LOCALISATION
IHH acknowledges the significant role played by frontline local and national organisations operating in the last mile, deeply familiar with the geography and communities affected by crises. IHH remains open to country offices of international organisations to strengthen the locally led humanitarian system with their support. The IHH aims for a minimum of 50% participation from local and national organisations. Through its internal structures, representation, and external programmes, the IHH actively supports, enables, and encourages the participation of these local and national actors.
IMPACT TO DATE:
The India Humanitarian Hub (IHH) currently has local and national organisations and is working to add more organisations in line with its vision and mission. Additionally, IHH is developing a policy to welcome non-member organisations, aiming to expand its network and strengthen collaboration in humanitarian efforts.
FUTURE PRIORITIES:
In the future, IHH envisions becoming a pivotal network in advancing localisation, promoting locally led action, and strengthening local leadership in humanitarian response across India. Committed to shifting power and resources to local actors, IHH recognises that those closest to crises are best equipped to lead effective, context-specific interventions. By empowering local and national organisations, IHH aims to build their capacity, enhance resilience, and enable ownership of disaster preparedness, response, and recovery efforts.
