It’s more important than ever to transfer power to local responders. We aim to share lessons about adopting a locally-led approach to humanitarian responses by finding out about the survivor and community-led response (sclr) approach from two experts.  We talk to Simone de Vicenz, Head of Humanitarian Programme Policy and at Christian Aid, who has led much of the SCLR work for Christian Aid and who is part of Local2 global, which champions this work. We also speak with Darare Gonchesalesa from Indigenous Resource Management Organisation, based in Marsabit county, northern Kenya who has practical experience of implementing the SCLR approach.  Podcast host: Suzanne Fisher-Murray  Interviewees Simone di Vicenz, Head of Humanitarian Programme Policy and at Christian Aid Darare Gonchesalesa, from Indigenous Resource Management Organisation, Kenya Other partner organisations mentioned in the podcast CFTA Culture and Free Thought Association in Gaza European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations Want to find out more about this approach?  Read two Christian Aid reviews of the survivor and community led response approach after the August 2021 earthquake in Haiti: a Christian Aid review which found that people are happier when they are in the ‘driving seat’ of emergency response projects, and a Learning Review which found that the approach was viable, accountable and an effective approach that worked at scale.  Read Issue 79 on localisation and local humanitarian action in the Humanitarian practice network magazine.  Find out more about Local to Global, which has developed the survivor and community-led crisis response approach.  This podcast is an 18Sixty Production for Christian Aid.
