Purpose of Activity/Assignment


The IASC Task Force on Localization enables the meaningful engagement and leadership of local and national actors (with a special focus on women-led organisations and organisations representing vulnerable populations) in humanitarian response, enhancing capacity exchange and increasing direct funding.

Its role is to strengthen the engagement and leadership of local and national actors in humanitarian coordination mechanisms and humanitarian response by:

  • Engagement: Operationalizing the IASC guidance on the engagement and leadership of local actors in humanitarian coordination including by: (i) delivering on benchmarks for the engagement of local actors in humanitarian coordination structures (including through setting targets in various operations, where possible), (ii) reporting annually on progress made in the meaningful engagement of local actors in coordination structures (including reporting on progress against agreed targets set at the country-level), and (iii) Compiling good practice on the participation, representation and leadership of local actors in coordination mechanisms (including women-led organisations) and approaches to engage affected populations in humanitarian response.
  • Capacity Sharing: Agreeing on minimum standards/arrangements to strengthen the sharing of capacity and risk management between international actors and local NGOs.
  • Resourcing: Supporting efforts to increase and channel more direct funds to local NGOs including by (i) advising on concrete steps to be taken to strengthen the channeling of funds to local NGOs, particularly womenled organizations (including in complement to Grand Bargain efforts and agreed targets); (ii) Reporting annually on progress in getting funds to local NGOs, and (iii) Stepping up advocacy with donors, UN agencies and INGOs on increasing direct funding to local partners.


Under the direct supervision of the AAP Section Chief, EMOPS and with guidance and oversight from the Co-Chairs of the IASC Localization Task Force (from Near Network and UNICEF), the consultant will work in close cooperation with the Co-Chairs, the members of the Task Force and relevant local, national and international humanitarian organizations, the Grand Bargain ambassadors as well as donors and academic institutions as appropriate.


Scope of work


The mandate of the IASC Task Force on localization has been extended until June 2024 with a stronger focus on documenting good practices at country level, with a view to identifying progress as well as remaining bottlenecks regarding the operationalization of collective localization commitments.

The Task Force Co-Chairs have also committed to ensuring that remaining gaps and challenges are shared with IASC members to inform the future engagement of the IASC with the localization agenda.


The consultant will support the following areas:

  • Support the set-up of a series of webinars and the documentation of good practices emerging from those and other events to pull out key lessons.
  • Contribute to the work on capacity sharing (workstream 2 of the Task Force) with the addition of good practices examples and relevant initiatives from different country examples and support the dissemination plan.
  • Identify synergies in relation to localization, AAP and the nexus based on practical country examples and develop a theory of change which brings elements of these commitments together as well as some recommendations on practical steps to strengthen the links between these issues.
  • Based on the above, contribute with relevant documentation and papers which will inform the work of the localization task force as well as reflections within the IASC at the end of the Task Force.
  • Support the task force in its engagement with donors on localisation by contributing to drafting key messages based on the TF input and in collaboration with other task forces.
