How is AFS governed?
AFS is governed by an independently chaired Steering Board composed of national and local NGOs, community-based organisations, and international donors. Notably, Syrian organisations hold the majority share of seats - giving AFS one of the most locally driven governance structures among pooled funds globally. International NGOs participate in the board as observers.
The Fund Management Agent is operated by Adam Smith International, a global advisory firm and registered B Corp specialising in international development.
