Locally Led Humanitarian Response Networks

  • Publication | 2026

This learning brief is developed as part of the Humanitarian System Transformation through Local Humanitarian Leadership (HST-LHL) programme funded and supported by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs and facilitated by Oxfam in partnership with ODI Global, the Response Innovation Lab (RIL) and more than 30 local partners across 7 countries. It explores how four locally led networked response models in Asia and Africa function in practice, the conditions that enable them to operate effectively, and the key emerging insights that can inform (international) humanitarian actors to strengthen collective and complementary action in future emergencies. The brief unpacks learnings around how governance, decision-making and sustainability of the case study networks have evolved over the years. It also examines how international NGOs (INGOs) - including Oxfam - can better support and partner with locally led response networks.
