<p>Since 2016, the UK has contributed €328 million to the €3 billion EU Facility for
Refugees in Turkey (FRIT) which includes the provision of socio-economic support for
refugees in Turkey. Through this mechanism, we ensure that the most vulnerable Syrian
refugees are able to meet their basic needs and support their integration into the
Turkish economy.</p><p> </p><p>Presently, the vast majority of Syrian refugees in
Turkey work in the informal sector. While such employment is vital to support refugees’
basic needs, through FRIT the UK is working closely with the Turkish authorities to
bring more refugees into the formal labour market where working conditions, safety
standards and pay are regulated, and refugees are entitled to access social services.</p>
