in the region. In
Novi Pazar, there are 11 primary education
schools, 6 in the city centre and 5 in the
rural country. Around 12,000 students
receive education with 700 teachers
employed at these schools.
Bujanovac is a settlement with a population
of 45,000 in the south of Serbia. The
schools in the villages of this region fell
short in meeting the demand. Hence, our
Agency had a primary education school
built in the Veliki Trnonac village, which
has a population of 10,000. The school
has a capacity of 500 students, with 22
classrooms. The environmental planning
and landscaping of the school has also
been done, through which alternative living
areas have been created for students. Also,
necessary materials have been provided
for furnishing the school. Items donated
were as follows: White boards, wall panels,
teacher’s desks and chairs, student desks
and chairs, wall displays, study desks,
cabinets, shelves, curtains and other
school supplies, as well as managerial
tables, chairs, bookcases and computer
hardware for principals’ rooms. Moreover,
lavatory items and banks were supplied.
Although the schools have sufficient
human resources, it is necessary to
increase physical capacity so as to reduce
the three-shift practice to a double shift.
This required building 2 large schools.
In order to meet this demand, our Agency
had a new school with 20 classrooms built.
Project was completed on 17 December
2012.

Educatıonal Materıals to Rıfat
Burdzevıc Prımary School
Rifat Burdzevic Primary Education School
is a large school with a capacity of 600
students, and is in the city of Tutin in the
Sandzak region. For 44 years, the school
used the same desks and chairs. So, the
furniture was quite worn out and almost
unusable. Upon the request of the school
management, our Agency renewed the
school’s furniture on 15 February 2012.
Nova Varos Technıcal Hıgh School
Rehabılıtated
A town in the Sandzak region, Nova Varos
has a population of around 20,000 and is
located within the borders of the Zlatibor
district in the Sumadija region in western
Serbia. The Technical High School named
after the city has Christian Orthodox and
Muslim children receiving education
together. With 600 students, the school has
two storeys and is situated on a total area
of 1,050 m2.
However, the school’s physical conditions
were insufficient and it was in need of a
refurbishing. Therefore, the school was
negatively affected, especially in winter,
when thermometers hit -30o C. Our Agency
undertook the rehabilitation of the school
to improve its physical conditions. In this
scope, some excavation works, reinforced
concrete flooring, roof repairs, door
and window replacements and building
insulation works were carried out.
Rehabılıtatıon and Refurbıshıng of the
Faculty of Economıcs at the
Unıversıty of Nıs
Nis is the largest city in southern Serbia
and third largest city of the country. The
University of Nis is among the best three
universities of the country with 13 faculties
and 28,000 students. The fact that the
city is one of the industrial centres of the
country also adds to the university’s value.
In order to improve physical conditions
at the University of Nis, our Agency
repaired the lecture hall (amphitheatre)
at the Faculty of Economics, which was
established in 1960 with 9500 graduates
so far, and also replaced the desks and
chairs. Project was completed on 04 March
2012. With this support, a healthy and
modern educational environment has been
created, which will benefit 500 students,
including graduate and doctorate students.
Multı-Purpose Classroom at
Novı Pazar Culture Centre
The Novi Pazar Municipality Culture Centre
had a space which remained unused; this
space was rehabilitated by our Agency
and refurbished to create a multi-purpose
classroom.
Project works were completed on 19 April
2012. It is planned to use the classroom
for computer, music and foreign language
courses for young people of schooling age.

Health
Rehabılıtatıon of the Varda Health
Clınıc at Kosjerıc Munıcıpalıty
In Kosjeric, with a population of 12,000, in
the district of Zlatibor, most people (around
10,000) live in villages. While most villages
are lined along the riverside, there are
also settlements in mountains at altitudes
exceeding 1000 meters. This situation
causes many challenges in many sectors,
but especially in service delivery in the
health sector.
The Health Clinic of the Varda Village,
located within borders of Kosjeric, had
become too worn out over the passing
years. Hence, to ensure sustainability in
health services, our Agency replaced the
doors and windows in the building of the
Health Clinic at Varda village.
Medıcal Equıpment to the Prıjepolje
Hospıtal
Located in the southwest of Serbia,
Prijepolje is a town of around 40,000
people. Since it is the second largest
city, after Novi Pazar, in the Sandzak
region, it is an urban hub for surrounding
settlements. Hence, the Prijepolje Hospital,
which has a bed capacity of 170, serves
around 60,000 people a year, including
patients coming from Nova Varos and
Senitsa.
However, the physical conditions of
the hospital were inadequate. Of the 3
operation theatres at the hospital, only
1 was operational. This situation was
seriously affecting the efficiency of the
hospital. In this scope, our Agency donated
an electro-hydraulic operating table and
operation theatre satellite lambs to the
hospital. The donations made in February
2012 increased the capacity of the hospital.
Incubators for Hospıtals ın Serbıa
The “Fight For Children” project launched
by B92, one of the most influential
national TV channels in Serbia, aimed to
provide incubators for hospitals in the
least developed regions of Serbia. The
incubators in most hospitals in Serbia were
too old to be effective or even usable, and
there were no incubators in less developed
regions, such as the Sandzak region. This
situation was seriously affecting infant
mortality rates in premature deliveries. To
support the project, our Agency procured
3 incubators, 2 fixed and 1 mobile, and
delivered them on 20 February 2012.
Obstetrıc Delıvery Tables for Senta
Health Centre
Senta Health Centre is a health institution
serving around 120,000 people a year in
the Senta Municipality. More than 1000
births take place every year at the Centre.
However, deliveries were being made on
delivery tables that had become almost
unusable in the centre’s 40 years of
service. Upon the request of the Senta
Health Centre, our Agency provided new
delivery tables.

Vojvodina, which is one of the two
autonomous provinces of Former
Yugoslavia, is surrounded with Hungary
in the north, Serbia in the south, Romania
in the east and Croatia in the west. The
region has remained autonomous, first
within the structure formed by Serbia and
Montenegro, and then under Serbia. The
province has a population of 2,000,000, and
its capital is Novi Sad.
Turzo Layos Primary School is in
Vojvodina’s city of Senta, where Hungarians
make most of the population. The school
was refurbished in 2011 by our Agency.
In 2012, an additional building with 6
classrooms was built for students with
disabilities. The new building was opened
with a ceremony during the centennial
anniversary of the school’s founding.
Socıal Housıng for 8 Famılıes ın the
Prıboy Munıcıpalıty
The Priboy Municipality began construction
of housing to solve the accommodation
problems of 5 Bosniak families whose
houses were destroyed in the fire of
October 2010 and 3 Serbian families
who had lost their homes in a landslide.
However, the project could not be finished
due to the limited budget of the Priboy
Municipality, and our Agency’s support was
requested. In this scope, the remaining
70% of the project was completed by TİKA.
Our Agency also met the outfitting needs
of the housings, and delivered them to be
used by the families on 23 July 2012.
Constructıon of Sjenıca Cultural
Centre
The cultural centre construction, started
last year by the Sjenica Municipality but
could not be finished due to insufficient
resources, was completed with the support
of our Agency. Made ready for use on 07
August 2012, the Sjenica Cultural Centre
will stimulate the social and cultural life
in the region. Around 25,000 people live in
Sjenica, which is within the borders of the
Zlabitor district in the region of Sumadija
and Western Serbia.

The Prijepolje Culture Centre serves to
conserve and continue the cultural values
of the Bosniaks and Serbs living in the
region, and bringing ethnic differences
together on common denominators
through cultural events since 1979. The
Centre has hosted over 3000 events to
date. Prijepolje is the second largest city
of the Sandzak region, after Novi Pazar.
Hence, Prijepolje Culture Centre is also
a cultural centre of attraction for people
living in surrounding regions.
Founded in 1847, the Dositey Obradovc
Library has been contributing to the
cultural and educational life of the region
for over 60 years. With more than 80,000
books, the library’s registered users have
reached 5000.
However, since the day of its founding, the
Centre has not seen an overhaul. In this
scope, upon the request of the Prijepolje
Municipality, our Agency undertook the
rehabilitation of the Centre, which occupies
an area of 4,500 m² with a large hall, small
hall, ballet hall, library and primary music
school, and completed the works on 22
August 2012.
In order to improve the physical conditions
of the library and increase its capacity, the
reading hall for 80 people was rehabilitated
by our Agency. Under the project, works
started on 16 August 2012 were completed
as of 10 October 2012.
Support to Paıntıng Exhıbıtıon of the

Sandzak Association of Fine Arts (SULU),
which was founded in 2003. Our Agency
contributed to the exhibition held in Novi
Pazar with the purpose of developing
modern arts in the region of Sandzak,
protecting the region’s multi-cultural
heritage and supporting arts and artists.

