Localisation is aimed at strengthening the capacity and resources of local organisations to respond to crises and promote long-term sustainability. This approach recognises the importance of local knowledge in providing effective and culturally appropriate assistance.

We are grateful to Isar Ednannia and the Alliance of Ukrainian CSOs for the opportunity to be a speaker at such a large-scale event for the public sector in Ukraine.
