Humanitarian agencies & donors face risks reaching crisis-affected people. The burden of risk management is often not shared equitably by partners. The Risk Sharing Framework helps partners identify, discuss, & agree how to share. Watch a new video here: bit.ly/47hjw3c
'Estado actual de la financiación humanitaria internacional destinada a actores locales y nacionales'; fantastic report from @hpg_odi now available in Spanish (The state of international humanitarian funding to local & national actors) bit.ly/4ihbnSo #localisation
"Partnership-centred approaches [for #humanitarian response] depend not only on funding local actors, but also on adapting organisational structures, staff roles, funding approaches and decision-making processes." @oxfamgb bit.ly/3VV98vk #localisation
Interesting learning paper from @CSRF_SS looking at what the South Sudan & Sudan #humanitarian contexts can teach global policymakers about the future of aid bit.ly/4xzvC2b
Read this learning note on how int'l NGOs can be more intentional about their role, presence & contribution in #humanitarian responses; with an emphasis on added value & complementarity. Informed by @oxfamgb's learning on the response in #Ukraine bit.ly/3VV98vk
Designed to exclude: what pooled funds reveal about #localisation in practice; read Amrita Paul's article in the @hpn_hpg Magazine from the lens of refugee-led organisations access and experience managing these funds bit.ly/3TO74Vn
Read the blog from Emmanuel Louis & @CSRF_SS on #localisation in conflict, including how different stakeholders understand the process differently in #SouthSudan bit.ly/3SZxFP7
New paper: key considerations for realising the shift from aid-centred & internationally-crowded crisis response to something that is more state or nationally-owned in East Africa. Building on @hpg_odi's #Kenya & #Somalia state-led crisis response studies bit.ly/3TLSxcN
As fighting intensifies in #Yemen, @oxfamgb warns that further escalation risks worsening an already catastrophic humanitarian crisis with increased displacement and thousands already facing famine. Read the press release: bit.ly/4hdSo9S
How did UK Official Development Assistance (ODA) only reach 0.43% of GNI against a target of 0.5% in 2025 (already cut from UN target of 0.7% and then further cut to 0.3%)? @bondngo explain, inc. concerns of further stealth cuts for @FCDOGovUK bond.org.uk/news/2026/08/how…
Non-monetary assets, support & services are still systematically undervalued within formal aid systems, so support for the diverse & multiple locally-led aid ecosystems is vital, says Vijayalakshmi Viswanathan, @NEAR_Network report author via @OxfamAmerica bit.ly/4xJ7XwS
From the UN-led Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) to the new Indonesian Humanitarian Coordination Platform (IHCP); the birth of a locally-led #humanitarian future in #Indonesia. Read Puji's @PujiPujiono analysis: iaran.org/blog/terrifying-tr… #localisation
With recent aid cuts, access to #humanitarian funding for local & nat'l orgs is now more important than ever. Do know of locally-led (pooled) funds? Check the @ICVAnetwork & @NEAR_Network databases & help keep them updated: bit.ly/4xRaGUP & bit.ly/4xacvwh
