Locally-led Action in Crises: Experiences from Introducing Survivor and Community-led Response in Ukraine
Fully booked
Integrating local response and spontaneous self-help in crisis situations after a disaster or conflict, whether rapid onset, chronic, or protracted, is not an easy task. This hands-on workshop developed and conducted by the Local2Global Protection Initiative (L2GP) and a Ukrainian national NGO partner will introduce you to the survivor and community-led crisis responses (sclr) approach in conflict situations, including lessons learned from Ukraine . Through hearing from experience and learning that has begun emerging from facilitating sclr around the war in Ukraine, you may see the potential for supporting and resourcing efforts already made by citizens and communities during times of crisis and conflict situations. This course will equip you with the deep understanding, relevant tools, and learning from practical experience you need to support genuinely community-led responses.
The course is planned as an online course from 21 to 23 November 2022 and includes regular breaks. It is part of the academy for humanitarian action's certification scheme in "Locally-led Humanitarian Action".

Local to Global Protection
Lecturer
Local to Global Protection works to change the humanitarian system, pushing for meaningful localization through documenting and promoting local perspectives and responses to protection in major humanitarian crises. L2GP was founded in 2009 with research into community responses to crisis. This research provides the foundation for the survivor and community-led crisis response approach, and L2GP partners with a variety of international, national and local organisations to implement this approach in humanitarian contexts around the world. L2GP’s work is led and promoted by a diverse and growing community of practitioners from both the Global South and North.
