Localisation in the Humanitarian Coordination System

This course was created to support cluster and area of responsibility coordination teams to increase their understanding of localisation in humanitarian coordination. It offers practical examples of how localisation practices have been implemented in Cluster and Area of Responsibility globally and at the country level, along with tips for overcoming barriers that might hinder localisation efforts. It gives humanitarian practitioners access to resources and suggestions for advancing localisation in humanitarian coordination. This online module was created by the Global Education Cluster (GEC), the Global Child Protection Area of Responsibility (CPAoR), the Global Nutrition Cluster (GNC) and the Global Wash Cluster (GWC).

This course has been created to strengthen the knowledge and skills of people working in cluster coordination in a humanitarian context, at both the national and sub-national levels. This module may be useful to other humanitarian workers, but it is specifically targeted to the roles and responsibilities of coordination teams, coordinators, co-coordinators and information management officers.
