Abstract

This brief paper describes what has been learned from the process of co-design, training and initial piloting of survivor and community-led crisis responses in the Philippines. The pilots were implemented in a collaboration between Philippino NGO ECOWEB, local communities and the Local2Global Protection initiative. The paper describes how the process has developed and where it might be leading. The paper also introduces the core components of the methodology and the associated training and ongoing mentoring including:
i. lessons learned from the “how” of the initial co-design and piloting process that underpins the action research (and how it might be improved);
ii. components of the core sclr methodology being developed and tested by ECOWEB, L2GP and other partners (national and international);
iii. outcomes and lessons learned from its application in practice in different humanitarian contexts (assisted through independent social research);
iv. opportunities and constraints for building on this process to accelerate the institutionalisation of locally-led humanitarian programming in the Philippines,
and some experiences of ECOWEB in trying to do so.
