Partnerships between local and international actors are increasingly part of the humanitarian environment. The localisation agenda continues to raise expectations and targets for the proportion of humanitarian action that is implemented by local and national actors in disaster-affected countries. Supporting the development of genuine and effective partnerships between local and international nutrition actors is an important part of a strong sectoral response. The nutrition cluster coordination team has a key role to play in nurturing such partnerships within the nutrition response.
