USAID is committed to putting local communities at the center of humanitarian work.

Please join us for the virtual launch event for USAID’s new Locally Led Humanitarian Assistance Policy on September 5th at 8:30 AM EDT. Pre-registration is required to attend the webinar.

The new Policy outlines USAID’s vision and goals for advancing locally-led emergency response, early recovery, resilience, and disaster risk reduction.

During the event, we will hear from USAID leadership, including recorded remarks from USAID Administrator Samantha Power, remarks from Assistant to the Administrator of USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance Sonali Korde, as well as a panel of partner and USAID staff engaged in locally-led humanitarian assistance. Please note: Simultaneous interpretation will be available in Arabic, French, Spanish and American Sign Language.