The Government of Serbia has developed a
Programme for Sustainable Development
in Agricultural and Rural Areas, so as to
increase agricultural efficiency, improve
the livestock industry and reduce migration
to large cities. In this scope, in order to
increase the genetic potentials of milk
cows, 250 pregnant cows were distributed
to local farmers.
Our Agency provided 7 hoeing machines,
each with trailers of 1000 kg load capacity,
to enable fast and efficient cutting of grass
to be fed to cows. The machines were
delivered to the Priboy municipality on 26
September 2012.
100 Mılkıng Machınes to Pester
The Haci Naci Foundation, established in
2001, is an NGO that provides scholarships
to students, food to families, medical
support to patients, and housing for poor
families and people with disabilities. Under
the “You Can Do It” project launched by
the Foundation, the support of our Agency
was requested regarding the provision of
milking machines to be used by farmers in
the Pester region. The Plateau of Pester
occupies most of the Sandzak region.
126
With an average altitude of 1000 meters,
the Plateau has good potential in terms of
animal husbandry.
In this scope, our Agency provided 100
milking machines, to ensure that families
living in the Plateau and raising livestock
can produce milk using modern methods.

Remaining under Ottoman rule for almost
five centuries, Novi Pazar was founded
in 1461 by Isa Beg, who was governor
(sancaktar) of Skopje-Bosnia in 1444 -1469.
As the centre of the Sandzak region, Novi
Pazar is also home to important historical
and cultural works, including 19 mosques
and 2 Turkish baths remaining from the
Ottoman era.
Serbia is among the countries affected
from the economic crisis, which resulted
in the shutting down of many factories in
the country. In this scope, development
of projects on agriculture and animal
husbandry for the medium term has been
identified as a priority goal for the least
developed 48 municipalities in the country.
The Archive Directorate in Novi Pazar is
working to protect the records of Sjenica,
Tutin and Novi Pazar, three important
cities of the Sandzak region, since the
World War II. However, due to the limited
physical means of the Directorate, the
documents in the archive face the risk
of becoming lost. Hence, to ensure that
the documents are transferred to future
generations, our Agency sponsored the
printing/publishing of the records related
to the operations of the administrative and
governmental bodies of the Ottoman State.
Project was completed on 05 March 2012.
In this process, it became a must for small
enterprises producing animal products to
obtain a Food Safety System Certificate
(HACCP-Hazard Analysis and Critical
Control Points) in order to continue their
commercial activities.
To meet this demand, our Agency
and the Serbian Government’s Office
for Sustainable Development of Less
Developed Regions cooperated to ensure
that 34 companies selected from all
around the country receive HACCP
certificates. Project works were completed
on 10 February 2012.

Rehabılıtatıon of Aromatnoye
Preschool
The Bakhchysarai (Bahçesaray) Raion is a
district with a size of 1,600 km2 covering 81
villages, 3 towns and 1 city, with a population
of 100,000; its centre is Bakhchysarai, which
has a population of 30,000. The Aromatnoye
settlement, which consists of 5 villages,
is home to around 3000 people from 20
different ethnicities. The Aromatnoye
Solnisko Preschool was providing education
to 140 students with 7 classrooms until
1994. However, it was closed down when
government support was stopped, and the
abandoned school building fell to ruin.
Because of the need for a school, the Village
Mukhtar Office and parents repaired one
classroom. Thus, the school resumed its
educational activities in 2009, after 15 years,
albeit with a single classroom. Later on,
Ukraine and deputies of the Bakhchysarai
Raion, Mukhtar Office of the Aromatnoye
village and the villagers and Ukraine Social
Investment Fund launched a joint initiative.
Under this initiative, the roof and facade of
the preschool building were repaired, doors
and windows were replaced, heating and
sewer systems were repaired, and a new
natural gas-fired boiler room was built.
After that, in cooperation with the
International Relations and Exiled Citizens
Committee (Reskomnats), an executive
organ of the Autonomous Republic of
Crimea, rehabilitation and refurbishing
works were carried out in a number of
areas in the preschool’s service block. The
areas included 3 classrooms and kitchen,
laundry room, staff lavatories, stairs, music
classroom and headmaster’s room. Each
classroom has a playroom, a sleeping room,
a changing room, a hall, and entrance
chamber and bathrooms. With this support,
the school, which was part-time with a
capacity of 100 students (20 from each
village), started to operate full-time with a
capacity of 140 children and increased staff
members.

Rehabılıtatıon of the Secondary
School ın Dmıtrovka Vıllage
In the city of Bilohirsk, centre of the
Bilohirsk Raion, has a population of 18,199,
almost one third of which are Tatars.
Although there was a primary school
providing education in the Crimean Tatar
language in the region, there were no
preschools. Considering that education
in mother tongue is one of the most
important agenda items of the Crimean
Tatar community returning from exile, the
need for a preschool in the region becomes
clear.
In cooperation with the Presidency of
Ukrainian Gagauz Turks, the secondary
school in the village of Dmitrovka in Bolhrad,
which has a population of 5000, in Odessa,
was repaired by our Agency. Works were
completed on 19 June 2012. Built in 1980 and
currently employing 65 teachers with 500
students, the Dmitrovka Primary Education
School consists of a two-storey building.
International Relations and Exiled Citizens
Committee (Reskomnats) and the Maarifçi
Association of Crimean Tatar Educators,
a derelict primary school building was
restored and transformed into a preschool
building. The walls, division walls and
ceilings of the school were all renewed.
Moreover, hot and cold water systems
were repaired, additional changing rooms
were built, and the service building was
rehabilitated. Thus, the city of Bilohirsk has
gained a preschool that offers education in
the Crimean Tatar language in addition to
Ukrainian. Furthermore, our Agency also
provided first aid cabinets, refrigerators,
kitchen worktops, cabinets, bunk beds,
desks, white boards etc. Project was
completed on 12 December 2012. The
school has 48 students, and employs 22
teachers and technical personnel.
132
At the end of the project, school principal
Natalya Grekova and the village’s mukhtar
Vasili Terzi, expressed their feeling as
follows: “Windows were replaced, because
the old ones had rotten, forcing us to close
the school in winter in the last few years.
And the new lavatories are fully compliant
with European standards, and all our needs,
right down to liquid soap and toilet paper,
have been provided. While trying to believe
that this project has really happened, we
understood that the Gagauz and the Turks
are really brothers. Only brothers and sisters
can provide such a help with no conditions.
We thank you very much.”
Repaır of the Secondary School ın
Aleksandrovka Vıllage
In cooperation with the “Bütün Ukrayna
Cümna Kuruluşu, Ukrayna Gagauzlar
Birliği”, our Agency repaired the secondary
school in the village of Aleksandrovka (Satlik
Haci), which has a population of 2000,
in the Bolhrad district of Odessa. Works
were completed on 10 August 2012. 240
students receive education at the school,
which serves with 32 teachers and technical
personnel. School principal Stepan Velev
spoke as follows in his speech during the
school’s opening ceremony: “Since our
school was originally built in 1832, it had
fallen into disrepair, especially its windows.
Winters were very cold.
But this tremendous work, which would
normally take at least a year, was completed
within a few months.
The 60 windows of our school and the
windows of the adjacent crèche, and 4
doors were replaced with new ones. The
external plaster of our gymnasium, which
we had built with our own means, has been
done in very high quality and with great
workmanship. In addition to all these,
the refurbishing of the lavatories and
the replacement of the heating systems
and pipes made us very happy. Thus, we
extend our thanks to the TİKA Ukraine
Coordination Office and the Republic of
Turkey. I am a Gagauz Turk, and I am a
local of this village. For me, it is a great
honour that Turkey comes to the homes of
the Ukrainian Gagauz people and extends
its help. I say it everywhere I go: We are
not alone; we have our Turkish brothers;
we have Turkey as our big brother, and
only a big brother would extend a helping
hand to its siblings. After all these repairs,
our school will no doubt stand erect for
another hundred years”.
Repaır of the Zuya School
With the project for Contributing to
the Educational Infrastructure of the
Autonomous Republic of Crimea, approved
by the Ukrainian Ministry of Economic
Development and Commerce, it is aimed to
raise the education quality of the primary
and secondary education schools in
Crimea.
To support the project, in cooperation
with the International Relations and Exiled
Citizens Committee (Reskomnats) and
the Maarifçi Association of Crimean Tatar
Educators, the General Education School
no.2 in the town of Zuya (population 7,085)
in the Bilohirsk Raion of the Autonomous
Republic of Crimea was rehabilitated.
Works carried out under the project were
as follows: Rehabilitation of the heating
system included replacement of radiators;
old heating pipes were replaced with new
plastic heating pipes, and hydraulic testing
was carried out for all pipes. Regarding
the water supply system, old water pipes
were replaced with new plastic water
pipes; hydraulic testing was done for all
pipes, and water meter, valve and filter
were mounted. Moreover, a second boiler
was mounted in the boiler room, and the
external sewer system was installed.
Works were completed on 18 December
2012. Currently, the General Education
School no.2 in the town of Zuya, attached
to the Bilohirsk Education Directorate, has
50 students and 22 teachers.

