"As local as possible, as international as necessary." — @nadinesaba at the LHDF June Plenary. A strong reminder that localization must be more than rhetoric. Local actors lead response, resilience, and recovery. #Localization #HumanitarianResponse #LHDF #2025plenary

How can we truly make humanitarian action "as local as possible, as international as necessary"? Let's commit to investing in and partnering with local organizations. #Localization

The path to authentic #localisation starts by rejecting the false binary of ‘international’ vs ‘local.’ All expertise is valuable. #ShiftTheNarrative
