Localisation Bulletin: November 2023 Issue

Within the humanitarian and development sectors, a compelling call resonates; the need to localise aid and make it more participatory and community-based. This clarion call emphasizes that humanitarian action should be ‘as local as possible, as international as necessary,’ a mantra established at the World Humanitarian
Summit in 2016.

In response to this imperative call for localisation, Save the Children in Kenya and Madagascar has embarked on a transformative journey to identify its value add, now and in the years to come. One of the more consequential initiatives is to develop a road map and a strategic framework to realise this ambition.