Conference on the Role of Teachers ın
the Globalızıng World
3140 people from different ethnic groups
live in the village of Zarecnoye, which is
within the borders of Dzhankoy (Canköy),
and in the surrounding villages. The
Zarecnoye Children’s Music School was
founded in 1990. In order to expand the
physical space in the school, sections
in the same building which were used
as public library were transferred to the
music school. Although teachers did some
repair works in this newly added section,
the windows, being too old, could not be
repaired and proved insufficient for winter.
This situation negatively affected education

Ukraine National Pedagogical University
hosted the congress and has graduated
around 100,000 students to date. The
University is the first pedagogical university
in Southern Ukraine. Currently, the
university has 5 institutes, 6 faculties and
colleges, raising educators in 18 fields,
with around 1000 undergraduate and 300
graduate students.
To solve this problem, the windows of the
school were renewed by our Agency. Works
included replacement of 27 window panes.

Repaır and Outfıttıng of the
Sımferopol Medıcal Centre for People
Returnıng from Exıle
The Foundation works to ensure
that evicted children are treated in
environmentally clean regions, and
provides financial support to the families of
sick children.
In cooperation with the International
Relations and Exiled Citizens Committee
(Reskomnats) of the Autonomous Republic
of Crimea, our Agency rehabilitated and
outfitted the Medical Centre for People
Returning from Exile, opened in 1992 in
Simferopol to provide health services to
those returning from exile.
Works carried out under the project were
as follows: 20 windows and 18 doors
were replaced, a suspended ceiling was
built, ventilation system was installed in
the storage and secretary’s room; walls
and ceilings were restored; the electricity
system was replaced, laminate; linoleum
flooring and ceramic tiles were laid, and
water supply and hot water distribution
pipes were renewed. Moreover, a digital
x-rap device was repaired. The Agency
also provided a mobile ultrasound
device, fotek surgical device, coloscope,
clinical audiometer and similar medical
supplies. Project works were completed
on 26 December 2012. It is expected that
the project will increase by two fold the
number of people benefiting from free-ofcharge examinations.
Treatment Programme for 50 Chıld
Vıctıms of Chernobyl
The International Foundation for Survival
of Chernobyl Children was founded in 1992
by a group of entrepreneurial Ukrainian
women evicted from the Chernobyl region
together with their families.
Currently, the Foundation has branches in
14 raions in Ukraine, and is involved with
15,000 child victims of Chernobyl. Although
it has been a quarter century since the
tragic accident of Chernobyl, there are over
100,000 Ukrainian children living in the
3rd Chernobyl area, covering Kiev, Jitomir,
Rovno, Chernigov and Volin, who are
constantly exposed to the affects of radiocaesium. Hence, these children are treated
every year in environmentally clean coastal
areas to eliminate deficiency of iron,
iodine and other important oligoelements.
However, considering the low income level
in Ukraine, most families do not have the
budget required for these treatments.
In this scope, our Agency sponsored a
two-week treatment programme on 07-21
August at the Delfin summer camp located
in Skadovsk, a city on the Black Sea
coast, for 50 child victims of Chernobyl.
President of the Foundation, Lyudmila
Zakrevskaya, expressed her gratitude for
this successfully completed project.

Bılohırsk Solıd Waste and Packagıng
Waste Recyclıng Project
The solid waste collection works of the
municipality of Bilohirsk, where 18,000
people live, were being carried out with
a 1974-model vehicle, and there were no
waste containers in the city. Under these
conditions, garbage was getting piled in
streets, creating anaesthetic and unhealthy
conditions.
To find a solution to this problem, a
project was developed in cooperation
with the Yalova Çiftlikköy Municipality.
Our Agency supported the project both
in implementation and by providing
technical consultancy. In this scope, first
of all the necessary vehicles and devices
were donated. Items donated were as
follows: 1 x GAZ-3309-brand 7 m3 capacity
compression garbage collection truck, 285
garbage containers, 1 garbage separation
band, 1 press machine, 7,000 garbage
bags, 16 pitchforks, 7.000 booklets and
2,700 promotional brochures.
In addition, 2 male and 2 female personnel
were trained; these trained personnel then
worked to inform the public, for 3 months.
In the final phase of the project, a facility
was established for all basic steps of
136
the recycling system, from separation at
source to reusing the end product.
With this project, Bilohirsk has become the
first and only city in Crimea where garbage
is separated and treated with modern
technology.

Repaır of the Ismaıl Gaspıralı Lıbrary
The Ismail Gaspirali Library is in
Simferopol (Aqmescit), which is the
administrative centre of the Autonomous
Republic of Crimea. The library was
first opened in 1990 as a branch of the
Simferopol Central Library, and in 1995
transformed into the Ismail Gaspirali
Crimean Tatar Library with the decision of
the Ministry of Culture of the Autonomous
Republic of Crimea and the Crimean
Government.
There are more than 36,500 books in the
library. 8000 of these books are in the
Crimean Tatar language, which shows
how important the library is in terms of
the language of Crimean Tatars. Around
3000 of these books are in the “rare books”
category. Moreover, the Ismail Gaspirali
Crimean Tatar Library serves not only as a
library but also as a centre of knowledge,
culture and education that collects,
preserves and offers for public use the
publications on Crimean Tatars and other
Turkish peoples and the Islamic civilization
in Crimean Tatar and other languages
As such, the library plays a key role in
assisting other libraries in Crimea in the
provision of services to the Crimean Tatar
population.
These valuable books at the Ismail
Gaspirali Library were being adversely
affected from water leaking from the
roof, especially on rainy days. This was a
serious threat for the future of the library.
To eliminate this problem, TİKA renewed
the 560 m² roof of the library building. With
this support, water leakage was stopped,
preventing damage to the valuable books
kept at the library.

then sown with 14 types of certified, highyield and quality bread wheat seeds. A
total of 310 tons of wheat seeds have been
used in the selected farmlands. 11 seed
types have been supplied from the General
Directorate of Agricultural Businesses.
In 2013, it is planned to cultivate maize in
2000 hectares, sunflower in 20 hectares,
and soy in 5 hectares.
In addition, since irrigated agriculture
is employed in all project farms, an
irrigation duct drawing water from the
Aras River with a capacity of 18 m3/sec
was built. For the same purpose, 59
“center-pivot” irrigation systems were
installed for irrigation of agricultural lands.
Moreover, to ensure that agricultural
activities are performed on time and with
proper technique, GPS-enabled tractors
equipped with modern technologies, tools,
equipment and harvesters were provided.

