Humanitarian practitioners are rethinking their approach to crisis response. Social solidarity networks often address daily needs in times of crisis, supporting marginalised families and improving living conditions. This has led to a focus on community-led responses, which build on existing initiatives and capacities within affected communities.

The community-led response methodology supports communities in identifying priorities and organising collective responses to challenges. This approach is grounded in supporting communities rather than replacing them. Further details on the evolution of community-led response are available from the source, including its application in specific contexts such as Syria.
