Background Information

The aid that WFP and FAO
provided to Turkey benefited some
36.5 million people through 12
projects. These initiatives had
a wide range of objectives: to
recover damaged forests and
eroded farmland; to connect
villages to the secondary road
network; to resettle displaced
families; to control flooding
and soil erosion; and to boost
production of fertiliser, cellulose
and paper pulp, coal and steel.
Children from a village in the
Kizilcahamam district, a hot
springs area 70 kms from Ankara.
In this area, WFP’s aid was
used to supplement the wages
of workers undertaking land
recovery, building terraces on arid
slopes and planting trees to stop
soil erosion.
