The Share Trust and The Aid Fund for Northern Syria (AFNS) developed a localisation strategy for delivering more aid locally in order to meet priority needs in the north of Syria. AFNS is a pooled fund that to date has channeled around $80M directly to local organizations. This strategy draws upon consultations in August 2023 with key stakeholders, including affected communities, local actors, international actors, regional experts, and donors. As a result of this joint work, AFNS will provide a full pass through of overheads to smaller, grassroots organizations, even when working in partnership with larger INGOs. These organizations will now be able to receive vital operational support directly from the AFNS, ensuring assistance reaches those most in need.
