Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Entwicklung und Humanitäre Hilfe
Online workshop (EN)
23.11.2026 | 09:00 – 12:00 UTC+1 (Austrian time) | online (MS Teams)
In this workshop we explore both policy recommendations and commitments Austrian NGOs can make themselves to advance locally led development in their practice.
What (funding) conditions do Austrian NGOs and their partner organizations need to put locally led development (LLD) into practice? Which current conditions are hindering locally led approaches, what changes would be useful and feasible, and where does room for manoeuvre already exist that Austrian NGOs could make better use of?
Building on Global Responsibility’s learning journey on locally led development, the work of our Task Force on Localization, international recommendations such as the OECD guidelines for supporting locally led development, and international best practices, we will explore both policy recommendations for funding frameworks and commitments Austrian NGOs can make themselves to advance locally led development in their practice.
Output: A list of policy recommendations and NGO commitments as a basis for further discussion.
The workshop will be facilitated by Smruti Patel and Koenraad Van Brabant from the Global Mentoring Initiative. They have accompanied many civil society organizations in their learning journeys on local leadership and are closely involved in research and policy processes on the topic.
Please register by 19 November. Participation is free of charge.
Target group: Senior-level staff from Austrian development and humanitarian NGOs, as well as staff responsible for advancing localization and locally led development within their NGO. We particularly welcome colleagues from NGOs working on advocacy and funding conditions.
