On 28 June 2017, on occasion of the seventh Steering Committee meeting of the EU Facility for Refugees, the European Commission reported on the progress achieved: a further €714 million in humanitarian assistance committed and €50 million more contracted in skills training on the disbursement of the allocated support, which continues at an accelerated pace. Contracts have been signed for 48 projects worth over €1.6 billion, out of which €811 million has already been disbursed.

The EU Facility for Refugees in Turkey was set up in 2015 in response to the European Council's call for significant additional funding to support refugees in Turkey. Its Steering Committee brings together the European Commission, representatives of EU Member States, representatives of Turkey and the European Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee's rapporteur for Turkey Ms Kati Piri.
