The Local Response Pooled Fund South Sudan (LRPF-SS) is an initiative established by local and national NGOs in collaboration with the National NGOs Forum, select International NGOs, and with the support of Save the Children South Sudan. The initiative aims to operationalize the Grand Bargain Commitment to localization in South Sudan by increasing National NGO direct access to funding and enhancing their involvement in funding decisions.
Launched in September 2021, the LRPF-SS is an innovative funding mechanism designed to provide targeted financial support to local and national actors deemed too high-risk for direct funding. The fund’s objective is to empower these actors to deliver essential relief, recovery, and development assistance to underserved and neglected communities. The initiative shifts away from top-down approaches and champions local leadership, decision-making, and capacity strengthening.
LRPF-SS currently has 205 National Member Organizations, making it a key platform for locally-driven humanitarian and development responses. It has been officially recognized by the Relief and Rehabilitation Commission (RRC) and is officially registered as a National Funding Mechanism in South Sudan. By leveraging the strengths and capacities of these local and national actors, LRPF-SS aims to increase community-centered responses, improve coordination, and enhance resilience-building efforts. Through collaboration and strategic resource allocation, the initiative strives to ensure that financial support is channeled effectively to communities in need.
