The UNDP’s Proposal for a ‘Türkiye Compact’
Is it Politically Feasible?
The legacy of the 2015 refugee crisis still affects migration policy across Europe, as reflected in the EU’s New Pact on Migration and Asylum, recent national policy initiatives and election results in various EU member states. In response to this need to develop more sustainable migration and refugee policies, this policy brief formulates recommendations on how the United Nations Development Programme’s proposal for a Türkiye Compact could contribute to addressing this challenge and offer long-term solutions for Turkey, its Syrian refugees and the EU. Despite all obstacles, the Türkiye Compact has the potential to also become a general model for future cooperation on migration and refugees between the Global North and Global South.
