The international humanitarian system is under growing strain. Funding constraints, rising needs, and slow reform are forcing the sector to rethink how it operates. In this moment, locally led humanitarian action is gaining traction as a foundation for a more adaptive and effective response. We, ALNAP and Groupe URD, present the latest evidence on the outcomes of international support to mutual aid and explore the practical and ethical challenges of scaling such support responsibly. The session features a dynamic discussion between funders attempting to scale support to mutual aid initiatives, representatives of mutual aid groups, local actors facilitating these efforts, and donors seeking effective ways to finance them.  Speakers: - Saddam Idris | External Communication, Localization Coordination Council (LCC)/ Emergency Response Rooms (ERRs) - Coleen Heemskerk | Humanitarian Director, Act Church of Sweden. - Federico Motka | Head of Emergencies and Humanitarian, Vitol Foundation - Vishal Pathak | Senior Coordinator | The All India Disaster Mitigation Institute (AIDMI) Co-moderators: - Véronique de Geoffrey | Director General, Groupe URD - Juliet Parker | Director, ALNAP 📚 ALNAP’s paper on Supporting mutual aid: https://alnap.org/help-library/resources/evaluation-criteria-guide-e-report/    The executive summary of the paper: https://alnap.org/help-library/resources/evaluation-criteria-guide/quick-read-en/     📬 You can subscribe to our general bulletin to stay updated on upcoming resources and events: http://eepurl.com/dv90s5 ALNAP - https://alnap.org #HNPW #HAE #HCRI #ALNAP
