Transforming Partnerships
Fully booked
The Grand Bargain 2.0 re-emphasized the importance of locally-led humanitarian response. This goes hand in hand with the need to rethink roles and responsibilities in humanitarian and development action. Where are we now? Are we institutionally fit for partnering? Which roles will local, national and international NGOs play in the future? What does this mean in practice? These are the questions that we will discuss in our online peer-learning series.
The series consists of three consecutive online sessions with a mix of input, individual reflection, small group discussions, and further peer-sharing in plenary. It will take place on 7, 14 and 22 September and includes regular breaks.
You will learn
What the current status-quo in humanitarian partnerships looks like and how we have arrived there
How you can discover your institutional fitness for partnering, using self-assessments
Where your organisation stands with regard to the whole conversation and policy commitments on localization and local ownership/leadership
How the future of aid and international humanitarian and development NGOs is likely to look like
Target group
Directors, senior managers from different departments and board members of German, national and local humanitarian and development NGOs
Schedule
Where are we now? Where have we come from?
We reflect on where we come from, where we are now, what shaped that journey, and if and how we are thinking about the medium-term future for our organisations. Some of the questions will be
- What was the original/what is the current purpose why your organization exists?
- What/who drove the evolution in your organization’s focus and way(s) of working over the past 10 years?
- Where are you, currently, with regard to the whole conversation and policy commitments on localisation and local ownership/leadership?
- What is driving your action or inaction? Do you have a strategy/plan for greater local leadership? What are the implications for INGOs? What are the implications for local/national NGOs?
- Where and how, in your organisation, are you thinking about your role and operating model in the medium-term future, say 2035?
