    • ABOUT THE EVENT

      Localisation is one of the most pressing initiatives in the humanitarian-development-peace sector. Its purpose is to shift decision-making and resources towards local actors and enable more locally led responses to the multitude of protracted crises that communities face.

      This training-of-trainers (ToT) event is organised by ACTLearn, a group of seven organisations working to build and strengthen capacity within the ACT Alliance. ACTLearn consists of the ACT Alliance Secretariat, Act Church of Sweden, Norwegian Church Aid, DanChurchAid, Diakonia and Lutheran World Federation. The group is facilitated and coordinated by Fabo Learning Lab.

      This webinar will hopefully be the first of a series of webinars designed to encourage and invite for reflection, self-reflection and conversation and exchange among practitioners working with localisation in civil society around the world. It is our hope that we can facilitate meaningful dialogue and experience sharing that can contribute positively to the localisation agenda.

      We will also be launching and introducing a localisation learning tool designed by DanChurchAid and Omarang Charity Association for Multipurpose (OCAM). The intention is for it to be a living tool where real-world experiences and knowledge can be shared and where conversations can continue. Find out more below.
