Innovative and Empowering Partnerships. A dialogue between NGOs and donors on the future of the Grand Bargain
The current COVID crisis shows the relevance of local organizations in humanitarian responses. And that an open exploration of genuine local leadership in humanitarian responses is both relevant and urgent.
After a disaster, local humanitarian actors are always first and longer term responders and they are good informed responders. However, often local actors are (or at least feel) displaced by international NGOs whenever a disaster response is scaled up.
What innovations of 'the humanitarian system' are needed to strengthen local leadership?
KUNO, the Platform for Humanitarian Knowledge Exchange in The Netherlands, and A4EP, the Alliance for Empowering Partnership, organize during the Impact-Fest an NGO-donor dialogue on systemic innovations of the humanitarian sector for better responses.
Representatives of local NGOs are expressly invited to participate in this exchange of good practices, bottlenecks and innovations needed.

About me
I help leaders, entrepreneurs, and teams thrive in change.
I am a social entrepreneur with 18+ years of experience turned business designer for purpose-driven business and social enterprises.
I have co-founded 2 social enterprises. The last one Love Matters scaled to 7 countries (India, Mexico, Venezuela, Egypt, Kenya, and China). Our products and services conservatively touched between 10 and 30 million. As part of that journey, I’ve grown our team from 3 to 60+ people globally and raised 3 million.
I’ve learned a lot of lessons - the hard way. I’m happy to share those experiences so that others can make new mistakes along the way.
I specialize in 3 phases: start-up, building (series A, B), and scaling.
I have deep experience in business and organizational strategy, growth (talent, teams, product), and product (translating customer/client/beneficiaries insights).
I look at company challenges from 5 lenses:
