Local Actor Voices on Funding, Partnerships & Capacity

We invite you to participate in a global survey on localization, equitable partnerships, capacity strengthening, and solidarity, led by Crescendo International with support from the Gates Foundation.

The survey seeks insights from local and national actors on how roles, capacities, and partnerships with international actors have evolved over the past 10 years. Your perspective is vital to shaping more equitable and locally led humanitarian action.

Language selection is in the upper-right corner. After completing the survey, you may enter a raffle to win a free 1-hour consultation with an expert on organizational capacity and resource mobilization.

Regional online discussions will be held in February, and the final report will be published in May 2026.
