SessionAbstract

The Localisation Agenda and the "Humanitarian Reset" calls for a transformative shift in humanitarian coordination, moving beyond symbolic integration of local actors into existing mechanisms, towards supporting strong locally led coordination structures. This session will examine how national NGO-driven coordination mechanisms can provide essential spaces for joint contextual analysis, strategy definition, and operational harmonisation - especially concerning humanitarian access - in synergy with existing structures. Drawing on a strategic partnership between INTERSOS and Malian LNGO platform, the panel will present a practical model of a dedicated, locally designed and managed coordination framework around access. The discussion will explore concrete modalities of such coordination frameworks (funding, facilitation, advocacy), how the international actors can catalyze these structures without co-opting them, how similar approaches could be replicated in other contexts, and ensure functional complementarity and mutual empowerment with the existing UN-led systems.
