Localisation in Action: Bank of Case Studies from Alliance Members
As part of the Localisation Initiative, the Alliance is committed to expanding opportunities to share and showcase learning, successes, and expertise related to localisation in child protection in humanitarian action.
This page brings together a growing bank of case studies that highlight diverse, locally-led initiatives advancing localisation across contexts. Each example demonstrates how local and national actors are strengthening child protection systems, influencing decision-making, and delivering more effective and sustainable responses for children and families affected by crises.
By documenting and elevating these experiences, the Alliance aims to accelerate evidence-based advocacy for increased localisation — demonstrating not only why localisation matters, but how it strengthens child protection outcomes in practice.

What You Will Find in Each Case Study
Each case study follows a consistent structure to support peer learning and practical application. You will find:
- Context and background of the crisis or response
- Local leadership roles and decision-making influence
- Strategies and processes used to strengthen localisation
- Challenges encountered and solutions identified
- Outcomes and impact for children and families
- Lessons learned and recommendations for replication or scale
Together, these examples provide concrete strategies that can inform programming, partnerships, coordination, and advocacy efforts across the child protection community.

Why This Matters
Localisation is not only a policy commitment — it is a pathway to stronger, more accountable, and more sustainable child protection systems.
By elevating locally-led initiatives and sharing practical evidence from members, the Alliance seeks to:
- Strengthen collective advocacy for equitable partnerships and financing
- Promote meaningful participation and influence of local actors
- Encourage peer-to-peer learning across contexts
- Demonstrate the direct link between localisation and improved protection outcomes for children
