Local and national actors cannot lead humanitarian response without the resources to do so. Yet even as the humanitarian funding crisis deepens, direct, flexible, and multi-year funding for local and national actors remains the exception — not the norm. In this video, local humanitarian leaders speak clearly about what must change in how the system finances response: •funding that reaches local actors directly and predictably •trust-based models that share risk, rather than shifting it downward •investment in long-term organisational strength — not short-term, project-based “capacity building” At a time of global funding shortages, investing in local and national organisations is not optional — it’s essential for a more sustainable, cost-efficient and resilient humanitarian system. 🎥 Hear why financing local leadership is one of the most urgent priorities for humanitarian reform. #FundLocalActors #HumanitarianFinancing #Localization #GrandBargain #HumanitarianReset
