The time is right for donors to deliver on locally-led development. A new study by our partners at The Share Trust and the Warande Advisory Centre finds that investing in local organizations can be more trustworthy, cost-effective and sustainable. Here's what we know about directing more funding to local organizations: ➡ It's cost-effective: Shifting 25% of international aid money to local organizations instead of international ones could save 32% in costs due to lower overhead and salaries, according to the new research. ➡ It's sustainable: Equipping local communities to handle crises helps them avoid major losses during a disaster. It’s cheaper and less catastrophic to prepare and build resilience than to rebuild after a disaster. ➡ It's trustworthy: Local nonprofits ensure more aid reaches those in need, as U.N. international staff earn 28 times more than local nonprofit staff. ➡ It's possible: Last year, 42% of our international funding went to locally-led organizations, nearly tripling in two years. At the 79th U.N. General Assembly High-Level Week, we're pushing for greater commitment to locally-led development by our peer funders. More than 21 bilateral donors and 26 foundations in the United States and Europe have endorsed USAID's Donor Statement on Locally-Led Development. As we look ahead and continue to build the evidence base, our CEO Peter Laugharn invites additional funders to the table to advocate for concrete goals, clear timelines, and real accountability for meaningful and long-lasting changes.

Sr. Jane Wakahiu, Head of our Catholic Sisters initiative, spoke at the Summit of the Future at a UN General Assembly side-event to champion the global network of Catholic sisters, who advance the Sustainable Development Goals in education, gender equality, and good health and well-being. Joined by our President and CEO Peter Laugharn, they highlighted the critical role of Catholic sisters in driving sustainable development in the world’s hard-to-reach communities, where it is needed most. Thank you to the Bakhita Partnership for Education (BPE) for hosting and for all the work you do to improve access to quality girls’ education in #Kenya, #Uganda, #Zambia, #Tanzania and #Malawi.

Looking forward to joining @Peter Laugharn and our @Conrad N. Hilton Foundation team in NYC for the U.N. General Assembly. It will be great to see many of the Foundation’s grantees, as well as attend the Concordia Summit to celebrate the 2024 #HiltonPrize recipient, @Amazon Frontlines, and hear from co-founders Nemonte Nenquimo and Mitch Anderson about their incredible work protecting the Amazon rainforest.

I’m looking forward to being in New York City this coming week for the annual UN General Assembly. #UNGA Week is always a great opportunity to meet with our grantee partners and engage in thoughtful conversations with colleagues across civil society, government, and the private sector. This year, the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation team will focus on 3 critical areas: LOCALLY-LED DEVELOPMENT: Philanthropies and bilateral donors have taken practical steps in increasing resources going directly to local orgs, however, more can and should be done to shift decision-making and funding to organizations located in impacted communities. #locallyleddevelopmentINNOVATIVE FINANCING: Let's bridge the gap between the private sector and refugee markets, invest in refugee-led organizations and refugees themselves, and support anticipatory action funds which permit quick funding in disaster and conflict zones. INVESTING IN EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT: Research shows that the early years in a child’s life are critical for their development, but this crucial area continues to be underfunded. The international community needs to do more to help the millions of children and caregivers who lack the support and resources needed to thrive. Finally, this year’s HILTON HUMANITARIAN PRIZE has been awarded to @Amazon Frontlines, an organization that supports Indigenous people in defending their rights to land and their way of life, preserving biodiversity in the Amazon, and protecting the environment. I very much look forward to hearing more about their work during this year’s @Concordia Summit. #HiltonPrize
Amazon Frontlines is the 2024 recipient of the world's largest annual humanitarian prize awarded to a nonprofit, the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation Humanitarian Prize. Swipe to learn more about an upcoming session at the 2024 Concordia Annual Summit, “Securing Our Climate Future: Lessons from Amazon Frontlines” where you'll hear from Amazon Frontlines's remarkable Co-Founders Nemonte Nenquimo and Mitch Anderson as well as Hilton Foundation President and CEO, Peter Laugharn.
