The Network for Empowered Aid Response, often called the NEAR Network, is a group of humanitarian civil society organisations based in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.[1]
The Network increases collaboration between its members and advocates for the a higher percentage of funding to be given to local humanitarian organizations.
Activities
[edit | edit source]The Network for Empowered Aid Response advocates for not for profit humanitarian organizations in low income countries, increase collaboration between organizations.[1] It runs a funding programme for local humanitarian initiatives, and an online platform called South-to-South that helps share learning between local and national humanitarian organizations.[1]
Following a pledge to improve localisation made at the Word Humanitarian Summit,[2] NEAR Network was launched in 2016 and incubated by Adeso with $50,000 funding from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation.[3][4]
In 2017 and 2018, NEAR Network was critical of government donors failure to comply with 2016 commitments made as part of the Grand Bargain to fund local organizations directly.[5][6]
In 2019, NEAR Network launched the Localisation Performance Measurement Framework to help harmonize systems of reporting to government donors.[1]
