Talking Localisation: Issue No. 10 (June 2026)

This edition explores what Global South humanitarian actors expect from the international aid system at a time of shrinking resources and growing humanitarian need. Across the featured articles, they call for adequate overhead funding, recognition of locally-led organisations, and leadership models that address structural power imbalances. Together, the contributions argue that the future of localisation depends not on whether local actors can lead, but on whether the international system is willing to support leadership on terms defined by those closest to crises.