Developıng Organıc Farmıng ın
Azerbaıjan
There is an effort to increase production
and exports in sectors other than oil,
which include the agricultural and mainly
the organic farming sector, in Azerbaijan.
Hence, importance is given to sharing
the knowledge and experiences of our
country in organic farming. In this scope,
in cooperation with the Azerbaijani Ministry
of Economic Development and Economic
Reforms Research Institute, a 6-phase
programme titled “Learning from Turkey’s
Experiences and Developing Interagency
Cooperation in the Process of Developing
Organic Farming in Azerbaijan” has
been prepared. The first 3 phases of the
programme were implemented in 2011,
and the fourth and fifth in 2012.
Under the project, an Azerbaijan Strategy
Plan was also prepared. For the purposes
of this plan, a SWOT analysis was carried
out in the fourth phase to identify, in detail,
the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities
and threats concerning organic farming in
Azerbaijan.
152
In this framework, to do this analysis,
4 experts from Turkey were assigned on
19-29 February 2012, and 3 experts from
Azerbaijan on 04-15 March 2012. In the
fifth phase of the project, a workshop was
carried out where the SWOT analysis was
evaluated. Topics such as raising public
awareness, growing organic produce and
new market opportunities were addressed.
Moreover, within the scope of the
workshop, a round table meeting was held
in Baku on 01 October 2012 to discuss
the development problems of organic
farming in Azerbaijan. 1 expert each from
the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture, Food

Writers Union. During the programme
organized within the framework of the
project called “Geldik, Gördük, Yazdık” (We
Came, We Saw, We Wrote), carried out in
Azerbaijan, the Guba Genocide Memorial
and a model camp for refugees and
migrants were visited, and meetings were
held with officials of public institutions and
NGOs.
Going through different phases, the
implementation took its modern form
in 1986, and the process resulted in the
founding of the Institute of Manuscripts
at the National Academy of Sciences. The
institute is considered one of the richest
centres of manuscripts in the world.
In this line, as the Institute has started
using electronic archiving, support was
requested from our Agency for the training
of the personnel on electronic archiving.
Hence, the Agency ensured that 2
personnel received training on how to use
electronic libraries, and 2 personnel on

Karacalar Irrıgatıon Water Project
The village of Karacalar, where almost the
entire population of 10,000 is Karapapak,
is one of the largest villages in Georgia.
Although the village has vast agricultural
lands, irrigable farmlands are limited.
Thanks to the 4 km-pipeline installed
to the village by our Agency, hundreds
of hectares have become irrigable. The
project was completed in August 2012.
With this infrastructure, it is foreseen that
the economic profile of the village will be
raised. Moreover, since job opportunities
are quite limited in the country and since
most agricultural activities take place
in this particular region, the project will
contribute to national economy.
Sagareco and Candara Water
Projects
A water well has been opened in Sagareco,
Georgia by our Agency. With this project,
17,000 people have gained access to
healthy drinking water.
And in the village of Candara, which has
a population of 2000 and where Azeri
Turks live, 2 wells have been opened, one
for drinking water purposes and one for
irrigation water purposes, since the village
was facing problems due to lack of healthy
drinking water and irrigation water.

Drınkıng Water to Kvemo Kartlı,
Kahetı and Gurıa Regıons, and
Autonomous Republıc of Adjara
Georgia is in general a water-rich
country, and there are no problems of
water quality in the settlement areas in
mountainous regions and forest areas.
However, in the plains of the regions of
Kvemo Kartli, Kaheti and Guria and the
Autonomous Republic of Adjara, there are
serious problems in drinking water supply.
Drinking water had been brought to these
regions from very far lands during the
Soviet era, yet these water transmission
systems have become unusable due to lack
of any maintenance. Water coming through
these old water transmission systems,
used by partial repairs, fall short in
meeting the demand, mostly due to losses
suffered on the way, and the water is not in
drinkable quality. Hence, water has to be
treated to make it potable.
However, treatment requires using state
of the art treatment systems. Since the
initial installation costs and operation costs
of these treatment systems are very high,
it does not seem possible that the local
people, who mostly have low income levels,
can afford them. Hence, our Agency made
the necessary planning to enable well
systems that are way more cheaper than
other alternatives and do not require any
additional costs for treatment. In this way,
it will be possible to provide more quality
and healthier drinking water for people.

Rehabılıtatıon Centre for the Dısabled
The Social Rehabilitation Centre for
the Disabled offers prosthetic limbs
for disabled people and treatment and
rehabilitation for those with flat feet (pes
planus) and spinal disorders. Being in
service since 1961, the Rehabilitation
Centre was in need of rehabilitation itself,
and had serious problems especially with
regard to heating. With the support of TİKA,
the rehabilitation section was restored
and the heating system was completely
renewed. With this improvement of
physical conditions, the service quality was
significantly increased.
Dısabled-Frıendly Projects for Georgıa
The Aisi Centre for the Disabled in the capital
Tbilisi carries out activities to ensure that
disabled children in the 05-12 age group go
through the necessary preparation phase
so that they can get special education in
public schools. The Centre also works
towards ensuring that young people in the
age group of 12-18 have access to vocational
education, and that young people aged 18
or more get vocational training, so as to
enable employment of disabled people in
the agricultural sector. Our Agency plans to
repair the building used by the Rehabilitation
Centre and to add another storey to one
section of the building.
Moreover, sugar, flour and pasta were
distributed on 31 July 2012 to disabled
citizens within the scope of a campaign
launched in cooperation with the Dusheti
Municipality and the Association for People
with Disabilities, which is in Dusheti.
Agriculture and Forestry
Countering Agricultural and Forest
Pests in Adjara
The Project for Fighting Forest Pests in
the Autonomous Republic of Adjara was
launched by TİKA in 2005, and has been
carried out successfully through 2005,
2006, 2007, 2010 and 2011 in cooperation
with the Directorate of Environmental
Protection and Natural Resources of the
Autonomous Republic of Adjara and the
Adjara Forestry Agency.
Within the scope of the 2012 activities
of the project, 200 litres of Bio-T Plus,
bacillus thuringiensis biological pesticide
and 150 dorsal pulverisers were donated
to the Pest Control Division of the Adjara
Ministry of Agriculture. Moreover, a back
pump and 1.5 l pesticide per household
were distributed in villages with pest
problems. 100 litres of pesticide was
administered in parks and gardens with
butterfly damage.
With the project, it was aimed to control
the Hyphantria cunea (fall webworm),
which damages agricultural lands, parks
and gardens in and around Batumi, and the
Pammene fasciana (chestnut leafroller).
Since forests are the natural borders
between the two countries, it carries great
importance to fight jointly against these
and other forest and agricultural pests
In this sense, an efficient example of
cooperation has been demonstrated with
the project.

Caucasıan Restoratıon Experts
1st Internatıonal Conference
In Georgia, beekeeping does not have
a significant share in the agricultural
sector. Farmers involved in beekeeping
generally do it for their own needs and
sell the remaining products. Yet, in the
Mountainous Adjara region and in the
Macahela Valley, which is located in the
same region with the protected zone
in Turkey, there is great potential for
beekeeping. To utilize this potential, it is
planned to gradually increase production
by reproducing the existing colonies of
the Caucasian honey bee (Apis mellifera
caucasica), which is extensively kept in
the region, by preserving the closed basin
characteristics of their genuine lines. In
this scope, it is planned to provide local
people with necessary materials and
training.
The 1st International Conference of
Restoration Experts of Caucasus was held
by the Georgian Theatre, Music, Cinema and
Choreography State Museum, in cooperation
with the Georgian Ministry of Culture and
Protection of Cultural and Historical Works.
The aim of the conference was to introduce
new restoration methods into Georgia
and enable exchange of knowledge and
experiences between restoration specialists
from different countries. Our Agency
supported the participation of 2 academics/
experts to the conference.
Under the project that will be carried out
over the span of three years, 10 hives
each and sector-specific materials were
distributed to 20 families in 2012, the first
year of the project. Moreover, in the fall of
2012, experts from Turkey provided on-site
trainings to the families to be given bees.
In this scope, 20 families were provided
each with 10 hives with bees. In the next
phase, it is planned to train beekeepers
and local technical personnel, and provide
hives with bees and technical materials to
more families after the evaluation of the
results in 2013.
164
During the conference, the aims of
restoration and conservation works, solutions
to possible problems that may arise during
these works, and various methods that could
be applied in such problem situations were
discussed. The conference also provided an
opportunity for evaluating new restoration
projects planned to be implemented in
Turkey and Southern Caucasus.

(Ahiska) Turks live. With a total of 72
personnel, the school gives over 600
graduates every year. The school is also
well-known throughout Kyrgyzstan due
to its achievements in the International
Science Olympics.
The Kizil-Bulak village is the centre of
10 villages attached to the Kotormo
administration. The village has a population
of 1915. The number of schools in the
region is far from meeting the demand,
and the school built by our Agency has
been considered as the largest project for
preschool children. At the Kotormo Village
Preschool, 40 children will receive preschool
education.

