Turkey social assistance program developments

Overview

This system consolidates 15 types of assistance, including birth assistance, disability and elderly pensions, and utility support, into a single digital platform.

In addition to digital payment distribution, the ministry has issued a nationwide directive to address the needs of homeless and destitute citizens ahead of the winter season. Under this directive, authorities across 81 provinces are tasked with identifying individuals without shelter to provide accommodation in public guesthouses and hotels. The initiative also aims to provide food, clothing, healthcare, and psychosocial support to those in need.
