NEAR (Network for Empowered Aid Response)
We are a network of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) from the Global South, who share a common goal of promoting fair, equitable and dignified partnerships in the current aid system. Our Mission is to help bring about a world where local communities have the capacity, resources and agency to address the challenges that impact them. Our Vision is to work towards restructuring the global response to human, economic and environmental challenges so that actions to address these concerns are locally driven and owned, and promote equitable, dignified and accountable partnerships.