Health Servıces to 20,000 vıa Mobıle
Clınıc Project
48.2% of the population of Uzbekistan
live in rural areas, where there are around
3000 health clinics. However, since these
health clinics are generally in district
centres, people living in remote areas find
it difficult to access them. In this scope,
the Sağlam Evlat Foundation, founded in
1996 with a Resolution of the Presidency
of Uzbekistan, provides health services
focusing on the diagnosis and treatment
of diseases, through health screenings
in remote settlements via mobile clinics
equipped with medical devices.
To support this service, our Agency
donated a fully-equipped mobile clinic.
The mobile clinic, which will be used
in the provinces of Fergana, Andican
188
and Namangan in the Fergana Valley, a
mountainous area with the highest density
of population in the country, has colour
ultrasound, electro cardiogram, portable
autoclave and colposcopy device. With
this support, health services for diagnosis
and treatment of diseases became more
accessible in general, while specifically,
more regular checks started to be
administered on pregnant women and
children. Through the mobile clinic which
serves with a health team consisting of a
specialist doctor, a gynaecology specialist,
a paediatrician and an endocrinology
specialist, health services were brought to
around 20,000 people in 2012.
Health Screenıng for 3000 ın Nevaı,

The Foundation also carries out health
screenings via mobile medico-social teams
so as to bring quality health services
to people living in remote villages and
settlements. In this framework, our Agency
renewed the old ultrasound devices used
by these mobile medico-social teams in the
provinces of Nevai, Syr Darya and Bukhara.
With the new ultrasound devices donated
on 10 September 2012, a total of 3000
people were put through health screening
within the year.

Project for Preservıng the Genetıcs of
Akhal-Teke Horses
It is said that the Turkmen horses, known
as the Akhal-Teke horses in the world, are
the first horse breed to be domesticated
around 3000 years ago. These horses are
featured in Turkish epics such as Manas
and Dede Korkut. Their names derive from
the Teke Turkmens living in the Akhal
province of Turkmenistan, and they are
commonly bred in Central Asia, especially
in Turkmenistan.
Turkmenistan’s interest in Akhal-Teke
horses is at state-level. They have even
established a State Department of
Turkmen Horses, with Akhal-Teke horses
their main responsibility. In addition,
Akhal-Teke horses were the first subject in
the national programme declared in 2012
by Turkmenistan President Gurbanguli
Berdimuhammedov. Turkmenistan aims
to separate Akhal-Teke horses from other
breeds and create a pure Akhal-Teke
breed.
Based on the consequent report, the
chemicals required for the necessary
analyses (DNA test kits) were provided
to the State Department for Turkmen
Horses. In addition, a committee of
Turkmen experts led by Memmetniyaz
Nurmemmedov, former Deputy Chair of
the Turkmenistan Council of Ministers,
visited Turkey, during which they found
the opportunity to see first-hand the
activities carried out by institutions and
organizations in Turkey regarding horse
breeding.

theoretical and practical training for
Turkmen jockeys so that they can see
first-hand the current practices in horse
breeding in Turkey, in cooperation with the
Turkish Ministry of Food, Agriculture and
Livestock, and the Jockey Club of Turkey
(TJK). With the project, it is planned to
work on carrying out registry and recording
of Akhal-Teke horses, performing DNA
tests, making doping analyses, diagnosing
diseases and participating in international
races.
In this scope, the Project for preserving
the Genetics of Akhal-Teke Horses was
developed in cooperation by our Agency

Maıntenance and Spare Parts for
5 Generators ın the Jabalıa Al Nazlah
Munıcıpalıty
Due to the Israeli blockade, there are
frequent blackouts in the Gaza Strip, which
causes failures in the equipment used in
water distribution lines. It was also for this
reason that the generators used in the 3
water wells and 2 waste water stations
were broken down in the Municipality
of Jabalia Al Nazlah. As the local
administration failed to procure the spare
parts needed to repair the equipment,
access to water became difficult for local
people.
In this scope, upon the request of the
Municipality of Jabalia Al Nazlah, 5
generators were repaired by our Agency,
and some important spare parts were
provided as a precaution. Project works
started on 11 May 2012 and ended on 01
July 2012.
Electrıcıty Generator for
Water Depot of Jabalıa Munıcıpalıty
The problems experienced in water
distribution due to frequent electricity
blackouts as a result of the Israeli
blockade in the Gaza Strip negatively affect

However, olive harvest, done in the
traditional way, takes a serious amount
of labour and fails to reach the desired
efficiency. Hence, through cooperation
and consultations with the Ministry of
Agriculture of the Palestinian National
Authority, our Agency donated 35 modern
olive harvesting and picking machines to
olive farmers in the al-Dayr village of alHalil. These machines are able to do the
work traditionally done by 10 people. While
a person hand-picking can harvest only 6080 kilos a day, the donated machines can
reach 600-900 kilos a day. The machines
will benefit hundreds of farmers, as it is
planned to use them in a rotation. This
project is aimed as a model project for
minimizing losses in olive production and
ensuring productivity and efficiency.

the 25th year of Abdulhamit II’s ascension
to the throne in 1901, which was gifted to
the city. The clock tower is one of 7 clock
towers remaining from the Ottomans, the
others being in Jerusalem, Acre (Akka),
Safed, Jaffa and Nazareth. The clock tower
stands in the city centre, right next to the

Jerusalem YusuFıye Cemetery Sectıon
2 Enclosure Wall
Tıles of the Dome of The Chaın
Renewed
The Yusufiye Cemetery in the southeast
of the old city, abutting the walls of the
old city of Jerusalem, has been used as
a Muslim cemetery since the conquest
of Jerusalem. Hence, it has an historical
importance. It is known that the cemetery
is home to the graves of many companions
of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), statesmen
and scientists.
The project to renew the tiles in the Dome
of Chain (Qubbat al-Silsila) east of the
Dome of Rock, which is located on the
Temple Mount (Haram ash-Sharif) was
started in 2008 and completed by the end
of 2012. The dome, built in the early 8th
century during the reign of Ummayad
caliph Abd-al-Malik Bin Mervan, was
designed as one 27th of the Dome of the
Rock (Qubbat As-Sakhrah), by reducing
its measurements by one third. In the
Ottoman times, the structure was used for
court hearings, and its mosaic tiles are
from the era of Suleiman the Magnificent.
As a result of the extensive damage
occurring in the Yusûfiye Cemetery due to
various reasons with the passage of time,
it became necessary to carry out some
broad-scope repairs and restorations in
the cemetery. Hence, our Agency repaired
the 350 m cemetery wall starting from the
Lion’s Gate (bab-al-Asbatt) of the Old City
of Jerusalem in early 2010. To complete
the project and since the cemetery is
close to holy places, the second phase of
the construction works was completed
as of end of 2012 as it consisted of more
sensitive work of more importance. With
the project, the enclosure wall, 700 meters
in length with a height varying between 5
to 7 meters, was built, and landscaping
was done, which is expected to protect the
cemetery area.
230
After the commissioning of academics
specializing on traditional tile decorations
in Jerusalem, a total of 4300 tiles were
procured in 143 boxes from the Iznik Tile
Foundation, which were then delivered
to the Islamic Foundation of Jerusalem.
Under the project, a practical training
was also given to Palestinian experts.
With this project, it was ensured that this
dome, one of the oldest examples of the
Islamic architecture and an important
world cultural heritage, will be conserved
and passed onto next generations with the
support of our Agency.

important duties fall to private education
institutions. The Holistic Education
Foundation has been active in the
education field since 2005 and is based in
the district of Malindi in the former Coast
province. In this scope, our Agency donated
12 computers, complete with desks and
chairs, an overhead projector, a printer and
copier, to the high school located in capital
Nairobi.

3 Ambulances for Kenya Mınıstry of
Publıc Health and Sanıtatıon
In order to improve and meet the demands
of health institutions in Kenya, which
has a population of around 43 million,
and thereby improve health services,
our Agency donated 3 ambulances to the
Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation of
Kenya. The ambulances will be used in the
Mariakani Hospital in the Coast province of
Kenya, which lies on the intercity highway
of Mombasa-Nairobi where fatal traffic
accidents are frequent, the Makindu
Hospital on the Mombasa Road in the
Eastern province, and the Ijara Regional
Hospital in North Eastern province, which
is a rural area. The health sector has an
important place in the Kenya 2030 Vision,
formulated for the development plans of
Kenya. In Kenya where the average life
span is 58 for men and 61 for women,
the public and private health sector has
serious infrastructure problems; with
the project, contribution was made to
continuing efforts to modernize and
improve the sector.

Garissa, located in the less developed
northeast of the country and where
Muslims of Somalian descent live, is the
centre of the region with its population of
120,000. In Garissa, animal husbandry is
the most important source of livelihood for
people. Agriculture, trade and beekeeping
are the other major economic activities in
Garissa.
Dadaab Refugee Camp was established in
early 1990s in Garissa to meet the shelter
demands of people coming from East
Africa, mainly Somalians, as a result of
the civil war erupting in their countries.
The camp is located 100 km away from the
Somali border.

