“Leave no one behind”: UNDP improves the quality of life both for “host communities” and Syrians in border provinces" was the title of another article published by Ms. Gonca Tokyol, a senior editor at prominent digital news site, T24. She wrote “UNDP alleviates the pressure on local governments while enabling refugees to be self-reliant”.
