The Localization Pledge
A public, voluntary commitment for funders, INGOs and foundations to use, promote and finance localisation — anchored in the Grand Bargain, and put into practice, not just words.
The commitment
By signing, our organisation commits to three concrete actions.
Use the tools
Adopt localisation tools and platforms — trusted directories of vetted local actors — in our funding, partnership and referral decisions, so local organisations are discoverable and reachable in the work we already do.
Champion local actors
Recognise the provenance and credentials of local organisations, expand our local partnerships, and publicly stand behind the principle that local actors are partners, not sub-contractors.
Fund the shift
Sustain the shared infrastructure that makes localisation possible, and over time increase the share of funding that reaches local and community-based organisations directly.
Levels of participation
Choose the level that reflects your commitment. Community-based and refugee-led organisations never pay to be listed — the platform is sustained entirely by the funders who sign.