Project for Refugees of the Dadaab
Camp
In 2011, camp population rapidly increased
because of the drought in East Africa. In
July of 2011, it was found that every day,
around 1000 people reached the camp for
urgent humanitarian needs. Hence, the
camp, which has a capacity of 90,000, soon
came to accommodate 439,000, which
made it the largest refugee camp in the
world. As a consequence of the growing
population, the stocks of the camp started
falling short in meeting the demands.
However, as security conditions improved
and rains started falling, the natural
environment was also improved enough
so that the flow to the camp started to
decrease. At this point, relief organizations
started focusing on more long-lasting
projects, such as opening water canals and
distributing seeds. In order to minimize
refugees’ dependence on aid and increase
their resilience, Our Agency distributed one
male and two female goats to 150 families.
This aid is important as it will not only
provide for the food requirements of the
refugees but also offer them a chance to
generate income.

Food Aıd to the Bonı Trıbe
The Boni tribe is the smallest tribe in
Kenya in terms of population, and lives in
the Lamu District in the Coast province of
Kenya. Health and other social services
are so few as to be almost non-existent
in this region. People living in the region
have to walk 50 km to reach the nearest
health clinic. The main means of living of
the Boni tribe is generally agriculture and
specifically the honey produced in bushes.
The tribe is seriously affected from poverty,
and frequently faces the threat of famine
due to long-term droughts seen in the
region.
Due to these conditions, the tribe’s
numbers dwindle day by day. According
to the Lamu Community Development
Organization, the tribe’s population, which
was 25,000 50 years ago, has dropped
238
down to 4,000 today. In this scope, in
August of 2012, our Agency.
Food Aıd to Dadaab Refugee Camp
Dadaab Refugee Camp is in the northeast
of Kenya, in the Garissa district,
established on an area of 95 m2. The
camp is managed by the United Nations.
The camp covers 7 sections: Ifo-1, Ifo2, Ifo-3, Degahli, Bolaxêyr, Boleabextî
and Hagedara. The Istanbul Municipality
established a zone within the camp, called
“Istanbul Centre”. The zone consists of
a mosque, a health centre, a classroom
and a kitchen/cafeteria unit. In the kitchen
unit, meals were distributed 3 times a
day every day throughout 2012, under the
coordination of our Agency.

to take refuge in these camps since they
lacked any official documents. According
to the United Nations High Commissary
for Refugees (UNHCR), currently there are
90,000 people in Libya as refuges and IDPs.
In cooperation with the Libyan “Society of

at the Mosque of Imam al-Shafi’i and
the Sultan Mahmut Madrasa, which are
examples of our common history and
cultural heritage in Egypt. In addition,
relief works have been completed at the
al-Malika Safiyya Mosque, Mosque of
Muhammed Ali, al-Azhar Mosque, “Ibrahim
Gülşeni” Monastery, Abu al-Dzahab and
the tombs of the Prophet’s companions in
Minya., yet restitution works for all projects
are still ongoing. After this process, the
restoration phase will begin.
The Al-Hussein Mosque was built in
Cairo in 1154 after Egypt went under the
rule of the Fatimid. During the reign of
Salahattin-i Eyyubi, 4 madrasas were built
on the four corners of the mosque, turning
it into a complex. Built as a symbol of
the love and respect felt towards Husayn
ibn Ali, the mosque received the same
love and respect in the Ottoman era. An
Ottoman Pasha, Abdurrahman Kethuda,
put the mosque through full repair and
maintenance, ensuring its survival to
this date. Of the minarets added to the
mosque during the Ottoman time, one was
commissioned by Abdurrahman Pasha,
and the other by Sultan Abdulmecit. The
epitaph on the mosque today was written
personally by Sultan Abdulmecit. Situated
across the Al-Azhar Mosque and al-Azhar
University and next to the historical bazaar,
the mosque is visited by many, especially
on holy days.
Under the joint project developed with the
Egyptian Ministry of Foundations, works
have been started for the restoration of the
Al-Hussein Mosque, and the first visit by
TİKA experts was made in September 2012.
Experts found that the restoration works
would require replacing and rearranging
the lighting of the mosque, replacing
the electricity system, installing an airconditioning system and replacing the
carpets. In the next phase, it is planned
to carry out rehabilitative works on the
entirety of the mosque, in collaboration
with the Ministry of Foundations of Egypt.

years of age, which clearly demonstrates
the need for support in the field of
education. To this end, our Agency
undertook the construction and outfitting of
the Tivaoune Sokhna Fatou Ba Preschool
in the city of Tivaouane. Works carried out
under the project were completed in July
2002 and delivered to the relevant National

prison lacks rehabilitative and educational
functions due to the limited appropriation
it receives from the government, except
for an apparel workshop employing 15, a
carpentry workshop employing 10 and an
iron working workshop employing 15. In
this scope, works have been launched to
have Turkish organizations and Turkish
businessmen in Dakar undertake the
rehabilitation and outfitting of the common
areas used by the inmates, like the masjid,
library and infirmary, and also supply the
necessary materials. Our Agency provided
1 dental unit for the infirmary, 4 sewing

The Barbera Hospital has been completely
overhauled by our Agency. Moreover, an
air-conditioned staff room with its own
toilet and bathroom facilities was built, a
laboratory of 70 m2 and a laundry room of
16 m2 were built, the water and electricity
installations (90 kwa diesel generator also
installed) were renewed and necessary
equipment and materials were supplied.
Materials donated under the project
include the following: CBC device, urea
analysis device, cercumaesation device,
sound device, rotating device, chargeable
operation theatre light and ENT set. The
hospital, located in the city of Barbera
in the northwest of Somalia, serves 500
people a day.
Mıscellaneous Supports to Galkayo
Hospıtal
Galkayo Hospital is the largest hospital in
the Puntland region, serving 500 to 700
people a day with its 70-bed capacity. The
hospital used to be fully equipped with all
necessary medical devices, with a high
response capability. However, after the
collapse of the central government in 1991,
even treating the simplest wound became
a difficult thing at the hospital.
In order to increase the physical capacity
of the hospital, our Agency built an annex
building and rehabilitated the old one.
Units rehabilitated are as follows: The
operating theatre, 2 large waiting rooms,
270
2 information offices, 1 administrative
building, 2 lavatories, waiting areas outside
the building, and storage depot. In addition
to these, a new section was created for
use as accounting department, a morgue
was built, and the building’s window panes
were replaced with new ones. The hospital
was also provided with 2 ambulances
and emergency supplies. In addition,
emergency medicine training was provided
to hospital employees.
There are also a few private clinics in
the city. However, the Galkayo Hospital
is the only public hospital in the north of
the region. Considering that 90% of the
patients do not have the means to go to
a private health institution, the hospital’s
importance for the region becomes clear.
Securıty and Transportatıon Support
to Hodan Camp Cadırlık Fıeld Hospıtal
The Turkish Ministry of Health established
the Cadirlik Field Hospital in the Hodan
Refugee Camp, where more than 300,000
people live, in Mogadishu. At the hospital,
21 people work, all from volunteers of
the Ministry of Health National Medical
Rescue Team (UMKE), including doctors
specializing in paediatrics, internal
diseases, infections, and obstetrics
and gynaecology, as well as general
surgeons, family practitioners, nurses and
technicians. The hospital has a 50-bed
capacity, and examines an average of 600
patients a day. Moreover, medicine sent
from Turkey are distributed free of charge
to Somalian patients.
In this scope, as of February 2012, 40 tons
of medicine, medical supplies, medical
devices and equipment, worth TL 1,400,000,
were sent to Somalia. There are separate
observation rooms for men and women
at the hospital. Equipped with the latest
technology, the laboratories are able to
perform all kinds of tests in a very short
time. Allowing response to emergency
cases, the hospital has a modern operating
theatre, and is capable of all interventions
except very major operations. The hospital
has air-conditioning, offering the best
service under harsh climate conditions.
Electricity problems are solved with
generators. Security and transportation
services of the hospital are provided by
TİKA.
126,000 Somalıans Gaıned Access to
Clean Drınkıng Water
In order to ensure people’s access to clean
water in Somalia regions where there is
intense drought, wells are opened and
water depots and fountains are built at
suitable locations in cooperation with the
Directorate General of State Hydraulic
Works (DSİ). The wells opened so far have
enabled meeting the water demands of
around 126,000 people.
In East Africa, one of the poorest and most
droughty lands in the world, lack of water
is the foremost problem. People have to
walk for miles to find water. However,
since the water they manage to carry
contains sludge and various microbes,
epidemics occur, taking the lives of
thousands. The same situation applies for
Southern Somalia and capital Mogadishu,
where 70% of the population have no
access to water sources. This is because
the necessary infrastructure for water
have never been built, due to long years
of colonial exploitation, drought and civil
war. Considering that almost 4000 people
benefit from a water well, it is clear how
important the well-drilling works carried
out by the DSI are.

