The Special Trust Fund for Afghanistan (STFA) was established on 20 October 2021 as a pooled funding instrument to help address basic human needs across Afghanistan, in complementarity to the ongoing humanitarian assistance. The Fund ultimately seeks to support vulnerable Afghan communities withstand, in a sustainable manner, the multiple crises that arose from the new operating environment that came into place after the powershift of August 2021. The Trust Fund Management Unit (TFMU) is the Fund Secretariat for STFA: it is the entity responsible for the operational functioning of the Fund and provides technical and management support to the STFA's Steering Committee (SC). TFMU works under the direction of, and reports directly to, the STFA SC and its Chair, the UN Resident Coordinator; UNDP CO Afghanistan provides operational and logistical support to the unit for its day-to-day administration.
STFA constitutes an important vehicle to enable the operationalization of the recently launched UN Strategic Framework for Afghanistan (UNSFA), 2023-2025, through joint, inter-agency, ‘Delivering as One’ (DaO) initiatives. Programmatic activities under the UNSFA, undertaken alongside the humanitarian response, aim to mitigate, and hopefully avert, the immediate impact of the crises on lives and livelihoods of vulnerable Afghans. The Fund serves as also enables multiple contributing partners to channel their resources and coordinate their support for the implementation of the UNSFA and the UN joint programmes developed under it. The three outcome areas under UNSFA (on services, livelihoods and rights) remain key programmatic priorities under the scope of STFA's Terms of Reference.
Under the direct supervision and overall guidance of the Finance Specialist, housed in the TFMU, the Finance Analyst is responsible for supporting financial management of the joint programmes, including planning and reporting and proper control of Trust Fund accounts; coordinating implementation of results-based budgeting; and contributing to knowledge sharing and management.
