Localisation TWG

The TWG on Localization is co-chaired by PIANGO, FemLink and Fiji Disabled People’s Federation. The focus of the TWG is to establish communities of best practice actively engaging in knowledge sharing in disaster preparedness, response and recovery. The TWG will also highlight the need to support localized women-led humanitarian responses by bringing attention to existing women led initiatives that also prevent age and disability exclusion so that diverse women leaders must be driving community-based responses to ensure long-term sustainability by strengthening the humanitarian and development nexus. The TWG membership includes various humanitarian and development actors from government, civil society, private sector, Faith-based Organizations (FBO) and Community-based Organizations (CBO) covering over 22 Pacific Islands and Territories.

It commissioned a mapping survey to identify who is doing what in Humanitarian action in the region, document the support mechanisms in place and use the information to develop a plan to strengthen and build on the current work. The outcomes of the survey has been documented in a report and launched through the PRP webinar series on May 25, 2021. The results of the mapping activity has been compiled into a report and was endorsed by the TWG members in February 2021. Click below to retrieve a copy.