Speaking during the opening ceremony,
the Governor of Mogadishu said: “The
friendship between Turkey and Somalia is
advancing day by day. The Western officials
entered bets about this building, built and
furnished by Turkey. They thought the
building could not be finished in such a
short time.”

6-day training programme was organized
on urbanization in Turkey, for Somalian
local administrators. The programme
aimed at exchanging knowledge and
experiences with local administrators in
African countries, and creating new areas
of cooperation on urbanization and local
development. The following topics were
272
addressed in the training programme:
urban planning, human resources
management, social municipal practices,
financial structure in local governments,
and leadership and management.
Participants also found the opportunity to
visit the district municipalities in Istanbul

Galkayo Orphanage Rehabılıtated
Galkayo is the capital of the Mudug
region in North Somalia. The northern
part of the city is under the Puntland
administration, and its south under the
Galmudug administration. According
to the United Nations Children’s Fund
(UNICEF), there are more than one million
orphans in Somalia. According to the
Puntland Social Welfare Agency (PASWE),
in Puntland there are 40,000 orphaned
children, most of whom are at ages 6-10
but some over the age of 16. Of these
children, only 2200 have the opportunity
to stay at the 10 orphanages present in
the region. However, these orphanages do
not have the necessary infrastructure. The
remaining children try to survive on their
own, with no one to meet their basic needs
such as health and education.
Aware of these conditions, our Agency
provides supports and assistance for
improving conditions for orphaned children
in Somalia. In this scope, the Galkayo
Orphanage was rehabilitated. Moreover, 2
computer classrooms for 15 were furnished,
and 240 beds and a generator were provided.

The Mogadishu Airport was made ready
for international flights, with TİKA carrying
out the technical infrastructure works. In
this scope, first of all the debris from the
plane downed during the civil war 7 years
ago was removed, and the runway was
returned to its former state. Afterwards,
the following technical infrastructure and
landscaping was done:
• To prevent uncontrolled entries, the
borders of the Mogadishu Airport were
secured with 9 km of wire fence with walls.
• Rehabilitation, refurnishing and repairs
were carried out at the buildings of the
Airport VIP Salon and Directorate General
of Civil Aviation.
• To ensure safe landing and takeoff for
planes, VOR devices were installed by a
technical team from the Turkish General
Directorate of State Airports Authority.
• Training for airport personnel.
After completion of the works to ready
the airport for flights, a committee led by
Deputy Prime Minister Mr Bekir Bozdağ
went to Mogadishu with the first flight
of the Turkish Airlines to the Mogadishu
Airport on 06 March 2012.

Support to Tawakkul Refugee Camp
In Somalia, there are 1.4 million internally
displaced people and 10,600 refugees/
asylum seekers. These people are unable
to meet their basic needs, such as shelter,
food, health and education.
Our Agency launched a project to raise
the living standards of those living at the
Tawakkul Refugee Camp, in cooperation
with the Universal Islamic Cultural Trust
(UICT) In this scope, in the camp where
860 families live, 500 families were given a
total of 1000 goats, 2 goats for each family.
As the goats reproduce in time, these
families will gain a sustainable source of
food and income. Moreover, water wells
were opened at the camp, and various
educational supports were provided.
In addition, support was also provided to
strengthen the infrastructure of UICT. In
this scope, a computer room for 15 was
outfitted and a generator was provided.

Comprehensıve Vocatıonal and

Sudan
The Vocational and Technical Training
Programme was launched in 2007. The
purpose was to ensure that the educators
and trainers working at vocational and
technical education centres, vocational
high schools and technical universities are
trained in accordance with international
standards and quality and contributing to
increasing the quality of vocational and
technical education. In this scope, the
construction works and the educational
activities were carried out simultaneously.
To meet the physical space requirements
under the programme, construction works
were began in 2008 for a training centre
of around 5,000 m2 at Bahri, the industrial
area of capital Khartoum. The construction
of the centre was completed in 2011, and
it is planned to open the centre in 2013
after finishing the outfitting and furnishing
works. Electricity, electronics, computer, CNC,
mechatronics, furniture-decoration, tourism
and hotel management workshops and
laboratories were established at the centre.
277
Activities of vocational and technical
education and training were started in
June 2007. Under the programme, the
trainers/educators at the centre have
received training 3 times in Turkey and
3 times in Sudan, for periods of 20 days
and 1 month from academics at Cankiri
Karatekin University Vocational Higher
Education School and from other experts
from Turkey, on computer-aided design,
information technologies, industrial
automation, machines and welding.
Moreover, in January 2012 - June 2013,
around 120 people received training of
1-month period in 8 different fields.
The annual educator training capacity of
the Vocational and Technical Education
Centre is around 150-200; for each
course period, minimum 5 and maximum
10 educators are accepted into each
department. At the centre, 35 educators/
trainers and administrators work. It is
foreseen that the trainers/educators
working at the centre will complete
their practical training as of end of 2013.
It is planned to continue supporting
administrators and trainers/educators
until the beginning of 2015, and then
have Turkish trainers/educators provide
coaching. In this scope, most Sudanese
trainers/educators are going to Turkish
language courses to learn Turkish.
To ensure sustainability of the programme,
the following activities are planned until
2015: Identifying and fulfilling the roles
and responsibilities of administrative
278
organs, revising course contents according
to demands of the business world,
supplying trainer trainees regularly
for each course, sending to central
government the budget formulated to meet
the minimum requirements of the centre,
increasing activities that will provide
additional income for the centre under
the revolving fund scheme, and taking
measures to encourage trainers to remain
at the centre.
The Vocational and Technical Training
Centre has become a point of attraction
in terms of the role of vocational and
technical education in the development
of industry in the country. Compared
to the vocational and technical training
centres established in Sudan by the
European Union, Japan and other
countries, the centre stands out with its
capacity to provide education and training
in a wide range of areas (computers,
electrics, electronics, machining (CNC
technologies), mechatronics, climate
control-cooling, furniture and decoration,
tourism and hotel management, library
and information access centre etc.) and
with its technological infrastructure. Since
there is an industry and trade sector in all
these areas, these trainings will meet the
demand for intermediary staff members.
With this programme, the trainer needs
of more than 40 vocational and technical
training centres in the country will be met,
and a model addressing the entire African
continent will be created.
Materıals to Natıonal Student
Solıdarıty Fund
The General Directorate of Student Loans
and Dorms Authority of Turkey donated
2030 sheets and 5000 pillow cases to
its Sudanese counterpart, the National
Student Solidarity Fund, for distribution to
state dormitories. Our Agency undertook
the logistics of these materials.
Health
Strengthenıng the Capacıty of
Internatıonal Sudanese-Turkısh
Mıdwıfe Traınıng Centre
According to figures for 2010, in Sudan,
750 of each 100,000 births result with the
death of the mother. This ratio is higher
in rural areas. The main reasons for
these maternal deaths include the lack
of sufficient and qualified midwives in the
country. Moreover, midwife training in
the country is done through primitive and
traditional methods.
Under the programme thus launched, a
training programme was carried out for 15
days in Turkey on leadership, management,
strategic planning and research on 26
August 2012 - 09 September 2012 to 10
experts from the International SudaneseTurkish Midwife Training Centre of the
Health Sciences Academy, located in the
Umdurman region of capital Khartoum and
rehabilitated and outfitted and equipped
with relevant supplies by our Agency.
Under the project scope, participants
visited the Turkish Ministry of Health and
the Turkish Association of Midwives, where
they received information from officials.
Moreover, our Agency provided 6 electronic
devices, 35 furniture items and 500 KVA
transformers to the Centre.
The Social Sciences Academy raises
village midwives, provides undergraduate
education and also meets the country’s
demand for trained health workers
through its over 40 branches.
The Health Sciences Academy, affiliated
with the Health Ministry of Sudan,
requested support from our Agency
in creating a midwife training program in
line with
their goal of
having one
educated
midwife for
each village.
279
In this sense, the Midwife Training Centre
was designated as an educational base by
the Health Sciences Academy. The centre
even has the potential to be a base for all
peripheral countries. In this scope, it is
planned that the experts receiving training
will later on transfer their knowledge to
those working at the 40 branches of the
Academy and at other similar centres.
Since the number of trained midwives in
Sudan can only meet 20% of the actual
demand, these trainings are of critical
importance.
2,500 Cataract Operatıons and Over
15,000 Eye Check-Ups
Sudan is one of the countries where
cataract is most common. Hence, in
cooperation with the Foundation for Human
Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian
Relief and Al-Birf Foundation and Tavasul
Foundation, 2500 cataract operations and
more than 15,000 eye examinations were
carried out in Sudanese provinces of White
Nile, Northern, River Nile, Al Qadarif, Blue
Nile, North Kurdufan and Kassala.
280
Supports of this kind enable thousands
of Sudanese cataract patients who do not
have access to an eye doctor to regain
their sights.
Duodonescopy Devıce to Soba
Unıversıty Hospıtal
One of the leading specialization and
training-research hospitals in Sudan, the
Soba University Hospital started offering
services in 1975. With a capacity of 500
beds, the hospital provides treatment to
14,000 outpatients and 62,000 inpatients
every year. Especially in the recent
years, the hospital has reached a level
capable of performing operations in many
different areas, thanks to modern science
of medicine. However, the hospital still
has need of medical devices in many
areas. One such equipment was the
duodenoscopy device, used for endoscopy
of the duodenum, which had completed
its service lifetime and which was too
worn out to be used. Hence, the hospital
management requested support from our
Agency for procuring a new device, saying
that they had been unable to respond to 5
emergency cases from the northern states,
12 emergency cases from the Darfur
region and 3 emergency cases from the
Al-Jazirah Region due to lack of a
functioning doedenoscopy device.
In this framework, in order to increase
the response capability of the hospital, the
duodenoscopy device and its supplies were
donated by our Agency on 01 August 2012.

