Supporting local intermediaries through the Local Coalition Accelerator Model

The Share Trust and Warande Advisory Centre initiated the Local Coalition Accelerator (LCA) model, which brings together local and national organisations to form coalitions that co-create solutions supporting locally led development. Coalitions serve as convenors, fiscal agents and amplifiers of locally led initiatives, enabling effective, cost-efficient and community-centred development.

Localizing Humanitarian Action in Africa

In fragile and conflict-affected states, resident CSOs are often the first to respond and have access to areas that are difficult for international actors to reach in the immediate aftermath of a crisis. Their presence within communities before, during, and after crises positions them to provide basic services, mobilize resources to respond to the needs of affected populations, and build longer-term resilience. Despite the importance of engaging local and national actors in all phases of humanitarian action, they remain excluded in systems built by and designed for international actors and multilateral organizations.
