CARE International welcomed the inclusion of localization as one of the priorities of the Communication on the EU's humanitarian action. In particular, we appreciate the explicit commitments made to provide stronger support to local actors and responders in humanitarian emergencies, including the need to support capacity sharing, provide guidance on localization to ECHO partners, and increased contributions to pooled funds accessible to local actors.
CARE strongly believes that more must be done to progress the localization of humanitarian action.
In this context, we are pleased to present our reflections, experience and recommendations for the development of ECHO's guidance on the promotion of equal partnerships with local responders.
