Transformations through locally led development

Transformations through locally led development

12 May 2025

Over the past year, Bond has worked with UK-based INGOs to document what it takes to move from intention to action on locally led development. This webinar will bring to life real-world examples from organisations that have restructured their governance, reimagined partnerships, and shifted decision-making closer to the communities they serve.

The webinar shone a spotlight on stories featured in Bond’s new case study collection, Transformations to Locally Led Development, and reintroduced the Becoming locally led as an anti-racist practice: a guide as a core sector resource.

Speakers from Avert, HelpAge International and Link Education, shared their journeys so far. They shared:

  • Honest reflections on what’s worked and what hasn’t
  • Real-life strategies for navigating bottlenecks and resistance
  • Practical takeaways for INGOs at any stage of their localisation journey

Here are the slides that were shared.
