Contribution of various actors towards Localisation of Humanitarian and Development action in Rwanda

This study was commissioned by a number of development and humanitarian actors in Rwanda (Caritas Rwanda, Concern Worldwide, Norwegian People’s Aid, Oxfam, Red Cross Rwanda, Save the Children, and Trócaire) to document the contribution of different actors toward the implementation of the Grand Bargain commitments in Rwanda.

The qualitative research provides insights on existent partnership models between local and international actors, including good practices, challenges, and recommendations to progress the localization agenda in Rwanda.

This paper also analyzes the localization process in Rwanda by using an adapted version of the localization framework developed by the Network for Empowered Aid Response. The research framework distinguishes four components of analysis: partnership, funding, capacity strengthening, and voice and influence.
