Pillar III – Localization and Learning: Building Local Actors' Capacity for a more Accountable and Effective Humanitarian Response ltpgtLeveraging WW-GVC's previous LHF-funded interventions and extensive localization experience, this project aims to enhance the capacities of NNGOs and other target actors for accountable and effective humanitarian responses. Aligning with the LHF Localization Strategy and the 2024-2025 PSEA Strategy in Lebanon, the project addresses gaps in operational management, PSEA and AAP knowledge among NNGOs and local actors. Building on the ongoing LHF-funded intervention (CBPF-LEB-23-S-INGO-25453), WW-GVC aims to enhance the impact of interventions funded under the 2024 1st Standard Allocation Pillars 1 and 2, to be implemented between 2024 and 2025. ltbrgtThis will be achieved through phased Capacity Building, Learning, and Capitalization activities over ltbgt9 monthslt/bgt. Initially, 5 NNGOs (25 practitioners) will be selected through an ltbgtExpression of Interest lt/bgt(A1.1.1) to benefit from a tailored ltbgtCapacity Building program lt/bgt(A1.1.2) consisting of 8 sessions covering MEAL, Program implementation, Admin  Finance, Procurement  Logistics, Safety  Security, followed by on-the-job post-training support. This will equip NNGOs with robust monitoring and management systems, improving their operational efficiency and increasing funding opportunities. ltbrgtIn coordination with the PSEA Network Coordinator and Co-chair, WW-GVC will co-deliver 2ltbgt PSEA Focal Point ToTlt/bgt (A1.1.3), aiming at enhancing the capacity of local organizations in appointing and identifying PSEA Focal Points who will deliver internal PSEA training to their colleagues. These sessions will target 50 practitioners.  ltbrgtNNGOs and local actors' capacities in assessing PSEA risk and developing related prevention and mitigation measures will be enhanced through 2 ltbgtcontextualized PSEA toolslt/bgt (A1.1.4), developed with the PSEA Network and relevant Inter-Agency Sectors and disseminated in the short-term to at least 50 practitioners. ltbrgtContinuous learning and knowledge sharing among humanitarian actors will be fostered through 2 ltbgtthematic roundtables on MEAL and AAP/PSEAlt/bgt (A1.1.5), targeting 40 practitioners, ensuring the capitalization of best practices for dissemination within Lebanon's humanitarian community. ltbrgtWW-GVC emphasizes the importance of continuous ltbgtMonitoringlt/bgt (A1.1.6) and ltbgtCommunicationlt/bgt (A1.1.7) of these activities by establishing a comprehensive framework for evaluating the intervention's impact, its effectiveness in enhancing local actors’ capacities and their level of knowledge retention, involving in the short term at least 50 practitioners. ltbrgtThis intervention, targeting a total of ltbgt215 practitionerslt/bgt in Lebanon’s humanitarian community, underscores the Grand Bargain's principle of making humanitarian action "as local as possible and as international as necessary." WW-GVC will ensure the sustainability and localization of the intervention through extensive coordination with the existing Inter-Agency coordination structures, including the PSEA Network and thematic Sectors. ltbrgtlt/pgt
