Abstract

THE LAST STEP IN PRACTICE: THE CONTRACT WAS SIGNED WITH ICMPD

As IGU IECO, the grant agreement of our project named “My Business Partner”, which we presented within the scope of the International Migration Policy Development Center (ICMPD)'s "Enhancing Entrepreneurship Capacities for Sustainable Socio-Economic Harmony (Enhancer/FRIT)" Project Call and was deemed worthy of grant was signed on 26 December.

After the certificate presentation ceremony on October 26, 2022, the exciting wait for the signing of the grant agreement within the framework of the project finally came to an end. With the signing of the contract, which was first signed by the ICMPD representatives and then by IGU, the process was completed and the countdown for the implementation began. The project, which includes social, economic and cultural integration in order to provide sustainable employment and livelihoods to Syrians and local host communities, and which will last for 12 months, is a first for IGU in terms of both its content and financing source. The fact that the Refugees and Asylum Seekers Assistance and Solidarity Association's involvement in the project as a partner institution will contribute to the strengthening of university-civil society cooperation.
