The Local Coalition Accelerator (LCA) is a platform whose aim is to bridge the gap between bi-laterals, multi-laterals, philanthropy and local actors to fundamentally change the way that international assistance is designed and delivered. The LCA leverages, partners with and amplifies existing localization efforts to support coalitions of local actors who can effectively co-design and implement holistic, evidence-based programming at scale to address systemic, multi-sectoral problems. In parallel, we work alongside donor systems to shift processes to deliver more power and funding directly to local actors. The LCA model is grounded in the principles of Self Help and collective action, grounding the model in a robust evidence for delivering impact by placing community driven collective action at its core.
