Subject / Humanitarian Aid / humanitarian financing /
Advancing Aid Fund for Syria’s Strategic Approach
Description

The paper highlights best practices from selected pooled funds, focusing on approaches that may be
useful for the Aid Fund for Syria (AFS) in three key areas:

  • Complementarity and coordination with other pooled funding mechanisms
  • Localisation and accountability
  • Expanding beyond emergency response

This is not a full review of pooled fund best practices or AFS’s strategic needs. However, the findings aim to be relevant in the fast-changing context of northern Syria and AFS’s funding goals.
