At the panel discussion on “The Role of INGOs in a Dynamic and Changing Sector,” our Executive Director, @FatumaKinsi , underscored that localization must move beyond shifting resources “it is about shifting power and shaping the agenda.”
She reflected on the unique role of local actors, stating:
“The beauty and power of local actors is that they are part of community structures. They live its challenges, speak its language, and carry its hope.”
Fatuma called for partnerships anchored in trust, mutual respect, shared learning, and equitable power balance, stressing:
“Only by working together as equal partners can we create change that truly lasts.”
She further emphasized that through platforms such as the @KenyaAsal , local voices can influence policy, strengthen coordination, and build resilience in communities facing recurrent droughts, floods, and conflict.
