“Inclusive Agriculture: Joint Skills and Knowledge Development Center” project was initiated by T.C. It is carried out by Çukurova University with the coordination of Çukurova Development Agency within the scope of ENHANCER Project - Common Use Facilities Grant Program carried out by ICDPM in cooperation with the Ministry of Industry and Technology Development Agencies General Directorate.
The aim of the project was determined as “to contribute to the development of an inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem for Syrian and local entrepreneurs under temporary protection in the agricultural sector through skill development”. With this project, both Syrians under temporary protection and local entrepreneurs in Turkey will have an environment where they can access agricultural and entrepreneurial skills development trainings equally, thus we will be one step closer to inclusive entrepreneurship. Within the scope of the project, the "Common Skills and Knowledge Development Center" will operate within the "Çukurova University Faculty of Agriculture Research and Application Farm". For this purpose, the capacity of the application farm will be increased with various applications, and it will be ensured that the project walks towards the target with more solid steps.
