Reinforce local responders’ capacities to implement integrated programs to ensure complementarity of humanitarian and development actions
Abstract
The article provides an account of WeWorld-GVC organic program to reinforce local responders´ capacities to act in the increasingly complex crisis. An actionresearch process, started in 2013 and involving different organizations in Lebanon, Libya and Central America, has been instrumental to the design of a Community Protection Approach (CPA): a people-centered system of analysis, programming and monitoring of causal factors of people’s needs and problems to enact humanitarian and development interventions in an integrated protection strategy. However, a methodology for programming is irrelevant if not inscribed in a structural and organic strategy to work with the —limited— capacities of local actors and responders. To this intent, WWGVC triggered since 2017 two organic capacity building programs in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and in the Latina America and the Caribbean (LAC), funded by the EU Aid Volunteers initiative.
