This report looks at the marginalization faced by local actors in the humanitarian response in Burkina Faso. It examines the causes and challenges of their experience, in particular by foregrounding their perceptions. The report highlights existing good practice and proposes specific actions to strengthen the role of local actors and potentially local humanitarian leadership in the response.
The study suggests ways of developing a response led by local humanitarian actors that better meets needs and is faster, more sustainable, more relevant and, finally, more responsive to the changing reality dictated by increased violence, while keeping people at the centre.
