This session will address the New Partnerships Initiative and similar global efforts to localize and decolonize aid from the perspective of local organizations, including local government, civil society, and the private sector, as well as USAID country mission staff*. How are these efforts viewed locally, and what has been the impact on the ground so far? What are the major challenges faced by local organizations with these initiatives, and how can USAID and other donors help address them? What is the role of “traditional” implementers (contractors and INGOs) in this process? 

Registration will close at 4:00 PM on April 4th, 2022. Meeting details will be sent to all registered participants shortly thereafter.

This virtual event will take place from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM ET on Tuesday, April 5th, 2022. After 9:30 AM ET on Tuesday, April 5th, 2022, SID-W staff will be managing the event and may be unable to respond to last-minute registration requests.
