Locally-Led Development

InterAction and its Members work to shift power and the flow of resources away from U.S.-based non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to local organizations.

In the long run, this will not only make foreign assistance more accessible, equitable, and responsive to local communities, but also advance the economic and security interests of the United States.
