Recommendations for creating organizational development programs for local NGOs
When we wrote the first open letter "If not now, when?" in August 2022, it was the first year of the full-scale invasion. The letter's last paragraph was "Stop teaching us" because we simply did not have time to learn. Later, we slightly softened this message to "Start learning from us" with a call to recognize local expertise and mutual learning. There is a demand from local organizations for development, and donors also provide funds to implement organizational development programs. However, there is a problem with this money being allocated to international organizations, which begin to teach local organizations, often according to their vision. Organizations engaged in strictly humanitarian projects are starting to provide capacity-building training. These programs should support local organizations to the level where they can directly receive donor funding.

The magical story of the creation of The Ukraine Local Pooled Fund
At the end of 2022, the Philanthropy team and network members took part in a study by the Disaster EmergencyCommittee (DEC) on "Ways to support and strengthen local humanitarian action in Ukraine". One of the challenges at that time was the low percentage of funding for local organizations (1% of the budget went to local organizations) and the difficult due diligence process. One of the recommendations from the study was to create a new fund available to Ukrainian organizations with simplified vetting procedures and flexible funding.
