Joint efforts by municipalities, businesses, the public sector and international organisations can significantly accelerate the community recovery process and increase their absorptive capacity. This is evidenced by the communities of the BIG-region (Bucha, Irpin, Hostomel, Borodyanka), which have been recovering from de-occupation for 2 years. Mykhailyna Skoryk-Shkarivska, president of the ‘Institute for Sustainable Development of Communities’ (ISDC), shared her observations at a public discussion on ‘Absorptive capacity of communities. How to effectively attract and rationally allocate resources for recovery?’. This expert discussion was organised by the Institute of Analytics and Advocacy on 17 October 2024. According to Mykhailyn Skoryk-Shkarivska, the ability of communities in the BIG-region to raise funds has increased significantly due to active cooperation with international organisations, the public sector and businesses. ‘Communities that are open to partnerships and dialogue are more successful in implementing projects. This is especially important for the de-occupied territories, which need not only emergency assistance but also a strategic approach for long-term recovery,’ said Ms Skoryk-Shkarivska Михайлина Скорик. She also told about the practices of interaction between the government and the public, challenges in attracting and allocating resources, and trends in business recovery in the BIG-region. #ISDC #Communities #AbsorptionCapacity #Buch #Deoccupation #Recovery #BIGregion #Partnership

?? Chiara Liguori of Oxfam speaking today of lessons learned from community-led projects to address #LossAndDamage at the event: “Communities First: Learning lessons from Scotland’s approaches to funding #LossAndDamage”, held by The Scottish Government with partners Oxfam, GiveDirectly, International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) and C40 Cities at #COP29, said: ? One of the main lessons we learnt is that when communities ???? are given access to #LossAndDamage funding ?? and decision-making ?? is that they can really lead the work. This results in community ownership and projects become more sustainable ?? and durable ??. When we talk about the #LossAndDamage Fund ?? and other funding arrangements ??, we need to make sure that there are direct access modalities that can facilitate community engagement ??????. ? _____ ??

Funding for Local Community Organizations ~ The Little Pennies While local community organizations have proven to be effective in designing and implementing sustainable interventions from the fact that they developed local solutions at the very grassroots, they receive significantly low support and funding. Data shows that the share of international humanitarian funding to local and national NGOs is extremely low and still reducing. As a result, most local community organizations have been crippled with a significant percentage closing down their operations. This translates to denying the grassroot communities the opportunity to grow sustainable and be self-sufficient. Therefore, poverty and the relating effects continue pressing our rural communities. These effects are also felt in our rural areas as there are massive rural-urban migrations of young people as they search for a better living. As we drive and promote sustainable development, we must never forget the critical role that local community organizations play. #LocalCommunities #LocalSolution #Funding #LocalOrganization #GrassrootOrganizations #SustainableDevelopment #BetterAfrica Michael Muiya Akampurira Micheal Dr Renuka Thakore Representing Global Communities The Movement for Community-led Development CorpsAfrica

HDI believes that a new Haiti will be comprised of strong local communities, especially in rural areas which are the heart and soul of the country. Supporting community-led development is one of the most effective strategies for sustainable development assistance. Inter-American Foundation (IAF) has been a longstanding champion of community-led development and has made grants to over 200 local organizations in Haiti. So we were delighted to co-organize with IAF a convening of 40 funders, intermediary organizations and capacity builders to explore how to both increase the amount of funding directed to community-led development and ensure we are providing the most effective forms of support. A panel of Haitian experts shared updates on what local communities are facing during the current situation and highlighted the opportunities presented. The crisis in Port-au-Prince has caused tens of thousands of residents to move or return to rural communities. There is broad recognition that the country’s future lies in decentralization. There is strong solidarity in rural communities and young people eager to engage in local development, particularly in improving the profitability of agriculture. Participants discussed the best ways to support the development of leadership and institutions crucial to advancing community development. They addressed ways that donors can collaborate to be more effective partners to communities and deliver more of the right types of support. They then made commitments on specific actions they will take to help bring more resources to community led development. The convening was a great opportunity for our community of donors to learn, network and brainstorm on how we can most effectively support community-led development to advance more sustainable progress in #Haiti.
