SAVE THE CHILDREN UGANDA LAUNCHES LOCALIZATION STRATEGY TO EMPOWER LOCAL LEADERSHIP

17 Jul 2025 Uganda

Save the Children Uganda officially launched its Localization Strategy, reaffirming its commitment to placing local actors and communities at the heart of development and humanitarian action. The strategy was designed through a participatory process and seeks to deepen engagement with local partners, government institutions, staff, and communities by leveraging their unique knowledge, capabilities, and leadership. This aligns with Uganda’s national frameworks, including Vision 2040, the Refugee Response Plan, and the National Development Plan IV, as well as the draft Uganda Localization Strategy.

The Localization Strategy promotes increased transparency, accountability, and efficiency in service delivery by amplifying local voices and fostering collaborative decision-making. By prioritizing local ownership and strengthening partnerships with local governments, NGOs, and community-based organizations, the strategy ensures that resources are better targeted to address the real and evolving needs on the ground. The launch marks a critical milestone in Save the Children’s journey towards a more inclusive, sustainable, and resilient approach to child rights programming and emergency response across Uganda.
