The AHN Blog is a platform for sharing lived experiences, field insights, and critical reflections from local actors shaping the future of humanitarian response in arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs). Through voices from our network and partners, we spotlight how communities are addressing climate shocks, conflict, gender inequality, and resilience building through innovative, locally-driven solutions.

From success stories to systemic challenges, our blog documents the real-time evolution of the localization agenda in practice. Join us in exploring the dynamic intersections of policy, practice, and people-led transformation—where every story is a step toward more equitable aid systems and empowered ASAL communities.
