Within the 3RP framework, the UNHCR-UNDP Joint Secretariat has a clear and focused mandate on knowledge collection and gap analysis. This research was commissioned by the Secretariat to define and assess the progress of 3RP partners since the World Humanitarian Summit (WHS) in implementing commitments on localisation. It also includes a gender dimension, analysing whether localisation has improved the response from a gender perspective.

The main target audiences for the report’s findings are those planning and implementing the 3RP. Others working on related issues and programmes in the sub-region, as well as individuals operating at a global level on localisation, will also find aspects of the report relevant to their work.
