Since 2007, Türkiye has benefited from Instrument for pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) funds. These funds aim at supporting Türkiye’s alignment with the EU acquis, reforms for sustainable socioeconomic development, competitiveness and growth, including environment, climate and transport.
EUR 4.8 billion was provided under IPA I (2007-2013) and EUR 3.3 billion under IPA II (2014-2020). In view of backsliding on reforms and with the accession negotiations being effectively at a standstill since 2018, under the current financial framework, the EU has significantly reduced financial support compared to the previous period: EUR 1.5 billion is foreseen under IPA III (2021-2027).
Since 2011, a significant part of the support to Türkiye related has been provided in support of refugees and host communities in Türkiye (EUR 12.5 billion).
