This paper evaluates the performance of Türkiye’s foreign aid programs through an analysis of its strategic objectives, implementation, and anticipated outcomes. Over the past decades, Türkiye has substantially increased its foreign aid ratio and emerged as a significant actor in international humanitarian efforts. The study examines the scope and character of Türkiye’s aid across selected regions and sectors, highlighting how foreign policy interests correlate with the developmental utility of aid programs. In addition, the paper investigates how strategic goals are translated into concrete policies and programs, assessing their execution and alignment with Türkiye’s broader foreign policy agenda and international positioning. Particular attention is given to the role of non-state actors in aid delivery, with an emphasis on their impact on program effectiveness. Ultimately, the study situates Türkiye’s foreign aid within the wider international assistance architecture, offering insights into how its strategic objectives reinforce both national interests and global development initiatives.
