İlan Detayları

About Us: Concern Worldwide is a non-governmental, international, humanitarian organization dedicated to the reduction of suffering and working towards the ultimate elimination of extreme poverty in the world’s poorest countries. Concern has been working in Turkey since August 2013, delivering multi-sector programmes in response to the needs of the most vulnerable community members.

Building local capacity is central to Concern’s work and working in partnership with local institutions is a means of reaching that objective (Concern Worldwide Strategy 2016–2020). Concern is well-placed to invest in strengthening and building on the capacity of local NGOs in Turkey based on its presence in the country, knowledge gained from its partnership projects and global experience to date, as well as the increasing maturity of Turkish NGOs in the country.
