<p>The Grand Bargain commits aid organisations and donors to achieve by 2020 a global,
aggregated target of at least 25 per cent of humanitarian funding to local and national
responders as directly as possible. DFID does not currently capture the proportion
of UK humanitarian funding that goes to such responders. However, the UK’s newly published
Humanitarian Reform Policy outlines how national and local actors will be at the centre
of DFID’s work. DFID is making progress on this, for example, through support to the
Start Fund (£30 million 3 year programme agreed until 2018) that provides rapid support
to humanitarian crises such as a landslide in Sierra Leone, flooding in Nepal and
Bangladesh, and displacement in the Philippines caused by conflict in Mindanao. Start
Fund report that 42% of projects in 2015/16 were implemented fully or partially by
a local partner.</p>
