Localisation must remain central to the future of humanitarian action. It's time to move from commitments to concrete action that strengthens local leadership and shifts power to local and national actors.

What does “local” really mean in #Localisation? It’s more than shifting funds. It’s about community leadership, ownership & resilience.

What if we told you… the future of humanitarianism isn't more aid. It's more agency.

Refugee leaders are challenging the assumptions that shape humanitarian response and asking what might change if those closest to the challenges were trusted
to lead.
Watch. Listen. Start with trust.

True #localisation isn't just about shifting percentages of funding, it’s about shifting power. 10 years of Grand Bargain commitments show that incremental change isn’t enough. We need a fundamental humanitarian reset that puts local leadership first.

Localisation cannot remain a side conversation while the humanitarian system is being “reset.”
If power, funding, and decision-making stay where they are, it’s not reform — it’s repackaging.
A real #HumanitarianReset must put local and national actors at the centre. #Localisation

Localisation isn’t just about funding flows, there’s a missing middle in humanitarian action as mid-sized, often women-led NGOs are collapsing without flexible, core support. Bridging this gap is key to making localisation real. #Localisation #AidReform
