Localisation in Practice: Implementing responsible humanitarian partnerships in Ukraine

This brief will share the programmatic interventions Non Violent Peaceforce implemented to bridge risk gaps between responders and assess their impact on asymmetric relationships between international and local actors, identifying where local actors are still absorbing disproportionate risk. For implementing different strategies, Non Violent Peaceforce and our partners have learned instructive lessons, and this brief seeks to illuminate these so that other organisations and donors can learn from these experiences. We provide these broader recommendations for responsible partnerships for implementing localised humanitarian responses and for better protecting civilians throughout Ukraine and beyond.
