Partnerships are vital in promoting locally led response, laying the foundation for how local and national actors work with intermediary partners. A good intermediary bridges the gap between donors and local humanitarian actors, ensuring aid is delivered effectively and sustainably and shaping how partnerships are put into practice.
This publication builds on the Bridging the Intention to Action Gap: The Future Role of Intermediaries in Supporting Locally Led Humanitarian Action report. It aims to provide a practical guide for intermediary organisations to strengthen their partnership approaches, and highlights the role of donors and other funding instruments to catalyse this process. It was produced by HAG in partnership with GLOW Consultants and the Pacific Islands Association of Non-Governmental Organisations (PIANGO) and with input from the International Council of Volunteer Agencies (ICVA)
