| Where disaster strikes, armies of well-funded international NGOs descend, including many with no prior experience in the affected region. At the same time, many extremely capable local, on-the-ground organizations get overlooked by grantmakers wishing to respond. This workshop will explore how funders can support the capacities of local, community-based organizations to respond to and recover from natural disasters and humanitarian crises.
