Approaches to Strengthen National Actorsb Role in Humanitarian Response
The call to b reinforce and not replaceb national and local capacity and actors is one of the key outcomes of the World Humanitarian Summit. The Grand Bargain has further reiterated the need to provide direct resources to local NGOs and strengthen their capacity. These initiatives have placed the issue of localization high on the international humanitarian agenda and are promoting change in the way humanitarian response is coordinated and delivered.
This webinar will examine good practice and approaches from several countries that encourage the engagement of national and local actors in the delivery and coordination of humanitarian response.
Panelists including Global Cluster Coordinators, National and International NGO leaders, Cluster Coordinators and OCHA field representatives will offer suggestions and tips to enhance national actors’ participation in coordination mechanisms, good practice that supports resourcing and capacity strengthening, as well as helpful approaches for clusters in working with national authorities. A good practice document will be compiled based on the webinar discussion and will be shared as an outcome of the webinar.
