I'm confused that WFP annual Grand Bargain self-reporting says it provided 13.9% of its humanitarian funding to local actors but at today's Global Partnerships Conference WFP asserted that it provides 50% of its humanitarian funding to local actors. Well done to WFP if it does

Thanks to @CAFOD for inter alia highlighting @christian_aid 's people-centred inspiring @StartNetwork-supported sclr approach with our partners Koral and Service Jesuites aux Migrants in Haiti during their #GlobalPartnersConference scaling local leadership side-event

Yvette Cooper tells @FCDOGovUK #GlobalPartnershipsConference local churches and local faith actors are a key pillar of local humanitarian action + often churches + churchgoers in the UK are among the first + most generous supporters + givers when a humanitarian crisis strikes

Yvette Cooper tells #FCDO #GlobalPartnershipsConference Israel's blocking humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza is utterly indefensible - we must use all diplomatic & political levers to enable humanitarian aid to flow freely & unhindered to tens of 1000s of hungry people in Gaza

Hanin Ahmed co-founder Old Omdurman Sudan Emergency Response Room tells #GlobalPartnershipsConference far too little % of global humanitarian aid reaches local actors directly & 64% is captured by large UN agencies - a much more equitable donor funds allocation is badly needed
