Localisation: The guidance on the promotion of equal partnerships with local responders
Studio
The Commission has set out its approach on strengthening equal partnerships with local responders around five pillars: 1) recognising skills and supporting capacities, 2) equitable partnerships, 3) participation throughout the humanitarian response cycle, 4) strengthening the leadership role of local and national humanitarian actors, 5) facilitating access to localised financing models. This session will discuss what good practices have been adopted by organisations and governments on these subjects and how can they be replicated. The session will also evaluate what actions are most relevant/effective for implementing durable solutions for localisation. Finally, the session will discuss how to move forward to support localisation at a global level, for example through alliances with other donors.
