Following the 6 February earthquakes, we opened our Antakya Office in Hatay with the aim of increasing the resilience of civil society and we continue to develop collaborations that respond to local needs and contribute to the strengthening of civil society. In April, our office hosted many events and continued to collaborate with different organisations. A total of 69 people attended the meetings and events organised in the office throughout the month.
Thank you for your contributions to the needs survey
We received 19 applications to the needs survey that we published in April and prepared to shape the activities to be planned in our Antakya office together. The evaluation process of the applications will continue until 9 May 2025 and then we will start the planning process.
