This week we take an in-depth look at USAID’s localization report. While in certain countries the agency has already significantly surpassed its localization target, in others it is struggling to get close to it. We discuss why that might be and contemplate how USAID can get closer to channeling 25% of its eligible dollars to local levels by 2025.
On the topic of USAID, we also dive into the findings of an investigation by the USAID Office of Inspector General that show the agency did not consistently use the proper mechanisms to oversee awards to the United Nations, the World Bank, and other multilateral agencies.
We also explore how Humanity United is working to refine its approach to participatory grantmaking by aiming to provide money in a way that is more aligned with the priorities of grassroots organizations.
To discuss these stories, and others, Devex President and Editor-in-Chief Raj Kumar sits down with David Ainsworth and Elissa Miolene for the latest episode of our weekly podcast series.