Establıshıng a Treasury Sıngle
Account System ın Sudan
In Sudan, the monitoring, identification
and payment transactions for public
incomes and expenditures are carried
out in collaboration by the Central Bank
and the Ministry of Finance and National
Economy. However, these two institutions
use different account systems, which
cause various difficulties. Hence, they
requested our support in establishing the
Treasury Single Account System, which is
currently used in our country, in a way so
that it would be instantly viewable by units
of both the Sudanese Ministry of Finance
and National Economy and the Sudanese
Central Bank.
281
To respond to this request, a technical
committee of 5 was dispatched to Sudan
on 15-21 April 2012 under the coordination
of our Agency. During the visit to Sudan,
meetings were held on the budgeting
process, the collection of revenues,
generating expenditures, operation of the
bank accounts of public administrations,
the accounting system, cash management,
debt management, and the data processing
infrastructure for all these transactions.
Afterwards, a committee of 7, led by Yusuf
Abdalla el-Hüseyin, Undersecretary of the
Sudanese Ministry of Finance and National
Economy, visited Turkey on 03-06 July
2012.
With the project, it will be possible to
perform revenue collection transactions
in a more rational, transparent and
cost-effective way; see all revenues in
one single account; and make state
expenditures via wiring from one single
account.

Soba Istanbul Prımary School For
Orphans Receıves Equıpment
The Sudan representation of the
“Yardımeli” International Humanitarian
Relief Association established a Primary
Education School Complex for 400 students
in 2012. The purpose was to meet the
shelter, food, sports, education and many
other social needs of orphan children
coming from different rural areas of the
country in the Soba region of the Al-Jazira
state. The complex sits on an area of
23,000 m2 with an indoor area of 5,500 m2
and consists of a dormitory, a cafeteria,
a health clinic, a playground, library and
282
cold air depot. It is planned to provide
free education to orphans from grade 1 of
primary school to the last grade of high
school, at the same time meeting their
shelter needs. As of June 2012, a total
of 63 orphans from 13 states in Sudan
benefited from the services of the school.
Our Agency provided the classroom,
library and dormitory sections of the Soba
Istanbul Primary Education School for
Orphans with necessary furnishings and
educational materials. The items donated
and put to use at the school as of August
2012 are as follows: Desks and tables for
110 students, boards, teachers desks and
chairs for 4 classrooms, office furniture
and sofa set for the principal’s room, an
overhead projector and screen, computer
and copier, 110 wardrobes, 110 bunk beds,
110 mattresses, 220 bedding sets and 110
pillows. Orphaned children of African and
Arab families who are currently at war in
the Darfur region also stay at the school.
Having these children receive shelter and
education under the same roof will prevent
the enmities from passing on to future
generations and will play a uniting role.

Health
3 Dıalysıs Centres ın Sana’a, Taızz and
Hadramaut
Kidney disorders are very common in
Yemen due to lack and pollution of water.
Problems in accessing clean water are
a major factor. This is because Yemen is
among the poorest 10 countries in terms of
water resources. Moreover, the widespread
practice of using antibiotics without
prescription also causes illnesses.
Yet, there are only 5 dialysis centres
in the country, which are in the cities
of Sana’a, Al Hudaydah, Taizz, Ibb and
Adan. The number of dialysis machines
in these centres is far from meeting
the demand. For example, there are 12
dialysis machines at the Ibb Hospital,
and 28 in the al-Sevra Hospital in Sana’a.
Hence, dialysis centres are forced to
serve more patients than their capacities.
Moreover, sometimes patients who require
4 hour sessions 3 times a week may be
administered only 2 hour sessions twice
a week due to overcapacity. At the centre
in Al Hudaydah, which administers more
than 40,000 sessions a year, the situation
is not different, as this centre also serves
patients from nearby cities. Hence, some
patients have to go long distances to get
dialysis services.
To contribute to solving the dialysis
problem in Yemen, our Agency developed a
project for Establishing Dialysis Centres.
The matter was discussed during the
visit by Yemeni Health Minister Dr. Ahmet
Kasım Ansi and Nobel Peace Prize laureate
296
Tawakkul Kerman, who is also a dialysis
patient, to our Agency on 05 April 2012. In
this scope, works were started to establish

80 Yemenı Patıents Treated ın Turkey
Some individuals injured during the public

positive results from the treatment they got
in Yemen. In particular, most of the injured
with orthopaedic problems could not be

and their 34 companions were brought to
Turkey with the support of our Agency, and
treated in the hospitals of our Ministry of
Health in Istanbul and Ankara. During their
treatments, the patients were visited by
the Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr.

The problem is so serious that almost
half of the population of 24 million suffer
from undernourishment, while 45% live
under the hunger threshold. The poor in
particular have difficulties in finding daily
food. Reports of the World Bank also
stress that there is a significant level of
poverty in the country.

In this scope, our Agency provided food aid
to over 400 families who had no sources
of income in various different regions of
the county, such as Al Hudaydah, Taizz,
Sana’a and Adan in 2012. Each family was
provided with 10 kg of rice, 10 kg of sugar,
25 kg of flour, 5 litres of vegetable oil, 2
packs of milk powder, 2 kg of tea and 1

Jowzjan Unıversıty Afghan-Turkısh
Frıendshıp Park
To solve the problem of air pollution in
Kabul, some greening efforts are carried
out by the Municipality of Kabul. Our
Agency gives support to these efforts. In
this scope, a project was developed to
establish a wood on the war-damaged
northern slopes of the Pagman Hill, which
used to be a popular recreational area in
the west of the city.
Upon the request of the Jowzjan University
Rectorate, our Agency undertook the
landscaping and other environmental
arrangements of the 500 m2 park named
Afghan-Turkish Friendship Park in the
Jowzjan University, so as to meet the need
for a recreational area within the university
complex. The park, built on the area
designated in front of the Dean’s Office,
was made ready for use as a symbol of the
cooperation between the two countries, on
10 June 2012.
In consultation with the Parks and Gardens
Department of the Kabul Municipality,
it was identified that the project would
require planting pine trees at 3 meter
range to each other, build 1200 meters of
wire fence around the area to protect the
future wood, build a water well to water
the young plants and ensure continuity
of the wood, and build a water pond and
simple irrigation ducts.
As a symbol of the Afghan-Turkish
friendship, our Agency created an
Afghan-Turkish Friendship Wood on the
Pagman Hill by planting 10,000 small
trees in 2011. In 2012, 1000 new pine
saplings were planted to expand the wood
