Operational partnerships and localisation are one of the key approaches in Terre des hommes' 2021-2024 strategy, which recognises the importance of a profound shift in power dynamics between different actors in both humanitarian and development contexts.
As part of this commitment, we have developed the Partnership and Localisation Policy - the simplified version of which was presented by Martin Gallard, Tdh Partnership and Localisation Project Manager. As an integral part of this strategy, the LocaLink Hub was created to become a global platform providing curated, free e-learning and capacity building opportunities for local and national actors. The platform is a month-old resource and was presented by Enikő Vass, Content and Communication Manager at Tdh. The project is financed by the Somaha Foundation.
The introductory presentations were followed by a panel discussion where we discussed with our guests how localisation is changing the way we work on capacity development.
