The entrusted entity will be responsible for the contracting, implementation, information and visibility, monitoring and reporting of IPA II activities, and the evaluation thereof whenever relevant, in line with the mandates given under the IPA II legal framework and in accordance with the principle of sound financial management, and must ensure the legality and regularity of the expenditure incurred in implementing the programme.
Activity 5 will be implemented under indirect management by the UNDP. This implementation entails clearance of the landmines in the Eastern Border regions of Türkiye and strengthening of the institutional capacity of TURMAC on coordination of mine action.
the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the United Nation's global development network. As an international development agency, the UNDP works with the Government of Türkiye to support Türkiye's development and reform agenda.
In line with the United Nations Mine Action Strategy 2019-2023, UNDP works with local, national and international partners on linking mine action to development and achievement of the SDGs and helping mine-affected communities achieve resilience and sustainable development. UNDP's Mine Action programmes have three major areas of focus: 1) Translating mine action into sustainable development dividends, including human, food or community security and livelihoods; 2) Strengthening national institutions that accelerate development benefits, including food, human security, jobs and livelihoods; and 3) Supporting international normative frameworks on mine action.
UNDP will utilise the lessons learned of the Socioeconomic Development through Demining and Increasing the Border Surveillance Capacity at the Eastern Borders of Türkiye Phase I and II projects and will manage the demining and capacity building activities through contribution agreement that will be signed with the EU Delegation to Türkiye.
This contract will be fully financed by the EU. However, there will be a separate agreement between the Government of Türkiye and UNDP, worth EUR 2,121,000, for the non-technical survey that is to be considered as co-financing by the Beneficiary Country.
| Action 10 | Strengthening National Capacities against COVID-19 and other Public Health Emergencies | Indirect Management | EUR 5,300,000.00 |
The action's overall objective is to strengthen laboratory-based emergency preparedness and response capacities for pandemics from emerging and re-emerging pathogens, in order to ensure effective vaccination and treatment and reducing mortality due to COVID-19, and to strengthen laboratory systems for improved preparedness and response to public health threats in earthquake affected areas.

The following key indicators will be considered for the performance measurement of this action:
The action will also receive funds from the 2014 Annual Action Programme. The procurement of antigen tests and other identified equipment may be delayed due to travel and other logistical challenges of the COVID-19 crisis. Similarly, international workshops trainings etc., may also be delayed because of unavailability of experts. Lastly total and universal lock downs with worsening COVID-19 case load across the globe may hamper partners' ability to execute/implement activities timely.
With regards to earthquake zone, there could be challenges for hospitals sending samples and reporting the data. Similarly, personnel's dedication to participate and cooperate throughout the implementation would be necessary. High level support and determination of the MoH as well as its commitment to coordinate between the laboratory and surveillance system is essential.
In order to effectively implement the action plan the support of all main stakeholders will be needed. The process will be coordinated by the Ministry of Health (MoH). WHO will provide technical assistance in capacity building as well as in procurement of the equipment.
Coordinated efforts will be made in order to effectively execute this project. In this regard a National Steering Committee will be established.
This implementation entails the procurement of antigen tests and providing technical assistance for strengthening the institutional capacity of the national reference laboratory in Türkiye for viral genome sequencing.
The envisaged entity has been selected using the following criteria:
WHO has a recognised mandate for improving public health and is perceived as a reliable partner on the global, regional and Turkish public health arena. Furthermore, the WHO involvement would guarantee access to resources at global and regional level through dedicated networks and international guidelines/standards. WHO has provided technical assistance in three previous communicable disease and mental health projects. The know-how that has been built by the WHO technical team, the pool of national and international expertise gathered as well as the logistic support mechanisms, put the WHO in a unique position to support the implementation of this new project.
In case the envisaged entity would need to be replaced, the Commission's services may select a replacement entity using the same criteria.
