This paper outlines the methodology used by Kudra organization to support local development through indicators and studies.
It presents a case study of a project previously implemented by Kudra in partnership with a European organization.
Qualitative field study conducted by Kudra about the integration of Syrians with Turks in Gaziantep, aiming to understand the perspectives of both Syrians and Turks.
One of Kudra’s studies analyzes the economic and social situation in northern Syria, focusing on unemployment and the impact of the war on businesses. The study aims to suggest projects that can help improve the economic situation and reduce unemployment in the region.
Another study by Kudra assesses the needs of businesses affected by the earthquake that hit Turkey in 2023. This includes both Syrian and Turkish companies in five key Turkish provinces. The study offers a needs assessment and recommendations for rebuilding these businesses, including infrastructure rehabilitation, training and support programs, market development assistance, social investment funds, public-private partnerships, community recovery efforts, disaster preparedness enhancement, digital transformation, and innovation grants.
