UN Volunteer will be based in Gaziantep, Turkey. Gaziantep, previously and still informally called Antep, is located in South Eastern region of Turkey and is the sixth most populated city in Turkey. Gaziantep is an economic center for South Eastern and Eastern Turkey. Due to the growing need for humanitarian assistance in the South Eastern region and near the Turkey-Syria border area, increasing number of UN organizations and NGOs are present in Gaziantep. • Security: Gaziantep is classified as Security Level 2 in the UN system. Gaziantep is generally a safe city, although precautions are necessary due to the proximity to the Syrian border and the increased population movements in the region. There are no direct threats towards United Nations and its staff in Turkey. • Medical Services: No special vaccinations are required for a travel to Gaziantep. Medical services available are of high quality, and health care services are also available in English. • Housing: Apartments / flats are easily available and generally of good condition, with well functioning services (gas, electricity, water). The cost of housing varies, depending on the location, size and facilities. Housing in general is the largest monthly expense. Upon arrival, UN Volunteers will temporarily stay in a hotel until long-term housing is found. The host UN agency and UNV offices in Turkey can provide assistance to UN Volunteers in identifying real estate agencies and suitable housing. • Cost of living and services: Although housing cost may not be economical, daily essentials such as basic food and products are affordable. The provision of goods and services is generally accessible in Gaziantep. Multiple short flights are available daily between Gaziantep and Istanbul/Ankara/ other major cities, which offer wider options of goods and services. • Weather: Gaziantep has a Mediterranean climate with influences of a continental climate during winter. It has dry hot summers and cold occasionally-snowy winters. • Language: Turkish is the only official language in Turkey. Arabic is increasingly spoken in Gaziantep due to the recent regional trends in cross-border population movements. English is widely spoken in touristic areas in Turkey, but it is less common in Gaziantep. In supermarkets and shops, a few Turkish words are useful. Good and safe English language Internet banking services are available, which makes up for the lack of English-speaking staff in many of the bank branches. Turkish language schools are available in Gaziantep. • Education for Dependents: Please note that the Volunteer Living Allowance (VLA) would be sufficient to cover children’s public-school education costs (Turkish-speaking primary & secondary schools, free tuitions); however, it would not be sufficient for private schools with instructions in English or other non-Turkish languages.
