Transformations through locally led development
How different INGOs have transformed and the lessons they have learned
6 May 2025Bond
Much has been documented about what is wrong with localisation or what went wrong with shifting power.
Building on the work we did in 2022 to develop a guide helping organisations to become locally led and anti racist, we now want to highlights the efforts some UK-based international non-governmental organisations (INGOs) have made to successfully move the project of localisation forward, all of which have taken different approaches and are at various stages in their journey.
The aim of many featured is to become empathetic allies to their local partners and stakeholders. Perhaps this is the future of INGOs?
