An initiative to practically implement changes to the way the Humanitarian System operates to enable more locally-led response
The #C4CAnnual Meeting 2024 kicks off tomorrow🎉 and we are looking forward to connecting again Do access session brochure via this link & Registration drive.google.com/file/d/1K1CDx_… #C4CAnnualmeet #Localisation

“Shifting funding without shifting decision-making is NOT locally led development.” Localisation means redistributing power, not just tweaking budgets. #Localisation #AidReform #ShiftThePower
The future of humanitarian action is local. But scale without reform is not progress. The #HumanitarianReset must: - Fund local actors - Share power - Build inclusive systems Anything less is not change, it’s delay. #PowerShift #Localisation
Today’s Donors Roundtable on Localization was a real success! Productive dialogue, strong engagement, and a solid action plan ahead. And yes, GB Ambassador Bessler — we echo you: “Go local or go nowhere!” #Localization #GrandBargain #LTF #C4C #lhdf @Charter4Change
Great energy at today’s #LHDF plenary! Rich discussions on advocacy priorities and localization with a special exchange alongside with the @GrandBargain_ Ambassador Manuel Bessler @Charter4Change #GrandBargain #Localization #lhdf #c4c
Localization can't wait. Let’s cut red tape, fund LNNGOs directly, and align donor strategies to support real, local leadership. #Localization #HumanitarianReform
Localization challenges persist: fragmented due diligence, limited core funding, donor gaps. Solutions are clear: streamline processes, fund better, engage smarter. Let’s act. #Localization #DonorReform #LNNGO
Localization isn’t just a goal, it’s a strategy. To make it real, we need: - Harmonised due diligence - Flexible, multi-year funding for LNNGOs - Stronger donor alignment & investment Let’s reduce barriers & build power locally. #Localization #ShiftThePower
Accountability in crisis response isn't just paperwork, it's people! Locally-led aid must embrace relational accountability: mutual trust, community inclusion, and learning across power lines. #Localization #HumanitarianReform
Rethinking #Localisation means moving beyond formal metrics of success. Genuine accountability is relational, grounded in trust, inclusion, and shared learning, not just reporting lines. #LocallyLed #Humanitarianism
Translating #Localization into action: FAO shares tested practices from 8 countries on gender, conflict sensitivity, & local leadership in crises. A practical guide to centering local actors. 🔗 fao.org/in-action/kore… #HumanitarianReform #Resilience
Who is the “local” in localisation? Not just NGOs, but communities themselves. True accountability goes beyond reporting—it’s social, cultural, relational. Let’s shift power and perspective. #ReimagineHumanitarianism #Localisation
Calls for "efficiency" in humanitarian aid must not sideline those closest to the crisis. Real reform means shifting decision-making closer to communities, not further away. #Localisation #PowerShift
Streamlining aid must not mean standardising it. Effective humanitarian response is built on local knowledge, flexibility, and inclusion. #Localization #LocalLeadership #ReformHumanitarianAid
A leaner humanitarian system is not a better one if it excludes local actors. Reform must empower—not erase—the leadership of crisis-affected communities. #LocalisationFirst #HumanitarianEffectiveness
As the UN charts reform under #UN80, localisation must move from rhetoric to reality. Effective humanitarian response starts with those closest to the crisis. Decentralise. Include. Empower. #Localization #HumanitarianReform
Localisation isn’t a trend — it’s the future. The Humanitarian Reset is clear: real impact means power, funding, and leadership must shift closer to crisis-affected communities. Reform is radical when it means letting go. #HumanitarianReset #Localisation #PowerToCommunities
"Capacity building" needs to become "capacity sharing." True #localisation means empowering local voices in decision-making and accountability, not just token representation! #HumanitarianAid #Accountability #AidEffectiveness

Real #localisation starts with trust. Local actors know what their communities need. They don’t need gatekeepers, they need space. #ShiftthePower #LocallyLed
