![]() ![]() This year's World Disasters Report makes a timely contribution to the discussion by unpacking the role of local actors across a range of contexts. In the consultations leading up to the 2016 World Humanitarian Summit, we have heard repeatedly that the only lasting solutions are ones that build on the capacity of local actors, including women and youth, and empower them to take leadership roles. They are also consistently at highest risk of attack and insecurity. In disasters and conflicts around the world, local organizations are first responders, key operational partners, and stay behind long after the tide of international assistance has receded. The World Disasters Report 2015 features: – Local actors, the present and the future of humanitarian action – Capacity development for better disaster risk management – Law, governance and the role of local actors – Are funding patterns keeping pace with trends and evidence? – Aid delivery in insecure environments – The role of local actors in protracted conflict – Digital empowerment of local actors – Disaster data Local organizations are on the front line of providing life-saving humanitarian assistance and protection. The report also looks at gaps in the laws and norms concerning humanitarian relief and disaster risk management, and the fact that the current approach to humanitarian response rarely considers a crisis's specific nature and context or the capacity of national actors. It examines the challenges of partnerships with local actors and delivering aid in insecure and inaccessible environments. It tracks humanitarian financing and why local organizations receive so little. The report aims at addressing some problematic questions and exploring current experience and future trends in the roles of local actors in humanitarian work. ![]() Focus on local actors, the key to humanitarian effectiveness This year's World Disasters Report focuses on local actors and their role at the centre of effective humanitarian action. ![]()
