Background
Increasingly, strategic donors are operationalizing their intent to meet obligations under the Grand Bargain to empower Local National Actors (LNA)s to manage humanitarian and development work and shape the aid agenda. World Vision East Africa Branch Office (BO) has a wealth of experience working alongside a diversity of LNAs, including LNGOs, church groups, academic institutions and the private sector.

World Vision East Africa aims to mobilize the experience and knowledge of 9 BOs to map the organization’s localization experience and to develop a regional strategy and localization road maps.
