As Charter 4 Change Working Group Uganda has always envisioned empowering local humanitarian actors to take charge and make impactful changes in their communities. This training is a reflection of our commitment to that vision.
"Sub-granting is not the same as direct funding. We urge INGOs who signed the Charter4Change to honor their commitment and allocate 25% of Humanitarian funding directly to National and Local NGOs.” Joyce Julian Acoko Chairperson #LocalizationUg
Our Chairperson also recognizes Oxfam in Uganda for championing Local Humanitarian Leadership, empowering Local Actors to respond swiftly within 24 hours when disaster strikes, now you can see that together, we're building a stronger, faster, and more resilient response.

💡The idea behind localization is that communities should be the drivers of the programs and services that support their own needs. This encourage inclusive decision-making, ensuring diverse perspectives and needs are considered. #GrandBargain USAID Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office Office of the Prime Minister - Uganda
