<p>DFID already releases funding to local and national actors in humanitarian crises
in line with the objectives in the Grand Bargain. In specific terms DFID continues
to fund the START Fund, the Humanitarian Leadership Academy and the Disasters and
Emergencies Preparedness Programme (DEPP) as part of its Grand Bargain commitments.</p><p>DFID
is closely following the Grand Bargain workstream on localisation, led by the International
Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the Swiss government. Currently
discussions are ongoing on how best to track this commitment. Once an approach has
been agreed, it is likely that an international mechanism will be used for assessing
the commitment e.g. OCHA’s Financial Tracking System, which applies to all donors,
not just the UK.</p>
