Outputs of the Project on Increasing the Capacity of the Social Security Institution Published!

Carried out to harmonize legislation and increase administrative capacity in order to ensure the coordination of the Turkish social security system with the social security systems of EU member states, the "Increasing the Capacity of the Social Security Institution" project was implemented between 2010 and 2011. Within the scope of the project, supported under the European Union's Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA), various training sessions, workshops and awareness-raising activities were carried out. In addition, a screening of the Turkish social security system was conducted and a strategy document on its harmonization with EU social legislation was prepared; reports were prepared on social security trends in the EU, non-contributory benefits and minimum income schemes; and a handbook on social security in the EU and a glossary of social security terms (English-Turkish, Turkish-English) were produced.
