Africa Region
Driving Change from the Ground Up
In the Africa region, we have 114 members in 18 countries (Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Malawi, Liberia, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Uganda, Sudan, Ghana, Mali, Sierra Leone, Zambia, Tanzania).
Localisation Labs in Africa are proving that lasting change starts with local leadership. From Ethiopia, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo and Somalia, these Labs are building momentum through advocacy, action, and powerful partnerships. Whether shaping national policy or leading responses in crisis zones, African Lab leaders are redefining what it means to deliver truly community-centred humanitarian solutions.
“Ethiopia Localisation Lab’s multifaceted approach, combining capacity-building, strategic advocacy, and global partnerships, positions it as a leader in Ethiopia’s localisation movement. As ELL members continue to push for systemic change, their efforts underscore the power of local actors in driving sustainable, community-centred solutions,”
