Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 72
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Strengthening the resources and capacity of national non-governmental organizations, community and faith-based organizations and others, including volunteer groups, helps to ensure that local partners are closely involved in achieving local- and area-based solutions. As stated by the Secretary-General "We must become better at supporting and strengthening national and local capacities rather than replacing them" (see A/70/709, para. 170). Not only is this valuable in the short-term, it helps to build national capacity to respond to long-term displacement challenges.
