Localizing Humanitarian Financing: From Policy to Practice Training Course
Introduction
The principle of "localization" in humanitarian action calls for a fundamental shift in power and resources towards local and national actors who are often the first responders and best placed to understand and address the needs of their communities. This 5-day training course on Localizing Humanitarian Financing: From Policy to Practice provides an in-depth exploration of the financial dimensions of this critical agenda. Participants will gain practical knowledge on how to re-engineer funding flows, strengthen local financial management capacities, and build equitable partnerships that genuinely empower local organizations, moving beyond rhetoric to tangible change in humanitarian finance.
This intensive program is designed for humanitarian leaders, finance professionals, partnership managers, and donors committed to transforming the current aid architecture. It will delve into the complexities of direct funding, risk sharing, simplified financial procedures, and capacity strengthening, equipping attendees with the tools to navigate challenges and seize opportunities in localizing aid finance. By fostering a deeper understanding of the "how-to" of financial localization, the course aims to accelerate a more equitable, effective, and sustainable humanitarian response driven by those closest to the crisis.
