Needs Map (İhtiyaç Haritası): Putting need and offer on the same map. The letter is B; certainty is medium. Unconfirmed concerns are placed under “Watching.” (As of 2026-Q4; estimate based on public information.)
Main narrative
Needs Map, started in Turkey in 2015, puts what is missing onto a map. People and organizations register what they need; those with something to give see it and deliver directly. Rather than collecting money and distributing it, the platform matches need against what is already in people's hands, and the geography can be narrowed down to a neighborhood or a street.
Whether a registered need is genuine is checked through local organizations and community verification. Membership has passed 120,000 since 2015 and more than ten million items of need have been met, across education, health, culture and the arts. In September 2026, together with UNICEF and the metropolitan municipalities of Ankara, Gaziantep and İzmir, it launched a 'Child Map' to identify children's needs in education, health and protection — an attempt to feed what is found on the ground back into public policy.
One person’s story (N1)
+ A single story
The benefit appears collectively. People who register what they need are connected directly with people who can give it: membership has passed 120,000 since 2015 and more than ten million items of need have been met. In September 2026, UNICEF and metropolitan municipalities joined a project mapping children's needs in education, health and protection. Source type: independent (international body)
Source nature: UNICEF Türkiye / T1 international body. Positive effects are not used to offset negatives.
Positive / negative effects
+ effects
- The positive side of this assessment rests on the single story (N1) above and its source. A per-item ledger of positive effects has not yet been compiled for this organization.T1 international body
Watching (unconfirmed; not counted in the assessment)- Verification of registered needs
- skew in registration caused by the digital divide
Looking ahead (not included in the assessment)- Linking the UNICEF 'Child Map' to local policy for children.
A second look
Registering and verifying need depends on people, and those who cannot speak up never appear on the map. How to include households without digital access is the question.

How to read this assessment
A Independently verified +, with no confirmed −
B Leans +, with independent backing
C Mixed. A confirmed − sets the ceiling, or much is unverified
D A serious confirmed − sets the ceiling
E A serious − reaches the core of the organization
F Serious and systemic, with little redeeming +
G Only extreme cases
Out of scope An entity whose core purpose is illegal
On hold Independent evidence is scarce on both + and −
- Reachable upper bound (ceiling): a confirmed − sets the ceiling, and independently verified + decide the position within it. + do not cancel out −.
- The weight of evidence is not symmetric: only confirmed − are counted; the volume of disputes or allegations goes under “Watching.” + are counted from independent evidence, while an organization’s own PR is treated as “reference.”
- Size is not value: scale is not used in the assessment. Matters that stay within money or competition—investors, shareholders, sanctions, trade secrets—are also excluded.
- The letter (assessment) and certainty (how reliable the information is) are separate axes.
This is a translation; the Japanese version is authoritative. The assessments here are generated automatically by AI based on published criteria. The operator does not alter individual results. Because they are AI-generated they may contain errors, and they are opinion and commentary, not statements of fact. Where evidence is insufficient, the entry is marked “On hold.” Requests for correction are accepted via the form.
