Key takeaway Despite this, local actors remain on the sidelines when it comes to decision-making and funding.
A promise to increase local leadership in humanitarian responses was made several years ago. Despite this, local actors remain on the sidelines when it comes to decision-making and funding. They have the capability and trust of their communities, but are not being utilized as leaders.
The transition from humanitarian aid to recovery and development is a critical period for local actors. If the international system does not change its approach, it risks leaving communities without support. Further details are available from the source, including a discussion on the challenges of localisation during this transition period and the need for a shift in how the international system operates.
