NEAR’s Newsletter – March 2025

Dear NEAR Members and Friends of NEAR, 

We hope this finds you well. 

 

In the midst of all the conversations and chaos around budget cuts and aid reform, local leaders continue to stay steady in their support to their communities. While our members are affected by donors’ budgets shrinking, we – as a community and network – continue to support each other and continue to stay grounded in our work, finding solutions in crises. 

And now on to the many exciting things that NEAR and our members are embarking on. 
 
Until next time, 
Hibak
