Guidance Note on Capacity Strengthening for Localisation

This guidance note presents recommendations on capacity strengthening for localization. It draws on discussions from three regional workshops conducted by the Grand Bargain Localisation Workstream in 2019, including representatives of local and national non-governmental organizations (NGOs), international NGOs, government and regional donors, and UN agencies. It also draws on key findings from a research project carried out by the Humanitarian Policy Group of Overseas Development Institute between 2017 and 2019 that explored the issue of capacity and complementarity between local and international actors.
