Localization is a loosely defined agenda meant to correct for historic and systematic exclusion and marginalization of actors from crisis-affected countries, often referred to as “local actors,” in the structures of international humanitarian response. The agenda was somewhat formalized through the Grand Bargain agreements that came out of the 2016 World Humanitarian Summit, which emphasized increasing funding to local humanitarian actors, more equitable partnerships between local and international actors, more integrated coordination efforts, and increased capacity building for local actors.

The objective of this training is to provide the opportunity for participants to understand practical implications of localization and review cases from some African countries to provide additional nuance to the concepts being discussed in the broader landscape of the localization and illustrate how these differ across contexts.
