Our Approach

We go beyond buzzwords and catalyze meaningful change.

Through genuine collaboration, we strive to effect transformative change and work towards a future where local actors are the leaders of their own humanitarian responses and where the power dynamics within the humanitarian system are rebalanced.

Our purpose is grounded in the belief that true locally-led responses require more than just rhetoric – it necessitates genuine collaboration, empowerment and support for local civil society organizations. We purposefully navigate away from the empty buzzwords by actively engaging and offering collaboration to local and national organizations and centering their perspective in all our endeavors. We prioritize building meaningful relationships and partnerships that enable us to address systemic barriers that hinder the localization agenda.
