National NGOs are often excluded from decision-making 🗣️ @CsfSudan #Sudan. #localisation #AmplifyLocal
Nicola Banks and Gijs van Selm argue that while “localisation” in international aid promises to shift power to communities, in practice it often reinforces Northern NGOs’ dominance. blogs.lse.ac.uk/internationald…
The Global Peer Learning Forum on Localisation Networks (8–11 September), co-hosted by C4C Kenya, convened representatives from 17 countries to share experience, interrogate sectoral shifts, and strengthen collective approaches to #localisation. #PeerLearning @KenyaAsal @trocaire
Grand Bargain 3.0 is about localization, quality funding, aid transperency & accountability to the affected popluation. See what Bangladeshi CSO leaders tells in our seminar. @JemilahMahmood, @GrandBargain_, @Charter4Change, @NRC_Egeland, @sssingh21, @iascch, @communitywsasia
#localisation is key to the #humanitarian reform 🗣️ Anonymous, International NGO staff member. #localisation #AmplifyLocal
Donors may not have capacity to work with smaller orgs 🗣️ Anonymous, donor, #Ukraine. #localisation #AmplifyLocal
Trapped 🗣️ anonymous local NGO staff member, #Sudan. #localisation #AmplifyLocal
“NNGOs dominate the localisation conversation, often formulating reform policy with other Northern "agents" instead of Southern NGOs (SNGOs). This perpetuates an "echo chamber" that excludes smaller NGOs and SNGOs from the discussion”. #localisation #aidreform #development
📢Blog w/ insights & discussions from the #ShiftThePower webinar @NEAR_Network hosted in June with @christianaid and @HelpAge on empowering local non-governmental organisations and transforming the humanitarian system. Read it here: near.ngo/blog/shifting-…
Capacity is seen through an institutional rather than operational lens🗣️ Véronique Barbelet, @ODI_Global. #localisation #AmplifyLocal
Funding models need to be: sustainable, flexible & predictable 🗣️ @humanaidint @communitywsasia COAST @ecowebph. #localisation #AmplifyLocal
An essential *starting* point: equitable partnerships 🗣️Mark Johnson & Ariana Marnicio, @Concern. #localisation #AmplifyLocal
We know how to spend money wisely 🗣️ Hero Anwar, REACH, #Iraq. #localisation #AmplifyLocal
Expanding opportunities & building sustainability 🗣️ Jeff Lehrer, USAID (before #USAID cuts)... #localisation #AmplifyLocal
Simple: put it in your policy 🗣️ @LizzHarrison2, formerly @CAFOD, now @oxfamgb. #localisation #AmplifyLocal
Localisation is essential for effective humanitarian aid! Empowering crisis-affected communities and strengthening local supply networks leads to faster, more resilient, and tailored responses. #Localisation #HumanitarianAid
The role of local actors in #humanitarian 'reset' conversations? 🗣️ @michaelmoss44, @christianaid #localisation #AmplifyLocal
Equipped rather than forced 🗣️ National NGO staff from #SierraLeone. #localisation #AmplifyLocal
Colonial idea: local orgs are risky 🗣️Dominic Vickers, @oxfamgb #localisation #AmplifyLocal
"…there is lack of involvement in the ongoing #humanitarian reset. Currently this is led by @UNOCHA, & has progressed rapidly without involvement of local and national actors [from #SouthSudan]. We have been left out of the process." Modi, YWCA - @ODI_Global webinar
