The OECD Toolkit for implementing the DAC Recommendation on Enabling Civil Society in Development and Humanitarian Assistance provides guidance for fostering fair partnerships between aid providers and local CSOs. It focuses on correcting power imbalances, boosting the effectiveness of aid, and encouraging local leadership through participatory methods. The toolkit advocates for involving local CSOs in decision-making processes, enhancing their resilience, and prioritizing local ownership and rights-based approaches. Organized into five core areas, the toolkit delivers practical strategies for establishing equitable and effective collaborations. It aims to improve the impact of development and humanitarian efforts by ensuring that local CSOs are actively engaged and supported. Read the toolkit here.
