Turning the Tables: Research briefing

This briefing paper shares research findings about how international organisations and local or national organisations can work in partnership to respond to crises. The research was commissioned by Save the Children and carried out by Saferworld.

The research focused on partnerships in conflict-affected contexts. It identified successful examples of locally-led partnerships as well as the factors that explained their success. A roundtable discussion in November 2018 between international and national organisations in London, United Kingdom shaped the field research methodology, which involved interviews of local actors in Myanmar, Uganda and by phone with Syria.
