ACTED
AGORA, a joint venture between ACTED and IMPACT Initiatives, was created in 2016 to ground humanitarian and development work in local knowledge, in keeping with the motto « Think local, Act global ». AGORA is an area-based approach for aid planning and delivery anchored in local territories and knowledge to better support people in protracted crises or fragile contexts.
It has four objectives:
• Delivering quality evidence-based programming better tailored to each context
• Ensuring that programs are locally led by empowering local actors and communities throughout the project cycle.
• Delivering aid effectively across sectors through a Nexus approach.
• Linking local actors with external actors with resources and capacity to help them develop and implement environmentally sound local recovery and resilience solutions.
AGORA puts local people and actors at the center by using territories as the basis for the planning, and delivery of assistance, and ensuring that action is guided by local knowledge and supports local structures and capacities.
AGORA has already been piloted in nine countries through thirteen projects, reaching an estimated 963 210 direct beneficiaries, and supporting 791 organizations. In Afghanistan, the approach has been implemented since 2018 in four provinces of the North.
