The LCA’s mission is to support LNOs to lead in the design and execution of large-scale systems change, and directly access the significant bilateral and multi-lateral financing (93% of ODA) that is currently channeled almost exclusively to and through UN or INGO vehicles. The platform aims to build the infrastructure to shift greater funding, resources and power to local actors, so they can drive their own development priorities, while also changing donor processes and systems to be more equipped to accompany and complement community driven initiatives. The LCA model is currently being implemented in Uganda, Bangladesh and Nigeria.
