Resumen
Descripción
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is committed to the localization agenda, in line with the World Humanitarian Summit and the Grand Bargain commitments. This agenda aims to reform the humanitarian system for greater effectiveness and efficiency by empowering local actors and promoting their leadership in humanitarian responses. Between 2022 and 2023, the FAO Office for Emergencies and Resilience collaborated with various Country Offices, the FAO Rural Transformation and Gender Equality Division and the Global Food Security Cluster on a localization project funded by the Swedish International Cooperation Development Agency (Sida). The project aimed to build the capacities of local partners to implement anticipatory actions, respond to food security crises, and promote resilient livelihoods and disaster risk reduction. Knowledge generated from this project was captured through KORE, the FAO Knowledge Platform for Emergencies and Resilience, in collaboration with FAO Decentralized Offices in Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Somalia and South Sudan. The experiences presented in this compendium have been identified and documented using a good practice template tailored around the localization criteria agreed by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC), the highest-level humanitarian coordination platform of the United Nations System. This compendium serves as a guidance document, defining key terms, outlining commitments at IASC and FAO levels, and capturing promising practices. It aims to build the knowledge base necessary to operationalize localization commitments at various levels and foster a strategic, long-term approach with local and national partners.
