Syria Independent Monitoring 2
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
The aim of this programme is to provide independent monitoring of DFID-funded projects in Syria.

It allows us to verify partners reporting and enhances the quality of our oversight. It is also instrumental to our risk mitigation and quality and control measures. The expected impact of this programme is to improve portfolio and programme delivery and performance, leading to improved development outcomes and stronger public and ministerial confidence in DFID Syria programming.
