Since the 2016 World Humanitarian Summit and Grand Bargain commitments, localisation has become a mainstream reform issue for the humanitarian sector.

Eight years on, how far have we come in driving localisation agenda to create a more effective and equitable humanitarian system? What is happening on the ground in key areas such as local humanitarian leadership, strengthening capacity of local actors, and building equitable partnerships and accessible coordination mechanisms?

In this webinar, we explore localisation in practice together with our expert panel who hold rich collective experience gained in in a range of national and international organisations/UN agencies.

Panllists:

• Bachir Ayoub, Country Director – Oxfam in Lebanon
• Carlo Gherardi, Regional Director – Central and Eastern Europe Regional Office – Norwegian Refugee Council 
• Wahidun Nabi, Regional OCD and Partnership Coordinator, Asia Regional Office – Save the Children International

This webinar will be of interest to anyone with an interest in localisation in the humanitarian sector, including:

• Humanitarian practitioners at all levels
• Monitoring, evaluation and learning professionals
