Canada shows it’s possible: Systematically providing overhead costs to partners
June 2023
The Grand Bargain emphasises strengthening local and national responders in humanitarian efforts, making actions more local, and supporting overhead costs. Canada demonstrates this by implementing funding guidelines for NGOs, including overhead costs for local partners, and collaborating with donors for an accountable and sustainable response system.

In humanitarian operations, the Signatories have been implementing their commitments through different approaches: examples from various actors, such as the UNRWA, International Committee of the Red Cross, the World Food Programme, and the Norwegian Refugee Council have been developing community-driven programmes showing evidence that participation is happening.
