Governance and Transparency

The governance bodies of the Syrian Development Fund are entrusted with central responsibilities that include activating monitoring and supervisory systems. Here are some of the control and oversight measures:

  • Preparing periodic detailed financial reports that include financial and technical performance indicators for each project.

  • Regular oversight through the internal audit department of all investment and financing operations.

  • The Board of Directors appoints an accredited external auditor to review the Fund’s annual accounts, submitting its report to the Board for approval and necessary action, thereby reinforcing transparency and accountability principles.

  • Publishing annual public reports on the Fund’s website that outline resources, main spending areas, and signed contracts.

  • Establishing financial controls in the Fund’s budgets to ensure fair distribution of resources across sectors and geographic regions.

  • Unannounced and periodic field visits to projects to verify progress and quality of implementation.

  • Creating an updated electronic database of all projects, accessible for both internal and external oversight.

  • The Fund provides a channel for reporting any violations related to its activities and scope of work, through secure and confidential channels that prioritize protecting both internal and external whistleblowers, ensuring active oversight participation at all stages of work.
