Localization & Partnerships
IREGS World strengthens localization and partnerships by enabling local organizations and institutions to lead. We support civil society organizations, community-based groups, and national institutions to become effective implementers and strategic partners in donor-funded initiatives. Our work builds sustainable systems where local actors drive change and international partners provide supportive roles.
Focus areas
Strengthen the capacity of local civil society organizations and institutions
Design and manage sub-granting and partnership systems for effective delivery
Develop compliance and accountability frameworks for local actors
Facilitate equitable partnerships between international and local organizations
Promote sustainable, locally led approaches across all interventions
How we work
We combine institutional assessments, tailored capacity-strengthening plans, and mentoring with the design of transparent sub-granting and partnership frameworks. We conduct practical readiness assessments that prepare local actors to meet international compliance standards while safeguarding their independence and voice.
By embedding localization into program structures, we ensure that donor investments strengthen local ecosystems rather than create dependency.
Results and outcomes
Partners gain stronger systems, donor-ready compliance profiles, and greater capacity to influence policy and deliver services. Donors and INGOs benefit from reliable partnerships and sustainable results. The ultimate outcome is empowered local actors who are recognized as equal partners in shaping development and governance outcomes.
