The Aid Fund for Syria (AFS), formerly the Aid Fund for Northern Syria (AFNS), is a multi-donor pooled fund established in October 2022 to meet critical needs in Syria. Initially focused on addressing acute humanitarian needs in northern Syria through the cross-border response, AFS has since evolved into a flexible funding mechanism supporting efforts towards Humanitarian-Development-Peace (HDP) Nexus. Following the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024, AFS expanded its strategic focus to areas previously not accessible to AFS partners, adapting to Syria’s evolving political, economic, and institutional landscape. The Fund continues to work with aid actors, including communities, civil society organisations, the cluster coordination mechanism, the United Nations, and donors to identify where needs and opportunities are greatest and where it can add the most value.

The Quality and Impact Officer provides field assurance, evidence and insight for AFS delivery, with primary support to MEL (overseen by the MREL unit) and shared responsibilities to other units (Partnership and Delivery, Risk and Safeguarding, Finance, etc).

Work is organised through a monthly plan issued by the Quality and Impact Coordinator, who consolidates support needs submitted via an online tool and assigns tasks. The plan may be amended during the month, and additional tasks may be assigned as needed. Work is tracked against a performance indicator focused on quality and efficiency of delivery
