How to shift the power

Lessons from iNGOs transitioning leadership to local NGOs

Localisation has long been a buzzword in the aid and philanthropy sector. This webinar, hosted by the Network for Empowered Aid Response (NEAR) will go beyond the rhetoric and explore practical experiences, lessons learned, and ongoing barriers in the journey toward meaningful localisation.

Leaders from iNGOs will share their insights on shifting power, resources, and decision-making to local NGOs, highlighting what is working, what must change, and how iNGOs can become true enablers of locally-led development and humanitarian action.

The discussion will focus on:

• Concrete actions and lessons learned from INGOs that have shifted power, resources, and decision-making to local NGOs.

• Ongoing challenges and what must change for effective and equitable localisation.

• Good practices and recommendations for INGOs to move from rhetoric to real change.
