Purpose of the study
The study seeks to understand what local and national\n aid actors consider meaningful accountability for international actors’ commitments\n to the localisation and local leadership agenda.
Given the learning study\n is small-scale, it will not assess the full range of localisation commitments or map\n every accountability initiative globally and in-country. Rather, it will focus on\n the relationship between LNA localisation framing and input and international actors’\n decisions, behaviour and follow-up.
Specifically, the study will examine:\n
What mechanisms do LNAs think are working well or have the potential to\n work well on accountability to the localisation agenda, and which are considered insufficient?\n
Where do LNAs find they are able to influence with regard to accountability\n approaches, and where do they not?
How do LNAs feel international actors\n can be more effectively held to account?
The study should conclude\n by identifying practical implications for international humanitarian actors.
\n
3. Scope of work
The study will explore the overarching question:
What\n does meaningful accountability to the localisation agenda look like from the perspective\n of local and national actors?
4. Key questions to address
The\n study should organise its analysis around the following three core questions:
What\n mechanisms do LNAs think are working well or have the potential to work well on accountability\n to the localisation agenda, and which are considered insufficient?
What\n makes formal and informal existing mechanisms credible, useful or ineffective from\n an LNA perspective?
Where do LNAs find they are able to influence accountability\n approaches, and where do they not?
How do LNAs feel international actors\n can be more effectively held to account?
What role should different entities\n of the humanitarian eco-system have to hold international actors accountable to the\n localisation agenda?
What practical changes, incentives, consequences or\n follow-up arrangements would strengthen accountability to LNAs?
6. Deliverables\n
- Inception report, including refined research questions, analytical framework,\n desk review approach, sampling strategy, methodology and detailed timeline. The inception\n report should specify how the country cases will be integrated into the analysis
-\n Short emerging findings debrief with Save the Children Denmark’s refernce group,
-\n Draft report, including findings, illustrative examples of accountability approaches\n and emerging implications.
- Final report, including:
executive\n summary,
synthesis of existing evidence,
LNA perspectives on the\n aspects of the localisation and local leadership agenda for which international actors\n should be held accountable,
assessment of the accountability mechanisms\n that LNAs consider to be working well or insufficient,
analysis of where\n LNAs are and are not able to influence accountability approaches, including barriers\n and enabling conditions,
recommendations for how international actors can\n be more effectively held to account,
Brief presentation of findings for\n Save the Children Denmark and, where appropriate, external sector audiences.
The\n final report should be suitable for external publication and should seek to contribute\n to wider sector learning on localisation and accountability.
7.\n Timeline
- The work will be undertaken from October to December 2026.
-\n Final report submission: December 2026.

Key questions to address \n\nThe study should organise its analysis around the following three core questions: \n\nWhat mechanisms do LNAs think are working well or have the potential to work well on accountability to the localisation agenda, and which are considered insufficient? \n\nWhat makes formal and informal existing mechanisms credible, useful or ineffective from an LNA perspective? \n\nWhere do LNAs find they are able to influence accountability approaches, and where do they not? \n\nHow do LNAs feel international actors can be more effectively held to account? \n\n What role should different entities of the humanitarian eco-system have to hold international actors accountable to the localisation agenda? \n\nWhat practical changes, incentives, consequences or follow-up arrangements would strengthen accountability to LNAs? \n\n6. Deliverables \n\n- Inception report, including refined research questions, analytical framework, desk review approach, sampling strategy, methodology and detailed timeline. The inception report should specify how the country cases will be integrated into the analysis \n\n- Short emerging findings debrief with Save the Children Denmark’s refernce group, \n\n- Draft report, including findings, illustrative examples of accountability approaches and emerging implications. \n\n- Final report, including: \n\nexecutive summary, \n\nsynthesis of existing evidence, \n\nLNA perspectives on the aspects of the localisation and local leadership agenda for which international actors should be held accountable, \n\nassessment of the accountability mechanisms that LNAs consider to be working well or insufficient, \n\nanalysis of where LNAs are and are not able to influence accountability approaches, including barriers and enabling conditions, \n\nrecommendations for how international actors can be more effectively held to account, \n\nBrief presentation of findings for Save the Children Denmark and, where appropriate, external sector audiences. \n\nThe final report should be suitable for external publication and should seek to contribute to wider sector learning on localisation and accountability. \n\n \n\n7.
