Locally Led Development and Humanitarian Response Act

Introduced·11/20/25

Locally Led Development and Humanitarian Response Act aims to expand U.S. engagement with local actors.

The Locally Led Development and Humanitarian Response Act seeks to encourage the U.S. to adopt a model of locally led development and humanitarian response. It expands engagement and partnership with local actors by authorizing the relevant foreign assistance agency to accept applications or proposals in languages other than English if it eases the burden of a local actor working with the agency. The Act also mandates the agency to conduct outreach campaigns, engage with local actors, and explore government-to-government partnerships.
